[aur-general] Out of date packages
Hi, I am the user luolimao in the AUR. To all of those that use outdated packages that I maintain, sorry. I haven't had access to a computer for the last few weeks, and I won't have my Arch Linux setup back until next week (due to a broken hard drive). If there are any packages that need to be updated urgently, shoot me an email and I'll gladly orphan it. Thanks, Limao Luo (luolimao)
[aur-general] delete request [Jan 19]
Can https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zsh-yaourt/ be removed? zsh-completions is in [community] already and contains the yaourt completion. Also, I am of the opinion that https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zsh-yaourt-hg should also be removed, since it's an even older version (last commit was in 2011), but I'm not the maintainer of that package. Thanks in advance. -luolimao

[aur-general] Delete Request [Jun 4]
This package is dead upstream, since the acquisition of Seesmic by Hootsuite. The AIR package (i.e. the binary itself) was up for a while, but even that's gone now. I'm the maintainer atm. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/seesmic-desktop/

The maintainer's email bounces, and acroread even has a solution in the comments. I would like to fix them up, if that's possible. Thanks in advance. - luolimao
[aur-general] Orphan request [May 25]
My email regarding [1] hasn't got a maintainer response in 2 weeks, and emails to [2], [3], and [4] (same maintainer) result in the email bouncing.

[aur-general] Orphan request: tigcc
This is an orphan request for tigcc [1]. It doesn't build on x86_64, currently, and it uses $pkgdir from within the build() function (which would make it problematic even on i686 users' PCs). The maintainer's email bounced, but I waited about a month since my comment on the package for an update. So far, nothing. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tigcc/
[aur-general] Delete request
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dropbox-daemon/ The systemctl file is already part of the dropbox package itself, so this package is redundant. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brackets-git/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brackets-shell-git/ These were packages I uploaded by mistake, but I never got around to posting a delete request here. They were and are currently empty PKGBUILDs.

Packages version were generated from the date (eg 20130401) and thus will probably be bigger than new versions from the tags (eg 0.3.1.32.gfb4117d). Thus an epoch increase should be needed to have a correct behavior. But it seems most packagers are not increasing the epoch as they are switching to this new versionning scheme. Is there a recommendation on this? -- Cédric Girard Yes, the correct thing to do would be bumping epoch for every new release of the PKGBUILD. I think you mean it just needs to be bumped this once, since the tag versions are going to be increasing from here onward... (unless, of course, the pkgver() function is changed in a way that this is not true).

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? ~Kyle http://kyle.tk/ I don't think pacman can take care of that atm; I've had this kind of problem myself in the recent past (2 months or so ago, although I can't remember the name of the package(s)) -Limao Luo

[aur-general] orphan request: mycraft
There's a package in the AUR called mycraft [1] that currently doesn't follow AUR guidelines, specifically the guideline about not putting stuff in the source package that can be downloaded from an outside source. Among the files in the source package is a png file that can be simply extracted from a jar file that is among the sources. Originally the jar was in the source package. After I notified the maintainer (makz) about 5 weeks ago about the jar and png, and included instructions based on my feedthebeast [2] package on how to extract the png, makz uploaded a new version with only the jar located externally; however, the png is still needlessly in the source package. makz last uploaded the PKGBUILD on Feb 13, and I emailed them a second time a couple days later with no response.

Just a small note, pkgrel is the arch specific release number of a
package's specific version, so you shouldn't use it in the source URL.
What you currently have in the pkgrel (2) actually belong in pkgver
(0.50-2)
You can't use hyphens in the pkgver; makepkg won't accept it as valid.

The tip from the Arch wiki:

different ...
Should I reflect the changes (the quotes) at least there?
What about using --depth=1 when doing git clone from the remote repo?
Since you're not manipulating past commits or non-master branches,
that's fine for this package, yes.
And why did you remove the '()' around
cd ${_gitname} git pull origin
A makepkg function is a normal shellscript, isn't it?
Yes, absolutely.
If it is, the following lines will be executed inside ${_gitname} and
that is not what I want -- maybe I'm wrong.
No, you're right; the PKGBUILD-git.proto uses
rm -rf $srcdir/$_gitname-build
git clone $srcdir/$_gitname $srcdir/$_gitname-build
cd $srcdir/$_gitname-build
which doesn't use relative paths; however, since your PKGBUILD does use
relative paths, removing the parentheses will cause it to not build when
the .git dir already exists.
Thank you for your help

But, what to do with the stable package? * use fixed revision to not get unwanted/unreviewed commits? * variation: fork the repo, tag the current version and then use this? * use last tagged version and patch the incompatibility? * variation: fork the repo, cherry pick only the 8.6 fix, tag and use this? The upstream looks dead (inactive for 9 months, and no material commits for even longer), so I would suggest that last variation (fork, cherry pick fix, tag, release). Thank you Uwe

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.

Actually, tried to build it again, and the old error (about Qt3 missing) showed up again; strange, since I managed to build it several times in a row just 15 minutes earlier. Well anyway, the project hasn't been updated since 2008, and, looking at the project, all it does is display ASCII .nfo files without garbling the ASCII art; it can be replaced by something as simple as cat.

