[aur-general] Package deletion request
Hi. I've just claimed ownership to and updated the previously orphaned package extract-xiso [1]. Since the author of this program incorporated the somski mod into it, the package extract-xiso-somski [2] has been made redundant and should be deleted.

[aur-general] Code review request: new PKGBUILD omodoro
Hello trusty Arch people, i just created my first PKGBUILD for the little python script omodoro i wrote. It would be nice if you guys could do a code review to approve the PKGBUILD i wrote for the AUR. The PKGBUILD is here: http://www.okraits.de/upload/omodoro/PKGBUILD Any feedback/criticism is appreciated! Greetings, Oliver
[aur-general] Merge request
I've moved 'boto-git' to 'python2-boto-git' because it's intended for Python 2. I'd like to now merge boto-git with python2-boto-git.
Re: [aur-general] Code review request: new PKGBUILD omodoro
Related to (4): I've got a PKGBUILD
(https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pa/passgen/PKGBUILD) which points
to a git repo, but *not* using a git://xyz.git url. Instead, I'm
using the format
https://github.com/phillid/passgen/archive/master.zip; - should this
package have -git appended? I'm thinking it doesn't need the -git
suffix because it's pulled over HTTP and doesn't need git... What's
the convention on this?
Cheers.

1. Your pkgver function doesn't work. pkgver should not be random, it should
increase with each commit to the repo.
2. Don't have it depend on an old, replaced package (python3). You just want
'python'.
3. Please quote paths that contain a variable like $pkgdir.
4. You should append -git to the pkgname when you're pulling from git
master.
5. Why bother to define _gitname if it's the same as pkgname? Since you
should be changing pkgname, _gitname can make sense or you can just do
${pkgname%-git} and get the same thing without having to use an extra
variable.
Those are my suggestions, nothing too serious.

Yes, it should. The -git suffix indicates that the package is built
from VCS. master.zip source file *also* comes from VCS, from git
repo and means current HEAD of master branch. The main point of VCS
package is that the source is moving target and it changes
independently from package maintainer. And it differs from 'versioned'
package where sources are changed only when maintainer updates
PKGBUILD.
Using master.zip is a bad idea because:
- Once master.zip downloaded it is cached in the local directory. If
you run makepkg again nothing will be redownloaded even if upstream
repository has changed.
- Updating local git repository is more effective as it fetches only
the latest changes. Thus package rebuild is faster.
So what you want for passgen:
- rename it to passgen-git
- use git repository for sources=() instead of 'master.zip'
- add 'git' to makedepends
- add proper pkgver()
- use 'SKIP' for sha1sum as project head can change at any moment
I'm thinking it doesn't need the -git
suffix because it's pulled over HTTP and doesn't need git... What's
the convention on this?
Cheers.

Right, that makes sense. In that case, I'll just switch it back to
using static source tarballs.
Thanks for your help.
