Re: [aur-general] pkgbuild with after installation Customizations

2013-10-27 Thread Kyle
Best practice is to write the systemd file without a default. Espeakup
uses the default British English Espeak voice if no voice is specified.
Then if the user wishes to change the voice, he/she can add a voice
option on the ExecStart command line. Hope this helps.

Responding to a message written by Curtis Shimamoto:
# Did you create the service file for it?  If so, then you could just
make it
# something like espeakup@.service and then just put a "%I" in the ExecStart
# command where the voice/language would typically go.  That way the
user could
# enable something like espeakup@en-sc.service.

Even better. I had seen that done for devices and virtual private
networks, but I had never actually tried it for other command line
options. It occurs to me that since I had a major hand in writing the
espeakup systemd service that is included with the package in the
community repo that I could have added that option, but my goal at the
time was to get it ready for systemd as quickly as possible, and since
no default was specified in the init script, I just used the espeakup
command with no optional arguments. Oh well, I'd say it's probably too
late to send in a patch for that now that everyone using espeakup knows to
systemctl enable espeakup.service

[aur-general] [OT] how to post messages (was Re: espeakup's service file yet again lol)

2013-11-16 Thread Kyle
ue to the discussion than simply saying that I agree
with you. On the other hand, most answers can be given in a clear and
concise way that doesn't have to refer back to the question, and
certainly doesn't have to rewrite the entire conversation that led up to
it. I don't see any problem with a Q&A style post that responds to
multiple points by quoting each Q and following it up with an A, but in
the case of a single question and single answer, or in the case of a
single answer that addresses only one of the original questions, it
looks much better, and saves much time for both the composer of a
message and for readers to have separate messages that look like


Subject: message quoting

_1.


In summary, make your subject line reflect the content of the message.
Usually, replying is enough, but if the message strays too far from the
topic of conversation, make the subject line reflect this. Refer back to
the subject of this message for an example.  Keep quoting to an absolute
minimum, and if quoting, rather than top or bottom posting, answer the
quoted question inline, and only quote the usually very small parts of
the message that are relevant to the answers. However, the best possible
posting style is to write the post in such a way where no quoting is
necessary. Make the answer to the question stand on its own, clearly and
concisely providing an answer that new readers will find useful, either
paraphrasing the question within the answer, or making every effort to
make it possible to very easily deduce the question from the answer. One
more thing: if you find that you must quote, edit that very long
attribution line. When lots of dates and times from different time zones
come together, it only serves to confuse readers. It is probably
sufficient to edit the attribution so that it looks like "Person wrote""
"According to Postman Pete," or similar short, catchy if desired,
attribution line. Hope this helps.

I can see that .SRCINFO is completely different from the fields in
PKGBUILD after all. It isn't just the spaces left and right of the =
sign as I first thought. Apparently it doesn't show arrays in the same
way either, instead putting the same key on multiple lines with one
value per key. So this isn't exactly as trivial as I thought, although I
still think there would have to be a way to keep from having to
duplicate metadata, but as long as there is something that can take the
info from the PKGBUILD and generate the file, it isn't really a big problem.

[aur-general] Strange filesystem conflict behavior

2013-03-25 Thread Kyle
Today I upgraded my espeak-test package in AUR from 1.46.53 to the
latest 1.47.03b. However, while testing my PKGBUILD, I received a file
conflict error when attempting to install the binary package using
pacman -U. It seems that /usr/share/espeak-data/voices/en, which is a
directory in previous versions of espeak-test as well as
community/espeak, has become a voice definition file in 1.47.03b.
Apparently, this causes a file conflict error to be raised by pacman
during the installation attempt. For now, I have added a comment to the
AUR page informing anyone using the package that they should remove the
entire /usr/share/espeak-data directory prior to installing the newest
espeak-test, since --force should never be used for this kind of thing,
and this removal is what I needed to do to get the new package
installed. The question is whether or not this was the correct action to
take, or if anyone has suggestions for truly fixing the problem. I am
also wondering at this point if I have found a bug in pacman that would
be causing this conflict error to be raised, in spite of the fact that I
have added the proper conflicts and provides fields hat should have kept
such an error from occurring. Thanks very much for any help.

According to Allen Li:
# Can't you just uninstall the previous version before installing the

This would work, except for the fact that espeakup depends on espeak, so
if espeakup is installed, manually removing espeak will automatically
remove espeakup, which would then need to be manually reinstalled.
Simply removing /usr/share/espeak-data avoids this extra complexity. I'm
still confused about why any user intervention would even be necessary
when removing the old version and replacing it with a properly
conflicting/providing version of the same package. Isn't pacman robust
enough to handle changes in the file structure of a conflicting package,
as long as the fields are properly filled in, and the old package is
being automatically removed?

