Re: [aur-general] Compiz package naming

Ok folks. As there have been no comments over the weekend I've uploaded
compiz and compiz-bzr:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compiz/
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compiz-bzr/

I've filed requests that compiz-core-devel be merged with compiz and
compiz-core-bzr be merged with compiz-bzr.

 Merged a few bzr packages into this one. Could you upload it as
 'compiz-core-bzr', all other distros use the 'compiz-core' name. I'll
 do the

 Meh. Upstream doesn't recognise the concept of compiz-core since the

 This package isn't compiz-core. It's compiz-core + all the plugins +
 ccsm +
 the gtk decorator + the kde decorator. Take a look at the components
 (http://releases.compiz.org/components/), compiz-core is just one of 17
 packages. This package, on the other hand, is all of them

 ---

 So obviously I support korrode's new naming scheme of changing things
 back
 to how they were originally named. It doesn't matter to me if you rename
 compiz-core to compiz-legacy-core or compiz0.8-core, but the word core
 needs to be dropped from all the 0.9x packages.

 Looking deeper in lldp servers/agents capabilities, I came to the

 With this in mind:

 ladvd has no release since Feb 2012 and less features than lldpd.

That's fair, thank you for packaging lldpd!  I noticed RedHat no

should package lldpad (aka Open-LLDP) from http://www.open-lldp.org/ ?

[aur-general] virtualbox-extension-pack vs. virtualbox-ext-oracle

2014-08-04 Thread Christian Hesse
Hello everybody,

following a lengthy discussion sublu just deleted my package
virtualbox-extension-pack from AUR. This is what his package
(virtualbox-ext-oracle) does:

* Install an archive file.
* Use install script to copy a number of files to /usr without pacman knowing
  about it.

I think this is the wrong way, so I created my own package
(virtualbox-extension-pack) that tries to get it right:

* Just install the files required, ready to use for virtualbox.
* No crappy install script required!

My package had about 75 votes IIRC, probably there would have been more if
more people knew about the details. The discussing had a number of comments
that agreed about my opinion regarding installing/coping files to /usr with
pacman or the install script.

Although I think it is wrong seblu is free to provide his package via AUR.
But is there any good reason mine is not allowed to reside there?

For what it's worth, I (a regular Arch Linux user) support this
package, I think it's the best way to install this extension pack, and
was a bit amazed that someone with a competitive package could
delete this one.

[aur-general] TU resignation.

2014-08-04 Thread Peter Lewis
Hi all,

I had hoped it wouldn't come to this, but based on mounting evidence,
I've come to the conclusion that I should resign as a TU. Most of you
probably already forgot I was here, and I'm sorry that I just haven't
been able to keep on top of things and participate lately.

A lot has happened with me over the last year: became a father, got a
new job, moved house... and I'm realising that my life has changed such
that I haven't found time to keep up with Arch / TU duties.

I'm still a day-to-day Archer at work and home, and don't see that
changing any time. And it's great to have been part of such a talented
and welcoming team. Thanks to all of you for the effort you put in to
keeping Arch the great distribution it is.

Cheers,

Pete.

Hi,

I didn't vote for any package I'm using from AUR. Perhaps it's a
mistake.

Here the package of choice is virtualbox-extension-pack.

Currently downgraded regarding to
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/41424 .

The package shouldn't be deleted.

I've checked both packages, then i've also checked virtualbox documentation. 
Documentation is available at http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/
* Ch8.36. VBoxManage extpack *
The extpack command allows you to add or remove VirtualBox extension 
packs, as described in Section 1.5, “Installing VirtualBox and extension 
packs”.
In regards of VirtualBox docs, Seblu is installing extension pack the proper 
way.

Your package isn't following upstream way to install extension package and you 
are not sure it will keep working, you are just lucky.

Your package is only a duplicated package of seblu's one, only differing on the 
way to install extension pack files isn't a good reason enough. Seblu was right 
to remove your package, there was an explanation before suppressing, rules 
were followed.

Nothing more to say.

Even if the script is the recommended way, shouldn't the package be
designed so that it will track all of its files? Having a post install
script that places files through your filesystem feels like a dirty hack at
the best of times.

  But is there any good reason mine is not allowed to reside there?

