How long ago was the contact try? If it is more than two weeks ago, a
TU might want to disown the package for you.

[aur-general] Merge and deletion requests regarding slime packages.

[Stefan Husmann]

Hello,
the "Superior Lisp Interaction Mode for Emacs" is now maintained on GitHub. So 
my package slime-cvs [1] should be merged into slime-git [2].

slime-snapshot [3] host sources on AUR and should be removed or changed to use 
a GitHub snapshot. There is also emacs-slime [4], fulfilling a similar purpose.

[1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/slime-cvs/
[2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/slime-git/
[3] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/slime-snapshot/
[4] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/emacs-slime/

We once had a slime package in [community]. The name of the cvs-packege and now 
the git packge was modeled after this. Should slime-git be renamed to 
emacs-slime-git?

Best Regards
Stefan

Re: [aur-general] Axiom (CAS) -- Same program, three packages (and licenses)?

Hello,

I looked up some information...

Axiom has been forked in 2007 into
FriCAS and OpenAxiom.

yes


So, Axiom and OpenAxiom are the same.


no, that conclusion is false. Both projects exist and are more or less active. 
They are even using different programming languages internally (Arcor vs SPAD).


Nevertheless there are two AUR-packages with OpenAxiom,
and the mentioned licenses (in the package description)
differ.



How will such a case be handled?


The wrong one should (GPL) be changed by the maintainer.

[aur-general] libwww in [community]

[Stefan Husmann]

Hello,

I wonder whythe libwww packages still remain in [community].

1. It is a library, and
2. no other package depends on it. Even perl-libwww apparently does not.

Normally libraries are not maintained in a repo for their own sake, are they?

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lxappearance-git/ please merge into

I'm not sure the naming conversion here - why do you want the "2" after its
name? Because any other lxappearance packages in the repos our in the AUR
don't have that versioned suffix.

Anyway if there was a reason behind this particular naming, and the current
maintainer of lxappearance-git has agreed to the merge, I'll do it.



Hello,

I stumbled over that orphaned PKGBUILD of lxappearance-git yesterday, and
updated it. But that was my only maintanance step for that package.

I have the same question as Felix has. I'd say, merge it the other way around, if no 
valid reasons are there for keeping the "2" in the name.

I orphaned lxappearance-git it again.

[aur-general] Merge request le-editor

Hello,

there are two packages in AUR which give bascally the same, "le"[1] and 
"le-editor"[2].

"le" is difficult to find, so please merge "le" into "le-editor". The current 
maintainer of le-editor agreed to this in the comments.

Same ist true for "le-git" and "le-editor-git".

[aur-general] Upload package blacklist, maybe upcoming merge request

[Stefan Husmann]

Hello,

I think that the package openjade1.3 [1] in AUR is badly named, and so wanted 
to upload
an openjade PKGBUILD. But doing so burp (from git) told me this:


error: failed to upload openjade-1.3.2-2.src.tar.gz: openjade is on the package 
>blacklist, please check if it's available in the official repos.


(with this strange apostrophe).

So I want to ask, if there is such a blacklist, and why openjade is on it. I 
know that there is a package jade in the repos, but that is not entirely the 
same as openjade.

Should openjade1.3 be removed? Or merged into openjade?

Re: [aur-general] Pinning dependency versions in PKGBUILDs?

[Stefan Husmann]

Am 06.08.2014 um 14:31 schrieb Florian Bruhin:

Hi,

I'm maintaining the vim-full[1] package which is a vim with all the
gvim features (Ruby/Lua/Python/Perl/Netbeans) but without GTK/X.

Now obviously I have to depend on vim-runtime, and I currently I have
the version number pinned (just like the vim package).

However that makes upgrading vim-runtime difficult, because pacman
doesn't know about the vim-full upgrade. A possible solution is to
build via `makepkg -d` (ignoring the old vim-runtime version), then
upgrading both vim-full and vim-runtime.

Should I just not pin the version at all (as in "partial upgrades
aren't supported anyways") to avoid these problems?