Yes. I have that as well as conflicts=espeak in my PKGBUILD. I still get
the conflict error, which seems it should have been resolved by
including conflicts=espeak and provides=espeak in the PKGBUILD.

pacman -Rdd

Does work, and may be a good solution for now. It is probably better
than removing the espeak-data directory, but it still doesn't solve the
initial problem, which seems to occur only when a directory is replaced
by a file of the same name in an explicitly conflicting package.

Re: [aur-general] Package removal request

If you are running the gnome-shell version, the notification panel is
now a pop-up panel called "message tray." You can get to it using the
alt-control tab list, but the easiest way to open it is by pressing super-m.

If running sonar-13.04.1 which uses the GNOME classic interface, the
notifications should appear in the top panel. If you are no longer
finding the bottom panel in GNOME classic, which generally includes the
window list and workspace switcher, you may have somehow inadvertently
deleted it, in which case, you may need to add it again, recreating the
layout as close to the original layout as possible. It should also be
possible to remove some GNOME-related directories under ~/.local/share
to restore the default desktop layout, including the bottom panel.
Anything you remove from ~/.local/share will be recreated with default
settings the next time you use the application whose configuration you
removed in this way. Hope this helps.

So, now I apparently have to rewrite git history so that *every* commit

have multiple copies to correct.)  IMHO, there should be a clear warning

I eventually gave up and re-initted the repos.

This begs some questions:

1.  Is there any way to generate the .SRCINFO file without doing the
tar/untar workaround?

2.  Why is .SRCINFO even needed?  Why can't AUR parse the raw PKGBUILD?

Wow!  I didn't know about mksrcinfo, but I'm definitely using it now.
And according to the manual, that git filter-branch command actually

As a recent convert to MATE (coming from XFCE), I wish you the best of
luck.

It looks like Manjaro is maintaining their own MATE packages [0].  I am
not sure if you were aware of this, but if you were not then this should
help tremendously.

I experimented a little and successfully built all the GTK2 (stable)
versions of 1.14 [1].  Most of the effort was building things in the
right order (Take a look at make-gtk2.sh in [1].).  I did not need to
modify any of the PKGBUILDS from Manjaro.  I hope you may find this
useful.

MATE is certainly seeing far more active development than XFCE at this
point.  XFCE is unfortunately making the Netscape mistake of focusing on
rewriting all their code so it compiles with GTK3.  (In fact, they have
no new features planned for the next release.)  It will most likely be
years before we see new things and fixes come out of XFCE (and the GTK3
change will likely introduce more regressions).

So, MATE is like a breath of fresh air.  Personally, I would really like
to see MATE stay in community where everyone can easily install it.  The
way I see the problem, all we need to do is build the PKGBUILDS from
Manjaro and have someone from Arch officially vet them.  Will a TU
please help us?

This may sound like a silly question, but how are you building packages

I'm 90% certain that the order is correct.  It's a little hard to know
for sure because MATE 1.12 is still in community.

Almost everything depends on either mate-common or mate-desktop either
directly or indirectly.  That is why they are built first.  After that,
every package from MATE is installed as needed from the temporary repo.

The reason why I setup a temporary repo for the chroot is because many
of the PKGBUILDS are split PKGBUILDS that build conflicting gtk2 and
gtk3 packages, and those cannot be installed in the same chroot.

It took about half an hour for all of GTK2 MATE to build on my
Bloomfield i7 920 system.

(If you do find a discrepancy in the build order, please let me know.
I'm genuinely curious.)

I based the build order on the Install Guidelines [1] as best as I
could.  And the PKGBUILDs are taken directly from Manjaro, where they
have their own guy maintaining MATE packages [2].

I suspect that building all the gtk3 versions just involves modifying my
script to refer to the gtk3 packages.

[aur-general] Package not updating on AUR

2018-01-15 Thread Kyle McNally via aur-general
Hello,

I recently became the co-maintainer of the plex-sub-zero package [1]. I
pushed to it's repo, but the
version isn't being updated on the AUR. Should the AUR update when I push,
or does the maintainer need to do anything?

If you check out the PKGBUILD, it shows the updated file.

[1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/plex-sub-zero/

Ah, Man! Embarrassed that I missed that! Thanks for the help everyone.
Package working as expected now.
