Archfonts: Archlinux fonts index from ABS/AUR.

Hi guys,
I needed a "squared" font for some artwork, and couldn't find any font previews for any of the fonts on Arch. So I made this script to generate an html index from the ttf-packages. You can check the code here:
Web: http://ternstor.github.com/archfonts
Github: http://github.com/ternstor/archfonts
Links to the html indexes:
AUR: html, gzip.
ABS, Community: html, gzip.
ABS, Extra: html, gzip.
Thanks to the aur-git project that made this possible .

Very nice! Perhaps you could sort the list by name? And link each page to the corresponding ABS/AUR page?

How can I solve this problem?.
Regards.

Crap - sorry, I typed too quick, the upstream source if fine. But as that PKGBUILD does some odd things, I missed the problem. The simplest (but far from best) fix is to change the lines in the package function to the following:
svn co https://macbuntu.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/macbuntu/Macbuntu/fonts/ ./
install -d $pkgdir/usr/share/fonts/{TTF,Type1}
install -m644 ./Macbuntu/fonts/gbk/*.ttf $pkgdir/usr/share/fonts/TTF
install -m644 ./Macbuntu/fonts/mac/*.ttf $pkgdir/usr/share/fonts/TTF
install -m644 ./Macbuntu/fonts/mac/*.pfb $pkgdir/usr/share/fonts/Type1
That is, add the proper paths to the install commands.
EDIT: or here is one that is at least a lot closer to the right way - though it's the first svn PKGBUILD I've worked on:
_svn=ttf-mac-fonts
pkgname=${_svn}-svn

Trouble compiling games from ABS and AUR (solved)

Hi I hope someone can help me. Ive downloaded the tar.gz for drascula from ABS unzipped it and when I try to run makepkg -s I get the error that scummvm 0.12 not found in sync db. I installed the scummvm from ABS manually same error. I then saw it was version 0.11.1 so I uninstalled it and downloaded the correct version from sourceforge. I installed it with ./configure --prefix=/usr/local then make then install. It installed sucessfully as it runs fine but I still recieve the same error when running makepkg -s. What am I doing wrong?

Welcome to the forums.
Since you installed it manually, pacman doesn't know it's there. The best way to this would have been to edit the scummvm PKGBUILD then install it with pacman. Usually you just need to change the pkgver line to the new version and comment out the md5sums line.
It's always best to use packages in Arch. You'll forever be running into problems like this if you don't.

Better ABS/AUR support

Archlinux is a great disto & I use it for a long time.
Now I want to know if there is a standard tool like pacman about ABS/AUR.
I have tried yaourt and it works well.
Why archlinux not integrate abs/aur into pacman?
Or offer a simpler way that I can compile some key packages when install archlinux,for example, kernel26 with more security patches.
And it's hard to disguise what I installed from repo or abs.
And I find archlinux is too slim that I can't find some devel files. For example I have to grab glib-doc from aur, and recompile some packages from src manually to gain devel files.
Plus, can I restricted what to install,
I enable testing unable branch, I want to disable it temporarily when sync particular package

From http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_User_Guidelines
Users can share PKGBUILDs using the UNSUPPORTED area in the AUR. UNSUPPORTED does not contain any binary packages but allows users to upload PKGBUILDs that can be downloaded by others. A comments facility allows users to provide suggestions and feedback on improvements to the PKGBUILD contributor. A new flagging system allows TUs to mark pkgs as checked for malicious code. However, these PKGBUILDs are completely unofficial and have not been thoroughly vetted, so they should be used at your own risk.
Or offer a simpler way that I can compile some key packages when install archlinux,for example, kernel26 with more security patches.
What is wrong with abs + makepkg ?
And it's hard to disguise what I installed from repo or abs.
Try pacman -Qm. That will work for packages from aur, and packages from abs if you renamed them.
If you didnt rename them, but they have a different version, pacman -Su will warn you about it.
And I find archlinux is too slim that I can't find some devel files. For example I have to grab glib-doc from aur, and recompile some packages from src manually to gain devel files.
no idea what you mean here..
Plus, can I restricted what to install,
I enable testing unable branch, I want to disable it temporarily when sync particular package
packages in unstable repo have different names.
About testing repo, it's recommended to either use it totally, or not use it at all.
But well, you are always free to do what you want, you are on your own then

ABS - AUR

Is there any way to make ABS download all PKGBUILD-s from AUR with package-name directory trees?
it would be nice

No, it is not possible through ABS. But this will do what you want:

GNU screen shouldnt depend on libelf. Package in extra now doesnt.