Florian

[1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vim-full/


I'd say, regarding pinning keep it as it is.

I have other issues: Built from AUR, this is not an official Arch Linux 
package, so you should use

--with-compiledby="$PACKAGER"  instead of --with-compiledby='Arch Linux'

(users who do not set PACKAGER in their makepkg.conf will get an empty string, 
but this is their fault)

And: If this is named -full, it should be full, so also python3 should be 
supported.

Hello,

sorry for the noise. I just encountered that they both use 

pkgver() {
  cd "$srcdir/ccl"
  svnversion
}

which was a version formerly recommended in the Wiki.

With 

pkgver() {
  cd "$srcdir/ccl"
  local ver="$(svnversion)"
  printf "%s" "${ver//[[:alpha:]]}"
}

everything is fine.

Maybe at this point we should start a discussion for what purpose the several 
mailing lists are there. IMHO in this case neither arch-general nor aur-general 
are appropiate, but the comments page in AUR for the requested package is.

Citing from https://lists.archlinux.org//listinfo/
arch-generalGeneral Discussion about Arch Linux  
aur-general Discussion about the Arch User Repository (AUR)

If we take it literally, both mailing lists are not appropiate for problems 
regarding a specific AUR package. 

And even the existence of the package is dabatable: it is just a perl wrapper 
script hosted in AUR to let the user _interactively_ (bad!) select the language 
in which she wants to use thunderbird. It then downloads a binary version of 
thunderbird and creates a package. 

Current pkgver is 36.something, not 37 -- maybe for a reason? Ask the 
maintainer.

Just my 0.02 €

No, I used mksrcinfo from pkgbuild-introspection-8-1.

The script ends in 

# TODO: replace this with 'makepkg --printsrcinfo' once makepkg>=4.3 is 
released.
{
  write_srcinfo_header

So maybe this package needs an update.

[aur-general] Gcc-6.3: ldd shows wrong symbols

[Stefan Husmann]

Hello,

I have put gcc63 to AUR, merely to have a working gcj implemetation, but
something is wrong with it. If I compile anything with it, ldd shows
that the resulting binaries have wrong symbols. For  instance,

ldd ~/paketierung/meine_Pakete/fotoxx/pkg/fotoxx/usr/bin/fotoxx |grep -v usr
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x7ffcbe5cf000)
libstdc++.so.6 => /lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/6.3.1/libstdc++.so.6 
(0x7fd4fb0e7000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/6.3.1/libgcc_s.so.1 
(0x7fd4fabbe000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x7fd4fe8d6000)

IMHO it should be libstdc++.so.6 => 
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/6.3.1/libstdc++.so.6

What am I doing wrong? I do not know how to fix this.

fotoxx is written in c++, but this happens also for programs compiled
with gcc or gcj. The pdftk PKGBUILD especially suffers from this, as you
can see in the AUR comments. 

Help is much appreciated.

Stefan

Hello,

so what is your question? Do you need help in uploading the PKGBUILD or
do you want us to doublecheck it?

If the latter: For me it is not working at all.

Warning: future versions will require --vars before variables are set
: error: invalid variable name: --prefix

The configure-script does not know that option.

Figure out how it is done right. Probably the other aspell-?? packages
in AUR can be taken as an example.

Chris Brannon schrieb:

Hello everyone!
I wish to become an ArchLinux Trusted User.  To that end, here
is a bit of information pertaining to me.

I started using Linux in the summer of 2000.  Before that time, I used
Unix shell accounts offered by various Internet service providers.
I've been using some flavor of *nix since 1995.
I'm blind, and I've always worked from a text console.  Dialup Unix shell
accounts had mostly vanished by 2000, so I installed Slackware.

I used Slackware until early 2007, and I learned a great deal about Linux
in the process.  I could describe my reasons for dropping Slackware, but
I won't.  It's a fine distribution, and the answer to the "which distribution
is best" question is mostly subjective.
After looking at several distros, I settled on Arch in September 
of 2008.  Moving to Arch was easy for me, because of my years of experience

with Slackware.

