Re: [aur-general] extra/gnome-common is out-of-date

[rafael ff1]

3.7.4 is an unstable version and should not go to official repos. And
related to the automake 1.13 and gnome-common, see
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33285 (there is a patch in there).

No need for such harsh email. I don't think TUs would disown before
analising some evidences, like why it is out-of-date, whether the
maintainer is active or not, dates, etc.

Anyway, this maintainer had only one package sent more than a year ago
and did not replied for a week. It doesn't look like he is actually
maintaining something.

Even though your common works fine when packaging, I prefer not to use
this way because AUR web interface doesn't parse correctly:AUR web
interface will display the dependency of the package as 'zlib' while
it should be 'lib32-glibc lib32-zlib'.

I rather use the script below simply because, with this, AUR will
display correctly the dependency, according to my Arch.

arch=('x86_64' 'i686')
if [ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ]; then
  depends=(lib32-glibc lib32-zlib)
elif [ "$CARCH" = "i686" ]; then
  depends=(zlib)
fi

For instance, with 64 bit system, access pcsx2-svn [1] package in AUR
and you will notice that it shows 'lib32-' packages as deps.

You put a black magic inside "pkgname=" and AUR won't parse that. If

May I give my 2 cents on this subject ?

The upstream states in its website's main page that this project is
deprecated and users should use Mozilla Thunderbird. So, I see to
options: 1) remove both, as they might be useless; 2) remove
'spicebird-bin' (as there is no binary available anymore) e fix
'spicebird' to build from source for those want to use it for some
reason.

Personally, I think 1st solution is better.

yeah, I gave you this idea. ;) It has some problems, as LMD tried to
source ~/.LMD/options (in line 5) before this piece of source. Also,
why call "lmd -reconf" instead "lmd -reconf"? - not one of my
brightest idea.

You did not understand. If we are talking about same issue, the
problem is not a user permission related.

See below the output I get when ~/.LMD doesn't exist and I run
/usr/bin/lmd, installed with your package. This will happen only once,
as in the second time ~/.LMD was already created:

$ lmd
/usr/bin/lmd: line 5: /home/rafael/.LMD/options: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/lmd: line 6: source: /usr/share/lmd/langs/: is a directory
/usr/bin/lmd: line 5: /home/rafael/.LMD/options: No such file or directory

I was debugging your PKGBUILD and how the behavior of LDM, and I was
not able to find any problem related to user permissions. Maybe you
can enlighten me.

Only problem I figure out is that when the ~/.LMD do not exists,
running /usr/bin/lmd will report errors messages because it did not
find ~/LMD/options... That is upstream's fault, as it should be able
to figure out that ~/.LMD/options doesn't exist before trying to
source it... Is this the problem you are having script related?

pkg/usr/bin/lmd has the command added with sed. Case yes, then you're

If you're not comfortable with sed, you can always create a patch
using 'diff -u foo1 bar2 > foo-bar.patch' and add to source=() ... But
since we are here:

My sed command executes an expression in an input text. The input text
is from the file 'lmd'. I also added the flag '-i' so the output of
this command will not go to stdout, but directly to the input file.
So, it will not just read the file, but alter/write too.

The expression structure is basically 'A#B#C#', where #s are
delimiters; A is a specific line number that sed will look and
replace; B is the regexp to look (and to be replaced) in that line in
A; and C is the replacement regexp that I want to replace B. Please
note that '\n' is a newline character and '\t' is a tab character.

So, as I mentioned before, I replaced the string 'then' in line 325
with the new line/command you provided.

'sed' can do much more than that. Man page and google can help a lot.

Cheers,

Since your first post, I was not comfortable having a install script
looking for a normal user's home folder, because you can always find
yourself in the situation that a user might be added after LMD is
installed. (not being harsh, just not a good idea, IMO)

So, I came up with the idea of applying a patch in the 'ldm' script.
With this patch, 'lmd' would verify if the user have '~/.LMD'
everytime, right before starting the gtkdialog. See my diff:


--- src/usr/local/bin/lmd   2011-07-03 17:19:24.0 -0300
+++ pkg/usr/bin/lmd 2012-05-21 22:07:06.587084106 -0300
@@ -323,6 +323,7 @@

 if [ -z $1 ];
 then
+   [ ! -d ~/.LMD ] && lmd -reconf
gtkdialog --program=MAIN_DIALOG
 fi
 echo $1


I added the following line the PKGBUILD, after installing lmd to '$pkgdir':

  sed -e '325s#then#then\n\t[ ! -d ~/.LMD ] \&\& lmd -reconf#' -i
"${pkgdir}"/usr/bin/lmd

which just replace in line 325 the "then", adding one more line with
the command command you provided.

Hope it helps.

Try uploading source tarball (src.tar.gz) instead of the package

Related your question, I don't have a definitive answer, but I just
remembered the package 'virtualbox' [1] creates group in install file
and 'apache' [2] work with a specific user and group as well. Maybe
this could help.

Aside your question, my 2 cents on your package: great organization in
the PKGBUILD, you made it very readable, but you could put double
quote (") on $srcdir and $pkgdir to avoid aur-user with "/srv/folder
with space". Also, if you used 'makepkg --source' to create source
package, you would be able to avoid including
"utorrent-server.install~" and "PKGBUILD~" files.

'makepkg -g' for different sources or your source is corrupted. In the

It is interesting how both provide the same version of the same

"kernel26-headers" for virtualbox-sun.

Sort of. If the maintainer knows this issue, he/she can avoid it. So,
IMO, the problem is the maintainer's, in the end.

Of course this is not a big issue, but if i can choose to solve this
issue with one more line in the PKGBUILD, I prefer to do it than mess
the displayed source url.

md5sum is important to verify if the file being download is the one
you (maintainer) expected to provide to the user, according to its
intergrity check. Having a dynamic md5sum generator doesn't seem to be
interesting.

I liked Massimiliano Torromeo's idea: uploading tarball to other
mirror (ex: dropbox) would indeed allow you to have a real static
non-daily source tarball to be used in the PKGBUILD. This way, you
wouldn't need to upload that frequently and user would be able to use
and update to software without problem.

Lukas, I might be wrong, but this is sort of how flagging out-of-date
works in official repos, right? It sounds good. Better than being
mandatory to add a comment in the comments list after flagging ood -

IMO, shouldn't be mandatory. If you have a stable version package and
user flags it because there is a new devel version or the PKGBUILD has
a bug, then the problem is a misunderstanding of the OOD feature usage
by the user. In this case, leave a educational comment.

's' stands for Secure. Maybe security is a good reason.

I normally look for AUR packages in my google search engine, in case
I'm not already in AUR interface. Since https is the default login,
google search find the http interface.
That's not much bad, but if I want to login after that, I can't just
mouse-click the new "http login disabled" message.
IMHO, it would be nice to have a URL in front of this warning that
forwards to https in the same page you are at the moment, instead of
going to AUR Home. Example:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41362 # goes to
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41362

[aur-general] skype Segment fault and lib32-gconf

[rafael ff1]

Hi all,

I'm running into segment fault when starting skype (from [multilib]).
After some tests, I notice that when i uninstall lib32-gconf, it seems
to solve the problem. Can someone reproduce the error for me?

Basically
1- Have installed skype and lib32-gconf
2- Run skype (error expected)
3- Uninstall lib32-gconf
4- Run skype (success expected)

Thanks

-- Rafael