Oh yeah, gpm isnt a dependency either.

At least for x86_64, libelf seems to be a dependency. Throws an error about libelf.so.0 when starting screen if it's not installed.
Comment by: Ranguvar on Sun, 11 Oct 2009 04:00:10 +0000
The three lines at the end of the install scriplet are unnecessary now and can cause problems apparently, please remove :)
Also, I cannot confirm libelf dependency, both by using ldd and trying removing libelf, so it should be kept out.

How to download a single file from abs cvs (community)?

As a little edit of soloport's ingenious script for downloading single packages/directories from ABS instead of downloading everything, this is absget.
#!/bin/bash
# Downloads a single package from CVS CURRENT (much like ABS)
# Requires one or two arguments, one which specifes the CVS path (e.g. kernels/kernel26)
# and the other who specifies the repository (defaults to "arch")
# Creates a local DIR, for example, where DIR=kernel26 in kernels/kernel26
if [ "$BASH_ARGC" ]; then
[ "$2" ] && REPOS="$2" || REPOS="arch"
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous:[email protected]:/home/cvs-$REPOS
DIR="$1"
declare -a ARY
declare -i NUM
ARY=( `echo $DIR | sed 's/// /g'` )
NUM=${#ARY[*]}-1
PKG=${ARY[$NUM]}
echo DIR="$DIR", PKG="$PKG", REPOS="$REPOS"
[ "$REPOS" = "arch" ] && cvs -z3 co -r CURRENT -d $PKG arch/build/$DIR
[ "$REPOS" = "extra" ] && cvs -z3 co -r CURRENT -d $PKG extra/$DIR
[ "$REPOS" = "unstable" ] && cvs -z3 co -r CURRENT -d $PKG unstable/$DIR
rm CVS CVSROOT -R 2>/dev/null
exit 0
else
echo "not enough arguments"
exit 1
fi
As you maybe can see, it's missing a line for community. Whenever I try to test this method with the community dir (/home/cvs-community) I get this error:
$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous:[email protected]:/home/cvs-community
$ cvs -z3 co .
no such user anonymous in CVSROOT/passwd
cvs seems to authenticate in a different way than cvsup does, I've tried for hours to get this working (even with the help of wireshark), but with no luck. Can anyone help?

How to record with "guvcview" from the AUR.

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Web … uvcview.29
In the Archwiki on the webcam page, it suggests GTK UVC Viewer from the AUR. I don't quite like cheese for video recording. I was excited after I played with the resolution and framerate and such in guvcview for the first time. I then was ready to start recording a test video. However, I can't find how to start/stop recording once I've started guvcview. I would appreciate knowing how to record video in it.

[Solved] Intro to ABS/AUR

Hi,
I was going through an article about a new browser UBZL. When I went to the website, it was talking about ABS/PKGBUILDS etc. I went through ABS wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beg … e_Appendix but it did not help much, does anyone have completely non-geeky decription of ABS/AUR/PKGBUILD.
I will be grateful for the simple explanation.

ABS is the name of the build system. AUR is an unofficial repo with user contributed PKGBUILDs (which you can compile yourself).
Now go back and read Shylock's post again.
So sand_man, ABS is just a system like pacman. In pacman, i download compiled packages and install whereas in ABS i use a PKGBUILD script to download source files and then install. Is it correct. If that is so, what about dependencies? does makepkg take care of dependencies, ie does PKGBUILD have the dependencies taken care?
Thanks a lot

Font index file's content

In FontFactory's reference, "dvb.fontindex" has been brought in. For implementing of FontFactory, I just make a test program to parse the file "dvb.fontindex". The file's content is like this:

Is the dtd file really deleted from MHP specification?
Appreciate for your help.

The problem has been resolved.
The problem occured during implementation of FonFactory.
When testint for font index file's parsing, the problem occured.
I override the StdXmlReader, add the publicID to it, then the problem had been resolved.

