Re: [aur-general] extra/gnome-common is out-of-date
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). Rafael Ferreira 2013/1/27 Limao Luo luoli...@gmail.com: Hi TU's, I'm writing to let you guys know that extra/gnome-common has been out-of-date for a couple of weeks. I would really appreciate anyone updating it to 3.7.4 (it's currently 3.6.0) so that autoconf 2.13 plays well with the gnome-autogen.sh script that is a part of this package; several of my packages (e.g. rhythmbox-git, gmpc-git, gnome-doc-utils-git) don't build atm because of this, because the old script only checks up to autconf version 2.12. Thanks in advance. -luolimao

hope this helps :)
I'll try what you said felix :D rafael I did so, but there was a TU

The OP has not shared any details about any reason or about writing emails to the maintainer, nevetheless you disowned the package without asking. May we know the reason? This process is too open if you ask me, anyone can ask here to disown any package. Now there are packages in the AUR which I trust, because I trust the maintainer, hence I don't check the PKGBUILD before every update. A git package can be changed any time without version check, but it will be compiled every day when I makepkg. So to summarise: someone asks for a disown here, gives no reasons why. You orphan it, anyone can adopt it immediately and change the package as he wants. I update the package using cower, and trust that the maintainer has not changed (I know, my mistake), so I have an altered package without my knowledge. Am I missing something? 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 I don't think TUs would disown before analising some evidences, like why it is out-of-date, whether the maintainer is active or not, dates, etc.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.

Re: [aur-general] PKGBUILD for 32bit app on 64bit Arch
2012/8/15 Jonathan Arnold jdarn...@buddydog.org:
I looked around on the wiki but didn't find any guidelines for
installing a 32bit app on a 64bit arch. For dependencies, is this
common practice in the PKGBUILD:
[ $CARCH = x86_64 ] depends=(lib32-glibc lib32-zlib)
[ $CARCH = i686 ] depends=(zlib)
--
Jonathan ArnoldWebstream: http://hieronymus.soup.io
Talent wins games, but team work and intelligence wins championships.
Michael Jordan
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.

My bigest thanks friend
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,
Rafael Ferreira

Re: [aur-general] postinstall script and local user directory
2012/5/21 Jorge Barroso jorge.barroso...@gmail.com:
2012/5/22 Auguste Pop augu...@gmail.com
i suggest installing a script doing what you want to do in $HOME
directory and print out an instruction in post_install function to
remind the user to run that script as normal user without sudo.
inside the script, $HOME can be used, or ~ too.
Thanks Auguste, I'd like to do it all in the postinstall even though, I'll
try a little changes on it and I'll see what can I do and if I see it
doesn't works... I'll keep that on account
Good Idea, I wasn't thought about that ;)
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.

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.

Re: [aur-general] Removal request: virtualbox-sun
2012/3/26 Det nimetonma...@gmail.com: I guess this is a good summary of all the talk in virtualbox-sun's comment section[1]. The reality here is that virtualbox-bin[2] has evolved into something _at least_ as good as virtualbox-sun. While it's true that -sun is the original one it's also the one with the incorrect naming, a bit slower updates (by a day or so) and less votes (229 vs -bin's 3430). Because we can't justify keeping duplicated work around just to make everybody happy, one of them has to go. Even if -sun was to stay here the better stuff in -bin would have to be implemented there first before the removal and the renaming. When put together with the comment/vote merge it's starting to sound a bit pointless (taken how we can just remove that one). I know what I'd do but it's not my decision: it's yours. [1] virtualbox-sun = https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31996 [2] virtualbox-bin = https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51727 Det It is interesting how both provide the same version of the same softwaer, but have totally different depedency listed.

2011/10/27 Maciej Sitarz macieksit...@wp.pl: Hi all, I'm maintaining hunspell-pl AUR package (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44331). The problem with the package is that the maintainer of the source provides only the latest(daily) tarball snapshot. The md5sum of the tarball changes daily and the old files are removed. The packages is very often marked as 'outdated' and I'm asked to update it, both via comments and email. Some users propose to use dynamic values for pkgver= and md5sum=, but I think it's not a good way. Current PKGBUILD is: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hu/hunspell-pl/PKGBUILD Proposed PKGBUILD: http://pastebin.com/bQCafYGt What would you suggest to do? I think the best way would be to include the package in extra, but I'm not sure if it has enough votes. Thanks Best regards -- Maciej Sitarz 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. Cheers, -- Rafael

A separate comment box on a separate flag package out-of-date page (similar to what archweb does) to * Allow for sending that comment alongside the notification mail. * Allow for linking the comment to the out-of-date flag (allows TU to quickly check for a reason without having to read all the comments). * Show some extra information about what out-of-date means. 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 - which I disagree.

Why are the Arch webby bods forcing this nanny-state twatmuppetry down our throats? It shouldn't be enforced, it should be the default. But you're right, it seems it is enforced in some cases, with the redirect on bugs.archlinux.org for example. In this case the login is on the main page, which is probably the reason for the redirect. It's really somewhat confusing, in the meantime I start to think that optimally both would be available and the browser settings should be the place to decide (in general). 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.

Also, the AUR might not accept the package without a build function.
I'm not sure if this has been fixed, but if you get a submission error
try adding:
build() {
true
}
above the package function.
Actually it accepts no build() function. ex: lib32-gconf (

[aur-general] PCSX2 Plugins folder - suggestion?
Hi all, I'm the maintainer of the package pcsx2-svn[1]. PCSX2 from now on will install files in a different folder than /opt/pcsx2 - I'm still going to adapt the PKGBUILD. Plugins, as I can see in Archlinux Packaging Standards [2], should go to /var/lib/pcsx2/PLUGINNAME.so... However, pcsx2 is a 32 bit package and only works in 64 bit because it uses lib32 packages. In my 64 bit system, I can see that the compilation of pcsx2 [gcc -m32, thanks to gcc-multilib] gives me ELF 32 bit plugins, which makes it a little bit weird to have it inside /var/lib/pcsx2 - which is a system's architecture folder. However, on 32 bit systems, there would be no problem putting plugins in /var/lib/pcsx2. Having that said, where should 32 and 64 bit compilations of PCSX2 put its plugins (talking about /varlib/pcsx2 and /var/lib32/pcsx2)?

Re: [aur-general] PCSX2 Plugins folder - suggestion?
2011/7/14 Justin Davis jrc...@gmail.com: I think that you mean /usr/lib/pcsx2 instead of /var/lib/pcsx2. (...) Indeed, thanks for correcting me. Using two different folders depending on the host architecture is overly complicated. The advantage of a lib32 directory name is to separate lib32 dynamic libs from 64-bit dynamic libs right? There's no need to separate plugins if there is no chance of them getting accidentally used. They cannot be passively used but must be actively sought out in the predefined location. I don't use multilib so I may be wrong. It happens that if you are in 64-bit Arch, you will build for PCSX2 32-bit plugins. If you are in 32-bit Arch, you will also build 32-bit plugins. The difference is that [multilib] system (only for 64-bit system) has 32-bit lib files at /usr/lib32 - separated from 64-bit lib files. If the plugins are 32-bit, it's logical to put them in /usr/lib/pcsx2 in 32-bit system. But in 64-bit system, I'm not sure if they whether I should put them in /usr/lib or /usrlib32/ (inside pcsx2 folder, of course). Installing this package's plugin folder differently according to architecture seems weird. - I could be wrong. -- -Justin Rafael