 I've checked both packages, then i've also checked virtualbox
 documentation.
 Documentation is available at http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/
 * Ch8.36. VBoxManage extpack *
 The extpack command allows you to add or remove VirtualBox extension
 packs, as described in Section 1.5, “Installing VirtualBox and extension
 packs”.
 In regards of VirtualBox docs, Seblu is installing extension pack the
 proper
 way.

 Your package isn't following upstream way to install extension package and
 you
 are not sure it will keep working, you are just lucky.

 Your package is only a duplicated package of seblu's one, only differing
 on the
 way to install extension pack files isn't a good reason enough. Seblu was
 right
 to remove your package, there was an explanation before suppressing, rules
 were followed.

 Nothing more to say.

Re: [aur-general] Compiz package naming

2014-08-04 Thread Rob McCathie
...and did we decide if we're using -legacy or 0.8 in the names of
the legacy 0.8 series packages?

I can make all new 0.8 packages with the changes, submit them, make
the merge requests, then disown them (and the original maintainers can
take them back, or whatever), if it makes things easier.

 Ok folks. As there have been no comments over the weekend I've uploaded
 compiz and compiz-bzr:

 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compiz/
 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compiz-bzr/

 I've filed requests that compiz-core-devel be merged with compiz and
 compiz-core-bzr be merged with compiz-bzr.

 Regards

 @/dev/rs0 Understood. I'll happily take over maintenance. It makes sense
 to have the two packages standardised.

 @all If alucryd or anyone else doesn't raise any objections by Monday
 then I'll upload compiz and compiz-bzr and request compiz-core-devel and
 compiz-core-bzr be merged into them.

 Is that acceptable for everybody?

 I totally agree with you. I was just pointing out why the packages are
 named the way they are. Please change them unless alucryd wants to weigh in

 beardedlinuxgeek: Wrong, the latest stable branch is 0.8.x, the 0.9.x
 branch is unstable.

 This is simply incorrect, as i've explained earlier.


  Comment by alucryd 2014-04-01 08:1
 Merged a few bzr packages into this one. Could you upload it as
 'compiz-core-bzr', all other distros use the 'compiz-core' name. I'll
 do the
 merge afterwards.

 Meh. Upstream doesn't recognise the concept of compiz-core since the
 0.9 series. Do we comply with upstream or do we comply with other
 distros? Methinks upstream.


 Sidenote:

  http://www.paradoxcomputers.com.au/arch/packages/compiz-0.
 9.11.2-1.src.tar.gz

 After some things were noticed and some discussion had in the
 compiz-core-bzr comments, this package has been updated and anyone
 reviewing it should re-download it.

 This package isn't compiz-core. It's compiz-core + all the plugins +
 ccsm +
 the gtk decorator + the kde decorator. Take a look at the components
 (http://releases.compiz.org/components/), compiz-core is just one of
 17
 packages. This package, on the other hand, is all of them

 ---

 So obviously I support korrode's new naming scheme of changing things
 back
 to how they were originally named. It doesn't matter to me if you
 rename
 compiz-core to compiz-legacy-core or compiz0.8-core, but the word
 core
 needs to be dropped from all the 0.9x packages.

 Hi Charles,

 I think it makes more sense for you to take over my package.

 As I mentioned, it's basically a derivative of the bzr package. I do
 enjoy
 maintaining packages but I figured, as the bzr package receives
 development,
 it would be simple enough for you to apply any changes to both
 packages
 instead of always going through me.

 Hello all,

 So I'm just wondering if the change should go ahead now as the idea
 has
 been floating around for nearly a week and nobody has raised
 objections.
 Regarding the 0.9 bzr package, that would involve me uploading
 compiz-bzr
 and then requesting compiz-core-bzr be merged.

 Regarding the stable package, someone should upload the package
 korrode
 made and ask for compiz-core-devel to be merged into it.

 /dev/sr0, what are your feelings on continuing to maintain your
 package?
 If
 you want to continue maintenance then you should be the one to
 upload the
 korrode's package and ask for the merger. If you're sure you would
 prefer
 me to take over as you suggested earlier then please let me know and
 then
 we know where we stand.

 On the subject of the stable package, a tarball for 0.9.11.2 has been
 released on launchpad.net

 Regards

  That's great korrode. Thanks. :)

 Is everyone agreed vis-a-vis the new name scheme? I only ask
 because a
 TU
 seemed to have other ideas regarding Compiz package naming
 consistency -
 I
 for instance was asked to rename compiz-bzr to compiz-core-bzr.
