Etoile - An updated PKGBUILD

Currently AUR has no support for PKGBUILDs which have split packages and since Etoile is a modular desktop environment I have no intention to build it as a whole I would like to paste it here with the corresponding patches (I don't have free webspace and I'm not using Arch Linux anymore). Please use it, modify it and adapt it for the trunk release, because one of the core developers said they will move to a "rolling-release" like model and stable will be abandoned for uncertain period.
- EDIT -
Here you can download the tarball which has the PKGBUILD and the corresponding patches

AMule 2.2.1 - updated PKGBUILD

Hello,
As i couldnt see any new package in both extra and testing repos (the one is in extra is a bit older.), i've made my own aMule 2.2.1 package. It doesnt need wx patch anymore, here's simple PKGBUILD (based on contributors package)
What's new with 2.2 series?
* Protocol Obfuscation
* UPnP support
* Network protocol updated to eMule 0.49a (including large file support)
* Kad 2.0
* Improved skin support and country flags
* Support for compilation with MS Visual Studio -> WOW!

Updated PKGBUILD for vmware-server-modules 2.0.2

Hi.
I have updated the PKGBUILD for the vmware-server-modules and added patches for kernel 2.6.35 and 2.6.36.
The package is currently marked as an orphan, so I'll have to adopt it do upload the changes, right?
Could someone please take a look at this, and say if it is good enough.
I haven't really made any changes other than adding patches for kernel 2.6.35 and 2.6.36, but since there are some 'not so positive comments' following this package in AUR maybe there is more that should be done?
It works on my x86_64 2.6.36-arch install.

Help updating PKGBUILD for gnofract4d?

I wonder if anybody would be prepared to take a look at this orphaned AUR package. I've posted a comment on the package's page at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnofract4d/.
Basically, I managed to get the latest version of the package to build just by changing the checksums and adjusting the version but I would like to get the documentation to compile as well. Not only can I not get this to happen using the PKGBUILD, but I am getting a segfault attempting to compile the documentation manually using the createdocs.py script in the source tree. I don't know much about conversion of .xml to .html but I think I am missing some package(s) I would need for this to work though I cannot figure out which. However, there is a prior problem which is that the python code for generating the generated .xml documentation segfaults while (I think) creating the second document. So I end up with one file with a bunch of stuff and one empty file.
I've posted the error I'm running into along with the changes I made to the PKGBUILD script (just in case or if anybody wants it).
This is by far the best fractal generating programme I've found on Linux and better than anything I found for OS X so I would really like to get the documentation for this working if possible. I'm confused because it is complaining about a lack of display but I can't see why it should want a display just to generate docs.

This might be a docbook question. I tried reading https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Docbook and checked that I have all the packages listed installed. However, that article is only a stub. Can anybody recommend a slightly more comprehensive, but straightforward (i.e. intelligible to the non-initiates), introduction?

You should look in /etc/makepkg.conf (and ~/.makepkg.conf) and take into account $BUILDDIR instead of assuming src/ and pkg/.
For example, my $BUILDDIR in ~/.makepkg.conf points to a path in /mnt that is a RAID-10 array of SSD's.
Great suggestion, I will look at it. Thanks

[solved] Small changes to abs PKGBUILDs and maintenance/updating

Hi!
Somehow I manage to hoard packages that require intervention on updates. Small things, like p.e. adding a flag to have cups build without the need for avahi or midori (if I rememer tight that one was libsoup) without gconf... or just an own mozconfig for firefox. Nothing that really requires too much thinking/knowing/decision-making - at least to apply the changes to updated PKGBUILDs.
Now what's the best way to maintain that and is there already a good script or something to do it?
Something like p.e.:
- Have a folder with PKGBUILD patches (like "insert additional build flag")
- If folder for package exists, build from ABS as soon as new abs version exists, apply patch to PKBUILD before that & notify if it fails with the updated PKBUILD (something like just adding the -disable_whatever flag shouldn't require much intervention, should it?)
- If no folder, take pacman package as soon as soon as ABS is updated (are there lots problems with them not being in sync?)
Well, but that's just an example... how do you do it? How do you let yourself get informed about repo updates of package you have installed as local slightly modified version? How do you reapply small / medium / big changes to the updated original PKGBUILDs? And slightly related: Do you think it makes sense to provide & request AUR packages that are only slightly different from the original ABS ones (like one line / one configure flag...) or would that just lead to way to many AUR entries that are only used by 1-2 people?
thx...

