Re: [aur-general] Need help updating nbd package
Don't use $startdir in ur PKGBUILDS and well u can try leaving a comment then email him, then if no answer after so long then u can ask TU to orphan the pkg so u could adopt it and upload it Peter Simons wrote: Hi, the nbd package at AUR, http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9691, has been out-of-date for quite a while.

Re: [aur-general] Need help updating nbd package
Just make the subject like Please orphan PKGNAME and in the body explain that u tried to contact the author and no response, then they will probably orphan it for you :-) Peter Simons wrote: Hi Nathan, Well u can try leaving a comment then email him, then if no answer after so long then u can ask TU to orphan the pkg so u could adopt it and upload it. I did leave a message on AUR long ago and I also e-mailed the original author. Unfortunately, I got no response so far. So, I wonder how exactly do I ask TU to orphan the package? My assumption was that I could accomplish that by posting to this very list? Take care, Peter

[aur-general] TU Application
Well my name is Nathan Owe. I am applying to be a TU, a person with the username Ghost1227 looked at some of my pkgs i have made, and he made suggestions on what i should do to improve my PKGBUILDs. well i downloaded all my packages and fixed them according to his suggestions. I do believe my packages do conform to the guidelines. The reason for applying for TU is because i love arch linux and i want to contribute back to this great OS. I love that i can contribute the way i am now, but i want to try and contribute to the development of AUR more by trying to help others as well. I have currently over 60 nearly 70 pkgs and still counting. I currently don't have a sponsor. I usually am signed into the IRC channel but usually don't talk much due to working on packages to contribute. my nickname is ndowens on both IRC and AUR.

Hi Nathan, I'm not longer a Trusted User so I do not get a vote in this anymore, but knowing how this works I would suggest that your application is coming too soon. In the past month, you have been asking for a lot of help doing what I consider fairly easy packaging. This is not saying that asking for help is a bad thing, but rather I think that you need more time to learn packaging techniques and get used to fixing problem situations. When you maintain packages in the [community] repo as a Trusted User, you are expected to be able to deal with breakages that occur. These are somewhat frequent in a rolling release distribution as updating a package that is in the dependency chain of one of your packages can cause your package to stop working properly. The TUs need to be confident that you will be able to handle such breakages (whether they need a patch or a simple sed line). I encourage you to continue learning the packaging system and try to become a TU at a later date. Most TUs had been packaging for half a year by the time of their application. Remember, there is a lot you can contribute to Arch without being a TU. In fact, the only thing TUs can do that you can not is put binary packages into the [community] repo. I'd suggest looking for bugs on the bug tracker and seeing if you can replicate the problem, try to fix it and post the fixed PKGBUILD to the bug tracker if you can. That teaches you how to deal with problems while proving your ability to become a Trusted User. Also remember that it is not the number of packages you maintain, but the quality of those packages. So try to help out in irc or the forums rather then taking another package just because you can. Packaging only software you are genuinely interested in helps keep the motivation going. Cheers, Allan K, thanks for the nice msg and not being smart-a$$ to me. I figured it may be too early but i figure'd i'd atleast try

A couple of comments: 1) do not use specific sourceforge mirrors; use downloads.sourceforge.net instead (e.g. pidgin-festival) 2) you should use srcdir/pkgdir instead of startdir/ but I notice some PKGBUILDs do this so maybe it is is transition thing. 3) you can use install -Dm instead of install -d followed by install -m Other than that, you PKGBUILDs all look fine. I didn't notice anything very complicated in my quick skim through (no patching etc). Good luck, Allan yea all the pkgs that i do dont need patches

It really depends. Make sure you learn most he packaging tricks and
contribute to AUR. Once you are confident you know most tricks in the
book and you think we are also confident you did, get in contact with
one of the current TUs and ask them to sponsor you.
Alternatively you may ask one at some point what they think you should
improve before you apply to increase your chances.

how can i fix this
thanks
nm i think i found my mistake maybe
nope still wants to install the docs to a non standard dir. and i
seen the mandir={$pkgdir} instead of pkgname
so how do i tell it where to install the docs at

build() {
cd $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver-UNIX
./configure --prefix=/usr
make || return 1
make DESTDIR=$pkgdir/ install

when i try to do makepkg -s it gives

It looks like that package does not support the DESTDIR arguement.
You will need to look at the makefile to see what it does do...
Allan

install the man pages to /usr/share/man but i do
mandir=${pkgdir}/usr/share/man after the make command and it still dont
want to install in the correct dir
