I don't understand your sentence. Is there something missing in -bin
that you need?

Even if it's more plesant to talk to people who don't hide their
identities, I agree with Xyne and Thomas.

The relationships we build together by sharing, packaging, hacking is
a higher level of trust that a real identity or a 5 minutes meeting in
a café.

I'm wondering, reading this thread, why packages signing, which is a
wonderful technical way to be sure that someone who claims doing a
package is really him, become, a way to ask to developer or tu to
prove their _real_ identities.

[aur-general] TU Application - Sébastien Luttringer

[Seblu]

Hello,

I'm applying to be a TU. My sponsor is Dave Reisner.

As you may remember, I already applied 10 months ago [1]. Since that
time, my motivation is still the same and i had time to be more
involved in the community,
participating in development of initscripts[2], mkinitcpio[3],
pacman[4]. You can find my working tree on github [7].

I currently maintaining 40 packages in AUR, with a total of 5708 votes
[8]. 12 of them have been created by me.
You can find pre-version of most PKGBUILD i maintain in my svn [6].

For my own needs i setup binary repositories [5] with packages i use
on my computers.
I'm currently working on an AUR build bot which i will use to
automatically build some packages from AUR (which i trust) and push it
inside a dedicated repository. It will be released in opensource.
After that, i will propose an implementation of a better handling of
vcs packages in makepkg.

If you let me join the TU team, i would add some of "my" AUR packages
to community (list not exhaustive):
- cpupower
- perf
- ebtables
- ferm
- nload
- vconfig
- ipset
- sfk
- ext4magic
- kerneltop
- linux-kvm (if linus merge it in 3.2)

I would also move package i use every days to community like (list not
exhaustive):
- arptables
- atftp
- cfv
- conntrack-tools
- lantencytop
- sshpass
- picocom
- lsscsi
- libmnl (needed by ipset)
- rxvt

Unfortunatly i doesn't use orphan packages [9] so i don't think adopt orphans.

Thanks,

"no longer maintained" is not a good reason to remove it. Lot of
software are not maintained and they are still useful.
As long as they are not broken.

[aur-general] Merge of virtualbox_bin into virtualbox-bin

Hello,

Can you merge virtualbox_bin into virtualbox-bin ?

The reason are those requested by josephgbr in
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9753


The reason I'm asking this is that every time I update my packages
with "yaourt -Syua", the package "virtualbox-ext-oracle" is listed
first than this package ('-' come first than '_') and I always have to
reinstall again after virtualbox_bin in order to work.

Thanks in advance.

kvm native tool is a candidate to replace, or be an alternative to qemu-kvm.

It should be merged in linux 3.1 is /tools directory (as you can read

This doesn't give more features. Arch doesn't start (like some others
distro) daemons automatically after install, so there is only size of
package difference.

To install it, we need to download package tarball + ntp tarball (1,2K
+ 4,2 M).

AUR is not a space where everybody can do what they wants. There is
rules, TUs and community are here to keep it as clean as possible.

This is not the point. I needs cairo-xcb which enable xcb support in
cairo (from repo)  to use awesome. Those cases seems to have sense to
be in AUR.

I don't see from what this package is different from extra one. If
it's a duplication, there is no need to maintain it twice. That's my
point.

Renaming is not necessary, unless we want to make a package for

[aur-general] bluez and udev

[Seblu]

Hello,

It was a few things I could not explain with bluez and udev.

When my system start killswitch off and i toggle killswitch after,
bluetoothd is auto started.
When my system starts with killswitch on, bluetoothd is not started.
(a bit confusing)

After adding hooks in rc, bluetoothd refuse to start at boot because
it needs dbus!
If I searched on google before trying to debug I saved a few hours:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=112161

So, this situation is a bit confusing, so why do not remove
/lib/udev/rules.d/97-bluetooth.rules?
>From my test bluetoothd, doesn't kill itself when it's run by
/etc/rc.d/bluetooth.

[aur-general] Introduce kernel26-tools

[Seblu]

Dear Arch Users/Dev/TUs,

I read some times ago on this mailing list words about shortly
introducing new cool packages. I'm starting.

>From some times now, I discovered the power of a kernel embeded tools
named perf, which is really useful to get information about your
kernel performances and hunt performances issues.
Something really awesome is to see perf of a guest kvm kernel inside
the host kvm.

Famous mode you can test are:
perf top
perf bench
perf record
perf kvm

A link :https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page#Perf_tools

I push a PKGBUILD into AUR to easily install this tool from kernel
sources: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=46188.
Name of the package come from debian
(http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/linux-tools-2.6.32)

I speak about this link previouly. But this bug does not inspire me confidence.
It is mainly based on the fact "Upstream is not unmaintained". And
this is not obvious.

Debian include awesome 3.4 in their distro. It does not seem to be
stupid to understand this choice!
As well as to understand why redhat do not.

Crawling arch bugtracker is not really revelent of this.
I don't find many bugs around this issue (maybe not detected as corollary).
RedHat bug is not really accurate.