Thanks!
That doesn't really do everything I had in mind, but as it's bash and I can spend hours screaming at single lines of bash that don't work after I changed/typed them, it should keep me occupied until I either give up, break something or get it to do what I want...
Still: If anyone knows something like it that maybe has support for AUR and/or makes it easier to keep patches / custom files (like mozconfig) in the "private ABS tree" for automatic updating / building, just point me into the direction!

[UPDATED] MLDonkey 2.6.2 PKGBUILD

I have created a MLDonkey 2.5.28 PKGBUILD. This has a script wich starts, stops or restarts MLDonkey creating configuration files in ~/.mldonkey. With this script you can runs mldonkey with many users and if you stop mldonkey, only the mldonkey session of users will be stopped. You must do:
$ mldonkey {start|stop|restart}
... for diferents options. This MLDonkey hasn't GUI, If you want one with GUI tell me, but there are better GUI like KMLDonkey, Sancho...

First Time Making PKGBUILD: xhotkeys

I wanted to try out a keybinding program called xhotkeys (I like to look aroudn for alternative programs constantly, and noticed that xbindkeys has quite a few dependencies), but when I went to install it from the AUR, it gave me some errors. (Namely, that /usr/share/applications and /usr/share/pixmaps existed.) After checking out the AUR website itself, I discovered that someone had posted that the project page had moved from what the existing PKGBUILD pointed to. So I figured that I had a chance to try to learn how to make PKGBUILDS. I cobbled this together, basing it on the sample PKGBUILD-python:
# Contributor: [email protected]
pkgname=xhotkeys
pkgver=0.1.2
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A simple and easily configurable hotkey launcher in pygtk"
url="http://code.google.com/p/xhotkeys/"
depends=('python2' 'python-xlib' 'python-configobj')
optdepends=('kiwi: xhotkeys-gui support')
arch=('any')
license=('GPL')
source=(http://xhotkeys.googlecode.com/files/xhotkeys-$pkgver.tgz)
epoch=1
md5sums=('edaeb79453ed4e9abc4bf0a60de183f8')
package() {
cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"
python2 setup.py install --root="$pkgdir/" --optimize=1
# vim:set ts=2 sw=2 et:
It works, and I'm using it right now. I just wanted to check if I was doing anything glaringly wrong. I went through the Arch Packaging Standards at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … _Standards, and I think it adheres. I ran the install.py script with --record to check that it didn't install to /usr/local.
The package comes with two parts: xbindkeysd, which only uses the python-xlib and python-configobj packages, and xbindkeys-gui, which uses the kiwi package as well. I wasn't sure how that was usually handled, in depends or in optdepends.
Also, a maintainer currently exists for the original website, http://www.nongnu.org/xhotkeys/. Should I be renaming the package? It's a newer version, but I think it's essentially the same program. Or should I contact the original maintainer? Or should I just not bother with uploading the PKGBUILD?
Thanks for any help. Sorry if I sound like a moron.
EDIT: changed contributor email.
EDIT: PKGBUILD.

You don't need
makedepends=('make')
as that is part of group base-devel and AUR users are expected to have that.
Googlecode xhotkeys page says the nongnu one is older. You should try contacting the AUR maintainer and if he fails to respond, ask on the AUR ml to orphan the package so you can upload an updated PKGBUILD.
Edit: Since this is a python 2 package you should add python2 to depends and change
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
to
arch=('any')

