Done, thanks! Eventually I did all of the above (a "replaces" field in the new package which seems to have no impact though, an echo output with the deprecation message, a deprecation message in the package description, a comment on the AUR page and an out of date notification with again a

Hi guys, thanks for your input! I tried to create a new xfce4-plugin-multiload-ng package and ran into the issue that the AUR's git repository ssh:// a...@aur.archlinux.org/xfce4-multiload-ng-plugin.git was not empty but had some outdated PKGBUILD in it. But it had no .SRCINFO file and (probably

Hi guys, I maintain the multiload-ng AUR packages, in particular xfce4-plugin-multiload-ng-gtk2 and xfce4-plugin-multiload-ng-gtk3. After the recent Xfce 4.16 update the gtk2 version stopped building, so I would like to delete xfce4-plugin-multiload-ng-gtk2 and somehow migrate the users to

I had the same issue with the `medit` package. It's an editor with some nice features, in particular, an integrated bash terminal. I have been pointed to the fact that pygtk is deprecated some months ago, but removing pygtk as dependency leads to the bash terminal functionality vanishing. I

Also, are you sure that the dependencies are actually dependencies, that is, are required on runtime? Say, pacman and git rather look like makedependencies. But of course, I might be completely wrong.

Re: [aur-general] Automatic package version

2018-10-26 Thread Michael Kogan
I would also mention that frequent version bumping is quite disturbing. Imho, git packages should not be updated by the package maintainer (unless there are some very significant changes involved) - this way every user can decide when to update while fresh installs will get the most recent git

Unfortunately, I don't know Go and in general have too little programming skills and experience to propose any code modifications. But I have an idea: What about introducing some variables which the package maintainers would put into their PKGBUILD and which are then parsed by aur-out-of-date? The

Very nice and useful! It works for me, though just a few of my PKGBUILDs are displaying status information. I am wondering, what about PKGBUILDs whose source is hosted at Launchpad or Sourceforge? Those are quite common hosters, are there plans to add them? Thanks! 2018-02-01 17:08 GMT+01:00