Re: [aur-general] Merge request (limbo and limbo_wine)
The limbo_wine PKGBUILD has been uploaded has been uploaded with the name limbo, so I believe it's fine to merge limbo_wine into limbo now.
Re: [aur-general] Merge request (limbo and limbo_wine)
Now you just need to have the limbo_wine maintainer (mirandir) change pkgname=limbo_wine to pkgname=limbo and reupload, and the TU's can merge limbo_wine into limbo afterwards.
Re: [aur-general] Merge request (limbo and limbo_wine)
Sorry, but I don't really see the issue; if you actually examine the PKGBUILDS, the limbo_wine has essentially the same sources, but is a bit more comprehensive. Also, AFAIK, there is no native linux version, only Mac and Windows ones, as evidenced by the official site [3]. Therefore, the only way the game can run is by using Wine, as of now.

Re: [aur-general] Delete request
Regarding [2], that's my bad; there was a fontconfig-cleartype package in the recent past. In fact, since I haven't run 'aur' in a few days, the PKGBUILD is still in my /var/aur. However, it is now fontconfig-ubuntu [4], since the text is almost identical (see diff [5]). As for [3], I've posted a comment.

Re: [aur-general] unicon packages orphaned and broken.
Tried to fix it myself, and didn't get too far. I fixed minor things, like dependencies and such (in both versions), and uploaded; however, I don't know how to get it to build properly. Orphaning.
[aur-general] Delete request
I am requesting gtk-engine-pixbuf [1], fontconfig-cleratype (sic) [2], and thunar-thumbnailers [3] for deletion. The feature that [1] provides has been added to the gtk-engine itself and therefor is obsolete. [2] is a misspelling of fontconfig-cleartype, which is well-maintained as of now. [3] has been superceded by extra/tumbler, and the project itself hasn't been updated in over a year.

[aur-general] Merge request
Please merge bin32-amazonmp3 [1] into amazonmp3 [2]. Also, I'm not sure of the usefulness of [2], even considering that Amazon isn't releasing any new versions, and community/clamz replaces the functionality of this package, so delete [2] too if it makes sense.

Re: [aur-general] Some advice requested
1. You don't need to worry about pkgconfig; it's part of a package called core/pkg-config, which is part of [base-devel], which anyone using the AUR should have installed. 2. Here's [1] a slightly fixed example PKGBUILD; you would still have to somehow deal with the compilation problems, but at least this script doesn't prompt you for the editor (due to the --no-edit flag). Also, just remember to quote all your $pkgdir and $srcdir vars. [1] https://gist.github.com/3895860
[aur-general] Merge request
Can someone please merge fluxstyle-svn [1] into fluxstyle-git [2]? [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15303 [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=63559
[aur-general] Deletion/Merge Request
A list of packages for deletion: blender-beta: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39507 Beta version hasn't been released in over a year, because only stable releases are packaged now. zsh-bumblebee: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=56249 This package's completion file has been added to zsh-completions [1], so this is obsolete. twittero-hg: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33636 Source files don't even exist. The repo has been emptied for whatever reason and there hasn't been a release in over 2 years anyway. gimp-id-photo: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51658 Superceded by gimp-plugin-id-photo [2]. nspluginwrapper-flash-prerelease: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32081 Since Adobe isn't releasing new versions of Flash on Linux (besides security updates), nspluginwrapper [3] and flashplugin [4] do the job just fine. There's no use for an out-of-date prerelease version. nativeclient: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34579 Superceded by nativeclient-sdk [5]. __ Also, can someone please merge nyancat [6] into nyancat-git [7]? __ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=54111 [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51655 [3] http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=q=nspluginwrappermaintainer=last_update=flagged=limit=50 [4] http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=q=flashpluginmaintainer=last_update=flagged=limit=50 [5] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40557 [6] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=55279 [7] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=63496
Re: [aur-general] psad package probably orphaned
Only thing that would be convenient is post a link to the package(s) you're talking about, using footnotes, like this [1]; the TU's are busy, as I've heard, and it would be inconvenient for them to hunt down link to every single package. Also, you didn't have to wait so long to email the maintainer. Regardless, you haven't made any mess; welcome to the mailing list! ;) [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33800
[aur-general] Random (?) out-of-date marking
My package mcobj [1] has been repeatedly been marked out of date 580 times in 10 minutes, with 61 out-of-date marks per minute (picture for proof [2]). Checking through the email, I saw that the user that was doing this was named invented [3]. I'm not really sure what's going on, particularly whether this is malicious or not. I have emailed invented, and am posting this to try to get to the bottom of this. Has invented (or have other users) done this before?

Re: [aur-general] What happened to mnogosearch?
Updated to 3.3.12 and uploaded; you can install from the AUR now.
[aur-general] Deletion request: anything-sync-daemon-systemd
anything-sync-daemon-systemd [1] duplicates functionality from the original anything-sync-daemon [2] package (i.e. the systemd script is now included). [1] is therefore obsolete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=60949 [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58263