[SOLVED] Unable to build package Intel-OpenCL-SDK from the AUR

Good morning,
I am having some issues in regards to building a package from the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/intel-opencl-sdk/
If I understand correctly this is a 64 bit package, so I made sure that my processor has the LM flag. Also I have checked which kernel I am running:
>$ uname -m
x86_64
When I start building the package it comes up with an error saying:
==> ERROR: intel-opencl-sdk is not available for the 'i686' architecture.
Note that many packages may need a line added to their PKGBUILD
such as arch=('i686').
So I went in to the PKGBUILD and changed the line x86_64 to i686. This seemed to started the build, but it does stop working rather soon, giving me the following error:
==> Tidying install...
-> Purging unwanted files...
-> Compressing man and info pages...
-> Stripping unneeded symbols from binaries and libraries...
strip:./opt/intel/opencl-sdk/libOclCpuBackEnd.so: File format not recognized
/usr/bin/fakeroot: line 181: 846 User defined signal 1 FAKEROOTKEY=$FAKEROOTKEY LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PATHS" LD_PRELOAD="$LIB" "$@"
So I do not know where it is going wrong, although it also sounds that my install of Arch might be a bit dodgy as he does not want to build the package with the x86_64 setting ...
Could somebody shed some light on this matter?

So is it possible to update the dependencies to 64bit and then build this package?
When I change /etc/pacman.conf to take x86_64 architecture packages:
Architecture = x86_64
And I change the flags of /etc/makepkg.conf to x86_64:
CARCH="x86_64"
CHOST="x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2"
CXXFLAGS="-march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2"
Then when I do pacman -S llvm then it will say:
error: failed to prepare transaction (package architecture is not valid)
:: package llvm-3.2-5-i686 does not have a valid architecture
However I did put everything to x86_64, so where does he get the i686 from?

Can't install Cinnamon from the AUR

I can't install the latest CInnamon from the AUR on either my desktop PC (xorg-server 1.12, catalyst 12.6) or my laptop (xf86-video-intel, every single package up to date). I get the following error on both computers:

3. Please post in the appropriate section of the forum. I asked the moderators to move it to AUR issues: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewforum.php?id=38
Sorry for posting in the wrong section.
However, since the only error message that is of any importance in English I didn't translate the localised "helpful user output" back to English since it'd probably not be the same as the original strings anyway.

View packages that have moved from the AUR into official repositories

Is there any way to see packages that have been moved from the AUR to the official repositories in some sort of list? Ive looked through http://www.archlinux.org/packages/ and https://aur.archlinux.org/ with no luck.

You can do an -Sl on all repos that interest you and output to a file. Then diff with a previous version of the file to see changes.
Also i recently opened a feature request about having a commits mailing list for all repositories:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31562 which would make it easier to track all changes in the repos.

Lilypond from ABS doesn't compile: Py_InitModule

Hi there,
I'm trying to build lilypond from source, but it fails with this output:

I see that Py_InitModule is obsolete in python3, but it should be defined in python2.7, which is what is used to run the ./configure script. I even redirected the symlink /usr/bin/python to /usr/bin/python2, but without success.
Do you know how to fix this?

Yes. Add "--disable-documentation" to the ./configure command in the PKGBUILD.
Explanation: Archlinux pkgbuilds often do not control the build options through the configuration section of the PKGBUILD but rely on a controlled chroot build environment and how the source package happens to build in that environment. In this case our systems all have perl installed so compiling in the "open" system allows the lilypond build scripts to try to build the documentation. The Arch dev who packaged lilypond compiled it in a special environment in which perl was not present (because it is not listed in the makedepends); without perl the lilypond build scripts skipped the documentation.
In my opinion the best practice is to make the enable/disable of options explicit in the PKGBUILD so that we can see what is being built or excluded by reading it, and so that we can actually compile packages from ABS using makepkg.
By the way, you'll also find that some Archlinux packages will not build if /usr/bin/python points to python3. The devs may be building those packages in a chroot in which python points to python2 (as it should). I build everything on my Arch system from source code and find it best to remove /usr/bin/python -- anything trying to run "python" on my system fails and I fix it to access python2 or python3.

Problem building VLC from ABS

Okay I copied /var/abs/extra/multimedia/vlc to ~/installs/, then I ran makepkg and this is the end of the long output as it was compiling:
http://pastebin.ca/885102 (look at the end, and it's too many characters for post on forum)
What might be wrong ??

no, you need to first recompile 'ffmpeg' from abs with --disable-swscaler flag. Check the PKGBUILD, u will see it is enabled, replace with disable. compile and install it using pacman -U.
then u take the PKGBUILD and patch from the archive I posted above and use makepkg to re-compile a patched vlc version so u can watch avi videos again. install that with pacman -U
your ffmpeg PKGBUILD will look like this