Currently, I maintain 8 packages in unsupported, and this number is growing.
See the following URL for my work:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=cmb
My username on the BBS, AUR, and wiki is cmb.

I want to do my part to make ArchLinux more accessible to the blind.
My first order of business is to submit two packages to the community
repository: speakup and espeakup.
These two packages provide one reliable method of supplying spoken output from
the text console under Linux.

I will endeavor to faithfully represent the interests of the whole
ArchLinux user community, not just those of the tiny subset who are blind.

Allan McRae is my sponsor.  Thank you Allan.

With kind regards,

Could a TU please orphan the package "eduke32" by user "funkyou"?
The software has had three new releases since the PKGBUILD was last
updated, which was in 08/12/05. 11 days ago I posted a comment on the package's 
page to notify the maintainer that the PKGBUILD is in need of updating. I also 
stated the PKGBUILD needs a general overhaul as it's not meeting the packaging 
guidelines. I didn't receive a response, so I sent him an email four days ago, 
no response to it either.

[aur-general] TU appliance Jens Maucher (defcon)

[Stefan Husmann]

Hello,

the voting period for Defcon has ended, and he did not get the majority 
of votes. He got four times "yes", eleven times "no" and four abstains.


So, that is democracy, but it would be nice if there would be some 
discussion about the reasons for the failure.

Re: [aur-general] OneSwarm in AUR wants to update itself

Hi,

I just created a package for OneSwarm [1] and uploaded it to the AUR [2].
The package works fine except that it has an auto-update feature, which of
course doesn't work since the user does not have write access to
/opt/OneSwarm. What is the correct way of dealing with this? Should I make
/opt/OneSwarm writable by the users group?

Thanks,

Hello,

your package relies on the binary tarballs from upstream. Did you try to 
build from the sources?


There may be more possibilities to influence the behaviour using that level.

Re: [aur-general] TU appliance Jens Maucher (defcon)

[Stefan Husmann]

Hello,

I think Jens and me got some thoughts about the reasons now, why the 
appliance failed. I would have expected this discussion in the 
discussion period, which was quite calm 8I now see that you guys 
expected some answers from Jens and me).


But now I think it is time to calm down a bit and to answer some questions.

Yes, the zattoo-software is bad, and the symlinking is dangerous. But on 
the on hand discussion was about TU appliance, not about moving zattoo 
to community.  The latter will never happen, I think also the license 
forbids this. On the other hand, if we follow the arch way, we do what 
upstreamers want us to do, without much patching. And I really do not 
see a way to get zattoo working without much googling and searching 
libraries from third sources. And on i686 zattoo works surprisingly well 
with that bad symlinks (no known way for x86_64).


install -d is preferable over mkdir -p, but also in extra are packages, 
that do not fullfil this point. As Angel said, I think this was a minor 
issue inthe rejection.


So let us now stick moree to the other Appliance we have these days. 
again thank you for th discussion.

Hi,
I went through your packages and found out many of them have been
previously created and mainained by someone else. I would like to
see some of your own contributions, could you maybe point them out?

I see in some of your packages the 1st line like: "# $Id: PKGBUILD,..."
which comes in PKGBUILDs moved to AUR from the repos, but actually
should not be there. You may remove this. I'm also not sure about
the actual status of the #Maintainer/#Contributor lines. Maybe some
other TU knows, if Maintainer is now allowed in AUR PKGBUILDs.

I'm wondering if you are talking about any particular projects you
want to help with or start, in your last paragraph?

Cheers
Jaroslav



Hello,

I think we some time ago came to the conclusion that the one who 
actually takes care of the package _now_ is the Maintainer, and everyone 
who formerly maintained the package is a contributor.


IMHO exactly this are the meanings of the words "maintainer" and 
"contributor". But I may be completely wrong.


Regarding your packages:
makedepends=('autoconf' 'automake' 'libtool' 'pkgconfig') is not needed 
(cairo-ubuntu). All these tools are in base-devel.

