Re: [aur-general] Promoting use of .AURINFO
On Sun, Jan 12, 2014 at 02:35:33PM +0100, Lukas Fleischer wrote: Hi, I think we should promote the use of .AURINFO files. Currently, only a very small fraction of packages use it. A basic description of its format can be found in the commit message of AUR commit 5a11373 [1]. Regardless of whether we keep that format or use something entirely different for metadata later, it is good to have this information stored somewhere and the format is simple enough to migrate to another format later. I think we should at least come up with a tiny tool to generate this kind of metadata post-makepkg and put it into the source tarball, then add some information to the submission section in the official AUR wiki article [2]. Does anyone have plans to write such a tool? Did anyone already integrate this functionality into an existing AUR uploader? If no one steps up, I might attempt to write one on my own in a couple of days. I might also add a deprecation warning for source tarballs without .AURINFO files in one of the upcoming AUR releases. Regards, Lukas [1] https://projects.archlinux.org/aur.git/commit/?id=5a1137363cb358593a64e0e6d0b0adeb1a9514ff [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_User_Guidelines#Submitting_packages Hello, I was under the impression that .AURINFO was introduced to override some fields in PKGBUILD when they are written in format which can't be properly displayed by AUR (or maybe I've missed something). But why do you want to force it's usage for all packages? In most cases AURINFO will just duplicate same fields from PKGBUILD. Also I have some questions about it's format: 1) If package has different dependencies for 86_64 and 686, what should I put in depend array? 2) Which 'pkgname' will be unique - from PKGBUILD or AURINFO? E.g if I upload package with name 'foo' and overriden name 'bar' will someone be able to upload new package with name 'foo'? Or 'bar'? -- Regards, Anton Larionov

But why do you want to force it's usage for all packages? In most cases AURINFO will just duplicate same fields from PKGBUILD. The long-term plan is to use it for all AUR packages, improve the format and finally make it an official feature of makepkg(8) (the file will probably be called .SRCINFO then but we're far from there). See my other reply to Sebastien for some reasons on why it should be used. Also I have some questions about it's format: 1) If package has different dependencies for 86_64 and 686, what should I put in depend array? Good question. This cannot be answered properly, though, since dependencies actually are a property of the binary package and not a property of the source package. Maybe we should loosen the format for dependencies of source packages and allow optdep-like comments? Something like: depends = foo depends = bar depends = foobar: x86_64 only Just an idea. Comments welcome. 2) Which 'pkgname' will be unique - from PKGBUILD or AURINFO? E.g if I upload package with name 'foo' and overriden name 'bar' will someone be able to upload new package with name 'foo'? Or 'bar'? Only the information from .AURINFO will be used. You can already trick the AUR into reading a completely different name from the PKGBUILD than it actually produces (and that problem is unavoidable), so that isn't a (new) issue. I've created shell-helper which generate srcpkg, add .AURINFO and upload it. Haven't really tested it much yet. https://gist.github.com/diffycat/8389617 And I don't think that many people will start adding .AURINFO until it's creation will be supported in makepkg. Like you start `makepkg --source`, then it's search for existing .AURINFO (or .SRCINFO) or generate it from corresponding fields in pkgbuild, print it and allow to edit before packaging. -- Regards, Anton Larionov