I also use cairo-xcb from aur everyday and i don't see issues.

Sure! This is to avoid.

Upstream speak about experimental feature, not unsupported (see README).
By our bleeding edge point of view, we enable a lot of experimental
feature (in particular in linux kernel).
Experimental "tag" is not always a synonym of unstable (or unsuported)
but more like really Bleeding edge.

> - it is generally a bad idea to support something which is encouraged
> not to by upstream
I agree. But i'm wondering why debian include it by default in next
release (squeeze)
http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/cairo.git;a=blob;f=debian/rules;h=9270f7e33e8c15510e2c74d4c73a65b886d802dd;hb=HEAD

I see in configure, they include --enable-xlib and --enable-xcb.
_Maybe_ we can enable the two to have the best of both worlds.
This need more investigation.

I was not clear.

I just wanted to support your example and suggest to Allan that it
will be better that Pacman do this job, even if, cost is important.
IMHO, it's better than pacman take some seconds more to check complex
dependency, rather than maintenairs do it manually, based on their
time based knownledge of depencies. Pacman is also less subject to
human error.

With our modern computer, I do not see why the calculation of the
dependency graph take more than few seconds

And this check is done by a software not by a "scientist" predicate
that varies depending on the experience of maintainer.

In my opinion mtr-cli _is_ like emacs-nox. it drops X (gtk) support,
to a tool which is more used in a term on host without X.
But question is about popularity. Emacs and mtr are not comparable.
The point that I defend is : mtr-cli is an important network tools
which should be used without X.

Yes great. I'm not paid by package i maintain.
Do not misunderstand my intentions, this package is more often used
without gtk (subjective).
It's a really useful package for debugging network issues and got it
in a server is a plus.
Server => no gtk => no user repository packages. This was my reasoning.

But my plan was to propose to maintainer to maintain it in community.
If he don't have time, propose my services. If he don't want, never
mind.

My bad, opera is in community now :)

mtr package is in community, not mtr-tiny, which is a version of mtr
without gtk (and its dependency)

About awesome and cairo-xcb, i hope Jan, will accept to add
--enable-xcb in configure in cairo extra package to enable xcb
support.

There may be reasons to include or not these packages that I did not
see. In this case I would abstain.

[aur-general] TU Application - Seblu

[Seblu]

Hello,

Tonight I decided to propose me as TU.  My sponsor is Peter Lewis.

My name is Sebastien Lutttringer, i'm a 26 years old french system and
network engineer who lives in Paris.
I'm gradued from EPITA a french computer school and i work in a
private company for 4 years.

My day to day job is done on Linux Debian and 99% of our servers are
on Debian. We work mainly with open technologies and we love
challenges with technology that we control/understand.

As far as i recall, my first meet with linux, was in 2001/2002 (i
don't remember exactly)
with slackware and later with debian woody, it was just some test (not
my main system)
In 2005, i choose my grad school, in another for its hard Unix spirit.
I wanted to become a unix power user. So, 2005 was my switching year
to linux.
I tested some distro and i choose debian as desktop station. In 2007,
i changed my main distro to gentoo until 2010 (and my new laptop)
where i switched to Arch.

I never really took the time to get involved to my distro and since a
long time i
want it. Arch philosophy and simplicity, remember me slackware and
makes me want to take the plunge.

Regarding my skills I use a lot of linux technology in my work to
design solutions to our problems (network operator, file transfer
platform, streaming/cdn) or to maintain our critical systems.
I also have skill in coding in C/C++, Python, Perl, lua, php, shell
and some others.

Regarding to arch, i maintain packages in AUR and fill bug report. I
also plan to propose some patch in some times.

As a TU, i would start by maintaining packages i use and which are not
in community. To start i think to:
arptables
awesome
conntrack-tools
ebtables
ferm
fstrim
lsscsi
mtr-cli
nload
opera
scsiadd
ulogd
vconfig

After, I hope have enough time to more contribute to the distro and
perhaps become a dev. Maybe working on pacman i've some ideas of
improvment.

Yes but he does not like it.
And this is not a pretty way, because makepkg download will just fail
rather than showing a message to ask a manual download.
So i think a better way is to not mark the file in source var, and
doing checking by hand and ask to download if not present.

But in this PKGBUILD, he uses source var to make checking. And on AUR
zip file is not uploaded. So i'm wondering if they are an option or he
deleting file manually.

do you have a trick to tell to "makepkg --source" to not include in
src package the file which should be download manually?
or you remove it from the tarball manually before uploading to AUR?

Ok my bad. I don't see it was a local link...

By trying to update this package i discovered that we need an oracle
account and accept a license to be able to download the Zip files
needed to installation.
I don't believe this is simply scriptable in a PKGBUILD. So, we can:
1 - Delete the package
2 - Update the package and asking to user which want to build package
to manually download zip files from oracle.com

What would you prefer?

Currently yes.

You have not understand what i  said. Maybe i was not clear.

my rc, only follow kernel mainline when it's tagged as a releasae
candidate. So my kernel will never have a 2.6.37 version for example.
Mailine will.