The configure script is looking for libtorrent and should look for

sed -i 's+libtorrent+libtorrent-rasterbar+' configure

If that fails, try to make a PKBUILD for libtorrent using

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/libtorrent/libtorrent-rasterbar-0.14.3.tar.gz

You may be able to do so via abs with the PKGBUILD from

Python's ConfigParser module is part of the standard library right now,

So even if you don't have this package installed you can do:

$ python

import ConfigParser

And this will work :)

Maintainers of these packages should rebuild the packages and remove
the dependency of the PKGBUILD:

Yes, now you are able to search for packages with him as Maintainer, so
you can search explicitly if there are packages affected that you are
using, as soon as they all are orphaned you have to check explicitely
for every package. So I think it's better to wait another few days
before orphaning them all.

I think that's an interesting idea and it should only need a few tweaks
to the code that displays the PKGBUILDs already (wrap the output in a
text area, add it to a form and then handle the POST data).

If we added this then changed the AUR so that any registered user could
edit any orphaned package online, it might encourage drive-by updates.
This would not present any new security concerns because any registered
user can already adopt a package, edit it, upload it then disown it. On
the other hand, not having to jump through those hoops might encourage
people to update it on the spot.



This might make such drive-by updates so easy that, since users would no
longer have to download the package data at all, they would submit their
edits without even bothering to compile-test them. At least now it's likely
that most people would at least run makepkg since it's only a single extra
step once you have it all downloaded and updated.

Please guys, calm down. Let's sit down a minute and think about it.
Tomás brought to our attention a problem that all of us have noticed:
there's no mean, for willing contributors, to find out if a package
has been orphaned. I think Angel is right with this ML not being the
right place to signal orphan packages, since there's usually no
discussion involved. On the other hand, I feel that he expressed his
ideas in a bit too strong way.

Anyway, back to the problem. I see two (non-mutually exclusive)
possible solutions:
 1. Add a notification e-mail for package orphaning. In fact,
orphaning is a very important phase in the package life, and between
package subscribers there will probably be at least one person who
wants to step up and adopt it. I'm all for this one.
 2. Add an "orphaning RSS feed". Many willing contributors are always
looking for nice packages to maintain, and they have no way to find
out if their favorite package has been orphaned. An RSS feed would
allow contributors to quickly substitute former maintainers, thus
allowing an overall better AUR quality.

What do you think?

Corrado


Hello,

I think the easiest way to archieve something similar to point one is to 
encourage everyone who orphans a package to leave a short comment, i.e 
"orphaning", on AURs comment page. Everyone who gets notifications about 
that package (and these are the candidates for adoption) will get a mail 
then, and no code changes are needed.

The cvs repository on repos.archlinux.org doesn't reflect the current
repo, so if your package was added after the AUR move then it won't show
up there.

Regarding this: what do you think a proper solution would be? Putting
a repo viewer on aur.archlinux.org? Or rsyncing to gerolde?

Keep in mind this will change when I finally get to the move to SVN
(soon, I promise! Been sick)


Just an FYI - gerolde is now rsyncing community CVS because I've been
slow on the SVN move. The repo viewer should work fine in the interim.


Sorry for the late reply: It works! Thank you.

The communitypkg script has not been updated yet so you need to do 
something like this:


svn co 
cd /trunk
(update pkgbuild, build package, and scp it to ~/staging/community on 
sigurd)

svn commit -m "update message"
archrelease community-{i686,x86_64}

on sigurd:
/arch/db-community{,64}

The whole upload, commit and archrelease will be handled by communitypkg 
once it gets updated


Hope that helps...

Thank you, that worked for the package apvlv.

The PKGBUILD needs some adjustments regarding proper manpage and info file

be given using a small patch.