Sugestion for next update of AUR

Hello!
I have an idea in my mind. and my sugestion is:
For example when we send a package that already has an owner in AUR, we could not send because only the owner of the package can update the package with the same name as the one that you want to send.
However if the owner of the package does not update package, does not respond to the comments and requests to update the package would be the idea that users were able to send the package even if you are not an owner.
the page where are the package would be a link called "other versions of the package" that would link a page where are the other versions sent by non-owners of the source package, thus forming a ranking of sources of packages with the same name where the package most votes would be the official source package elected by the official owner of the package in AUR and users who liked the other version of the package.
If the yaourt there support ranking of sources, it would work like this:
"yaourt -S repacman-1"
being that "-1" would the reference to package with more votes of ranking of the package: "repacman". and that is in first place of the packages with more votes.
That would relieve the user from dealing with outdated sources where other versions come with problems solved to compilation and function.
Good, excuse me by my bad English and I hope that I have managed to interpret me clearly about what I want you to understand about my idea!
thank you!.

yaourt is not an official tool for the AUR (I would recommend just not using it. Ever).
If the owner does not update package, respond to comments, or respond to emails, then request a disown on aur-general. Having multiple versions of a PKGBUILD is just bloat.
'Relieving' users from dealing with outdated sources is a lousy motivation, Arch users should know how to increment pkgver appropriately anyway.
Currently you can already post an updated PKGBUILD in the comments (many do), so adding more complexity (and bugs) to the AUR is unnecessary.

Using Gentoo's etc-update to merge /etc/*.pacnew

Hi all,
Having looked through the Arch wiki for utilities to help merge *.pacnew files after an upgrade, I found that none of the utilities did what I was after. They were either GUI based, required learning some new editor I would not use for anything else, or just plain didn't work.
Since I found Gentoo's etc-update CLI utility excellent for this sort of thing, I decided to port it from Gentoo to Arch. This was fairly straightforward given the lack of dependencies, so it is now available in the AUR.
I like it because it has few dependencies, you can view diffs of the changes and interactively merge some hunks and not others, edit files using your preferred $EDITOR before merging and generally get files exactly the way you want before committing the changes to /etc.
If you've never used Gentoo you might find it takes a little while to get the hang of, but I think many people coming from Gentoo will like having it available. Old habits die hard, and all that :-)

am i missing something? I have diffutils installed

Problems writing a PKGBUILD script for scizzor

I wanted to make a package of scizzor (for bmp) ( http://scizzor.sourceforge.net )
But i have kind a problem with the install process.
In my opinion the install.pl script sucks hard.. now i have a problem.
The library generated during the make process should be placed in ~/.bmp/Plugins
Now i don't now how to write this in the PKGBUILD script.
Here my PKGBUILD so far:
pkgname=scizzor
pkgver=1.3.3
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Beep Media Player and XMMS effect plugin for pitchspeed control."
url="http://scizzor.sourceforge.net"
depends=('bmp')
conflicts=()
source=(http://belnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/$pkgname/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('f9c56fb0640e0e825c922472e5799be9')
build() {
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
make bmp || return 1
# here the problem start
Perhaps someone has an idea...
I hope someone will understand my problem.. my english is not the best
greets

You should be able to replace the mkdirs and cp with:

See the install manpage. See "mkdir -p" too.
Hi,
thank you
I am totally new to this package creating business :-)
Here the updated PKGBUILD script...
btw: Can i somehow change the package i had put on ftp.archlinux.org/incoming?

Patch to update Jython to 2.5.1

Installed Jython today and noticed it was woefully out-of-date. It is in community and without a maintainer. I have here a PKGBUILD that seems to work fine in my limited testing:
# $Id: PKGBUILD 82 2009-07-17 19:56:55Z aaron $
# Maintainer: Geoffroy Carrier <[email protected]>
# Contributor: Richard Murri <[email protected]>
pkgname=jython
pkgver=2.5.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="An implementation of the Python language written in Java"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://www.jython.org/"
license=('python', 'apache', 'unknown')
depends=('java-runtime')
source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/$pkgname/${pkgname}_installer-${pkgver}.jar)
build() {
cd "$srcdir"
java -jar ${pkgname}_installer-${pkgver}.jar -s -t standard -d "$pkgdir"/opt/jython
sed -i s*"${pkgdir}"**g "${pkgdir}"/opt/jython/jython
sed -i 's#/opt/java/jre/bin/java#java#g' "${pkgdir}"/opt/jython/jython
md5sums=('2ee978eff4306b23753b3fe9d7af5b37')
I wasn't quite sure what I should do with this, since [community] things aren't supposed to go in flyspray, right?
If this package gets bumped out of [community] and back into the AUR, I'd be glad to maintain it.