That could take some time, last release was 2005. I have attached a

more or less the result of some sed lines, so please don't start

Ok forget about this, after donvla stated on AUR that it works with
readline-6-00, I looked at the differences between readline-6-00 and
readline-6-003, the latter puts libreadline.a into /usr/lib instead of
/lib. It seems when yafc looks for readline it starts in /usr/lib and
uses libreadline.a which exports xmalloc and which leads to compile
errors.

If you run configure --with-readline-lib=/lib it uses libreadline.so
and compiles.


Allright! I can confirm that this works. happy yafcing !

Hello,

I'd like to formally express my interest in becoming a Trusted User.
My name is Laszlo Papp and I'm addicted to archlinux. :) I'm a 23 year
old from Hungary, working at a resourcement/development company as
Embedded Linux Developer.

I've been using Linux for more than 7 years. I used Gentoo until early
2008, and I learned a great deal about Linux in the process. I settled
on Arch more than 1 year ago, nearly 1 and half :) Moving to Arch was
easy for me, because of my years of experience with Gentoo. I was very
attracted by the lack of dominance of money and business world and by
the warm and friendly community.

I have got some experience in Assembly, C, VHDL languages. I have
written some open source usb kernel driver (for Passport Reader,
Fingerprint Reader, etc.), and a pci kernel driver.  I've worked with
PIC, AVR microcontrollers, DSP processors, ARM architecture, and FPGA
design. I deal with Blackfin DSP board with Embedded Linux on it
recently, and I try to help to write C/ASM API for this.

My username on the BBS, AUR, Wiki, Bugs, and Freenode is
djszapi. Mainly my contribution to archlinux community was on this
sites. See the following URL for my packages in AUR:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=djszapi

I think that Arch does not have a significant presence in the embedded
development area of community. I wish to make Arch a viable choice for
an embedded developer, by maintaining more popular embedded
development related packages in [community].  My Second purpose to do
the best support in Arch for vim editor. I like to work from a text
console, with framebuffer, and vim :) As a TU, I will offer my
knowledge and time to improve my favourite distribution and also the
open source world, which gave me so much in the last few years.

I would like to add these packages to the [community] repo.
1. AVR microprocessor: avarice, avra, avr-gdb, kontrollerlab, simulavr,
tavrasm, uisp,
gnome-avrdude
2. PIC microprocessor: picasm, picp, picprog, pikdev, piklab, pk2cmd
3. Blackfin Digital Signal Processor: blackfin-toolchain-elf
4. Tinyos: nesc, tinyos, tinyos-tools
5. ARM architecture: openocd-svn
6. Picoblaze Softcore processor: kpicosim
7. FPGA design: ghdl-bin, verilator
8. Some common, like usb-serial converter driver: libftd2xx.

Feel free to ask me, if something is obscure or you would like to know
more about me.

Thanks to Stefan Husmann for sponsoring me.

Best Regards, Laszlo Papp



Hello TUs and other listmates,

I am glad to sponsor Laszlo for his TU applicance. He is very active
on forums and this list, and I think his goals in making Arch Linux a
preferred Linux distribution for embedded Linux developers can make Arch more
popular. His packaging skills are very well, and I think he would be a
valuable team member.

So let us consider his applicance and discuss it in the next five days.

Well, I'm not a TU, and can't vote, but keep in mind, what a TU is,
what TU means and what a TU's task is.

I don't want to offend Laszlo, and I'm probably doing him wrong.

I guess you TUs know this anyway, but let me say it anyhow.

Trusted User doesn't mean, he likes Arch Linux - I like it, too -, he
likes to contribute to Arch Linux and to the community. Trusted User
means, that this user is completely trustworthy and that this user can
be completely trusted especially in security-related stuff. 


I must say I am really shocked about that statement. What makes you think so? 
do you have a technical problem with one of his packages?



There are
so many doubts about Laszlo, that I don't think, that he is really
trustworthy. I, too, have my doubts about it. And keep in mind, that
not only other TUs but also every other normal user must trust a TU.


I that would be true, we cannot have any TUs. There may always exist a user 
who is paranoid about any specific person. These doubts should not be 
published on mailing lists if there is no concrete case that has happend. 
Also, even if there is a concrete case, we are humans and make mistakes.

And we are able and willing to correct them, to learn and not to do them again.


The task of a TU is not to maintain a few - maybe 300 - packages in
AUR. This can do every user. Writing documentations in the Wiki can
also be done by every normal user. And every normal user can help other
people in the forums.


Sure can these things be done by any user. But one of the latest applicances 
was done because someone was very helpful on AUR bug day. And it turned out 
that he is a very good TU. 


Btw., I don't know, why someone needs to maintain or at least
contribute 300 packages in or to AUR. Most of them - except of about 2
or 3 - are vim plugins anyway. 


so what?


I only maintain a few packages I need
myself, so that I can test them, before I upload them to AUR. I don't
think, that I could do it with 300 packages.


That point has been often discussed. Noone uses so much packages on adaily basis. 
But if every TU only maintains packages he or she actually uses, we would have, 
let's say, about 200 or 300 packages in [community]. I am quite sure there would 
be an outcry if we stop maintaining [community]-packages we do not use often. 



The task of a TU is especially maintaining and compiling packages in
the community binary repository and to do administrative and security
related stuff in the AUR like orphaning packages etc. A TU needs to be
able to write working and trustworthy PKGBUILDs, and a TU needs some
more than only basic scripting skills, because some applications need
PKGBUILDs which are not quite trivial, the people - every Arch Linux
user - rely on and trust the binary repositories in terms of security
and stability. I don't see this with Laszlo.


Why not? He is kernel developer! Where do you see "only basic scripting skills"?

Particularly see the symlink thing in his PKGBUILD for the library. 


What do you mean?


If
he was a Gentoo user for more than a year - I was one for about 6 years
-, he should know, that a library doesn't have to be symlinked to keep
or get reverse dependencies compatible to updated libraries. See
revdep-rebuild, which every Gentoo user knows only too well. Symlinking
a library can only be a quick and dirty workaround locally on one PC
until the reverse depedency is rebuilt or fixed. If such a symlink is
needed by another package, than he should file a feature request to
upstream. So this shows me, that Laszlo doesn't have enough scripting
and packaging skills, at least not enough to be able to build and
maintain packages in a semi-official binary repository, which every
user trusts.


We can discuss this point, but can a single package destroy trusts in a person? 
The majority of Laszlo's packages give me the impression that his skills are 
good enough. If you find one that is bad, make suggestions how it can be made 
better, but do not say you do not trust him.




I also read his comment in the forums, which Xyne posted here.

Well the "Welcome to the forum" can be seen friendly. But then he
writes "We must realize whether...", and just repeats, what Allan has
already written. For me it sounds as he feels like already being a
developer, or that he wants to presume to be one. I don't know Laszlo's
intention, and I can do him wrong, but somehow it looks like craving
for recognition, there are at least doubts.

So I don't know, if I could trust him enough.




Well, you will never know. You cannot look into someones head. I cannot see 
any reasons to not trust Laszlo's willingness and skills to be a good TU. 


Sorry for the long reply.

Actually, I've asked on local forum what license they are providing their work under [1]. The reply 
was, I quote, "Any individual cheats in this forum/submitted can be taken as Public Domain. I 
don't know if the collection needs a license or what type of license to put on the full 
collection". So what do you think, can I put a "license=('PD')" in PKGBUILD? Or even 
no license at all?

Hello,

to my knowledge, not in every country something like "Public Domain" is even a valid term in justice, so I would say, wait a little if there are other answers on that forum, and if not, put license=('unknown') into the PKGBUILD, but provide a license file with the answer you cited from the forum.

Thanks.

Hello,

if the package has more than 10 votes or more than 1% usage in pkgstats, 
you can just do it. It would be nice to leave some friendly words on the 
AUR comment-page or in a private mail to the maintainer.


If the package has less than 10 votes and less than 1% usage in pkgstats,
you can ask on this list. You will need 3 TU's affirmation to move it.

For the technical side refer to

and