Mail sent.
Is there anything that actually gets compiled during the installation? If there isn't, maybe arch=('i686' 'x86_64') could be replaced with arch=('any').
It just unarchives the .jar file, and then seds a bit. I think 'any' would work.
Thanks for posting the patch. It might be simpler though to just post the updated PKGBUILD considering how small it is.
Right you are. I've updated the original post.
If someone knows of a more robust way to test Jython, other than just running some code through it, I'd appreciate knowing it.

Gnuplot 4.2 PKGBUILD

Hello everyone,
as there was no update of the gnuplot PKGBUILD lately, I have written my own one, inspired by the old one and by the (outdated) gnuplot-cvs PKGBUILD from AUR. This is it:
# $Id$
# Maintainer:
# Contributor: Niklas Volbers <[email protected]>
pkgname=gnuplot
pkgver=4.2.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Command-line driven interactive data and function plotting utility"
url="http://www.gnuplot.info"
depends=('gd>=2.0.29' 'libpng' 'libx11' 'wxgtk')
makedepends=('texinfo')
source=(http://download.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/$pkgname/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=(f688a578ddb4c376fd7d91ce444a0745)
build() {
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--libexecdir=/usr/bin \
--datadir=/usr/share \
--with-readline=gnu \
--enable-history-file \
--with-x
make || return 1
make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg \
libexecdir=/usr/bin \
pkglibexecdir=/usr/bin \
datadir=/usr/share install
install -D $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver/Copyright $startdir/pkg/usr/share/licenses/custom/gnuplot/Copyright
I am not sure if the wxwidget terminal should be included by default. If so, then I guess I can remove the libx11 dependency.
The corresponding file tree looks like this:

Cherrypy needs an update for Python 3.3

Hi,
I was going to file a bug report but since cherrypy is in Community and not Extra, I guess you can't do that?
Anyway I ran into this bug:
https://bitbucket.org/cherrypy/cherrypy … -python-33
Manually installing this version of it resolved the issue:
https://bitbucket.org/cherrypy/cherrypy … 2.3.tar.gz
Would be nice to get back to the pacman packaged version.
Just FYI.

edit: nevermind, I didn't see that cherrypy was in [community]. I found the variants in the AUR and thought it was an AUR package. Follow karol's advice above.
As for manual installation, that's almost always a bad idea on Arch. Just create/update the PKGBUILD yourself and install it with makepkg to avoid problems with package management. You can even submit the updated PKGBUILD to the maintainer.

Where is the GNUStep repository ?

Hi,
I want to install the latest version of etoile on my computer but I need the latest versions of the GNUStep libraries (that is the devloppemnt versions). I saw that there were an ArchLinux repository but the server seems unavaible.
So, I wonder is the repository moved or simply disapeared ... and what happened to the PKGBUILDs ? I don't really care about compiling GNUStep myself but I don't really want to recreate the PKGBUILDs if they already exists, partly because it takes time (to compile, fox and recompile ...) and these times I don't have much time.
Thanks.

I've gotten Etoile running fine. What I needed to do was create updated PKGBUILDs of the core GNUstep packages. There are a few other dependencies you'll need for Etoile that I've written PKGBUILDs for which you can find in AUR. You'll need onig, performance and sqlclient. I've created a PKGBUILD for Etoile itself but since it's not too useful yet and still considered unstable, I recommend installing and running it locally for your user only. Also, here's a screenshot of it showing that it does work in Arch: http://avarice.oneeightseven.org/images … inarch.png
So... this PKGBUILD, think you might be able to link it? I'd really like to give etoile a shot, but haven't had much luck compiling it.
Thanks,
aJ0
