AUR Helper Scripts

This thread is intended to provide a "locator" resource for all the AUR helper scripts out there - for searching and/or building from the AUR. This does include some of the GUI pacman frontends, and it is ok to repost those here.
I would appretiate it if the author of each front end posted a small (2-3 line) description of their creation, along with a homepage link and an AUR link (where applicable). Screenshots would also be nice (if applicable).
This thread is only intended for this purpose and will be cleaned of other posts. If this thread ends up locked and you have a front end to add, feel free to PM any of the moderator staff and we will unlock it for you.

aur-get
aur-get is simple AUR manager written in python. It will help you with searching, downloading, installing and updating packages from AUR.
aur-get is no more maintained. It's ugly and buggy code. Don't use it.

AUR helper with download/build only option ?

Hi,
Currently I have a cron job that does this:
pacman -Syuw --noconfirm
This downloads all packages and put it in the cache in the background, this way when a run an upgrade I just have to validate.
I would like to have the same for AUR packages. Is anyone aware of a AUR helper with a "download+build" only option ?

pacaur (which uses cower) supports a -d flag to download only, and a -m flag to download and build. The -d flag will pull down dependencies. I'm quite happy with pacaur+cower as a day to day solution, $0.02.
EDIT: sorry I meant the -m flag pulls down deps -- to do it with the -d flag you have to specify it twice. </bourbon>

Powaur - an AUR helper with a pacman-like interface

Hi guys,
I've just written this minimalistic AUR helper called powaur, with an interface like pacman / yaourt, so
there's no need to learn an addition set of commands. C is the only language I'm really really comfortable
with, so powaur is written in C.
Links
Github - https://github.com/yanhan/powaur
AUR - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49296
Updates
24 Jan 2012: - Updated to work with pacman 4 (!!)
10 July 2011: - allow uppercase answers for questions
28 June 2011: - --noconfirm option added
- --list-aur option added; lists installed AUR packages and their version
- only resolve dependencies for new / outdated AUR packages
26 June 2011: - allow installing of packages as root
- add per-user directory in form of /tmp/powaur-username, please comment out
"TmpDir" section of your powaur.conf for this to take effect
- print immediate dependencies for -S
- only print dependency graph for -S when --debug is supplied
10 June 2011: -S supports dependency resolution
-Su available to update outdated AUR packages
--crawl to output topological order of packages
-G --deps uses similar dependency resolution algorithm with -S
31 May 2011: Colorized output is now available!
26 May 2011: Multithreaded downloading is now supported!
Features
Currently, powaur offers the following feature set:
-G, --getpkgbuild Downloads PKGBUILDS of listed packages from the AUR
--deps Resolve dependencies for packages. This is turned off by default.
--threads <N> Limits the maximum number of threads to N (max of 10)
-S, --sync When used alone, installs packages from the AUR without dependency resolution.
--check Only meaningful with -u. Checks for outdated AUR packages without upgrading them
-i, --info Similar to that of pacman
-s, --search Searches the AUR for a single package
-u, --upgrade Updates outdated AUR packages
--vote Used with -s, orders search results by vote count (highest first) instead of alphabetical order
-Q, --query Queries installed packages
-i, --info Similar to that of pacman
-s, --search Similar to that of pacman
--crawl <package(s)> Shows a valid topological order of given packages
-B, --backup [dir] Backup the pacman local database in <dir>, or the current directory if unspecified
-M, --maintainer Searches the AUR for a maintainer
--vote Orders the maintainer's packages by vote count (highest first) instead of alphabetical order
--color Enable colorized output
--nocolor Turn off colorized output
--debug Displays debug information
-h, --help Displays help
-V, --version Displays version
Credits
Many thanks to Dave Reisner (falconindy) for allowing me to use code in cower for json parsing.
I also referred to source code from pacman and git.
Finally
Feature requests are welcome!

Hey there, yanhan. I just switched over from Gentoo to Arch simply for my love of Gnome 3. Maybe when Gentoo jumps on their Gnome support, I'll switch back... but for now, I'm loving Arch.
I downloaded powaur because I like pacman and I wanted to handle the AUR as seamlessly as emerge handles its overlays. I've got a super newb question for you, though, as per I don't quite know pacman's in's and out's yet.
So, as I'd like the 64-bit flash binary. I go about doing this as root:

X-help-script:// URL doesn't work.

Hello, does anyone know how can i make the apple x-help-script:// URL to work?
When i click on appl URLs in online help, safari says it can't open the page. Do i need to enable something?

ok, it's an internatl URL that can be used in they system. But why does apple uses this URL inside their ONLINE docs? If they know that url works only offline inside the help guides?

AUR helper to find wich package need rebuild

As we all know, package from AUR need rebuild when there dependency are updated. What I would like to find is some command or script that could tell me which package from aur need to be rebuild.
Is there already something like that that exist? If no do you have any idea how it would be possible to detect this, I could develop it but I don't know what info I would need to create that list.

Many aur tools can tell when an aur package has a newer version available, but AFAIK there is no tool to detect when a rebuild of the same version would be necessary. There are a few things that could be checked to cover many such cases, but there will always be corner cases that make such detection highly impractical if not impossible.
Though *most* such cases would be do to changed library versions on which AUR sourced and compiled binaries depend. A process like the following could detect candidates:
1) pacman -Qqm for a list of packages not in the main repos
2) For each package from (1) run pacman -Ql <pkg> and search for binaries.
3) For each binary from step two, run ldd on it to get the list of libs needed
4) Check each lib from 3 to see if it still exists, if not, the package needs rebuilding
This should cover many cases, but then there are likely other causes of a need of a rebuild. For a moment I thought about java vm updates, but actually I don't think this would be the case. With a JRE update it will either maintain backward compatibility or the java apps would have to be revised anyhow - a simple rebuild of the same version wouldn't help (I *think*, but what I know about java could fit on the back of a very small postage stamp).
EDIT: I can't think of a time that I was ever in this situation. I have ~20 AUR packages installed and have for some time and I have never needed to rebuild the *same* version of one of them due to updates to other packages. Have you been in such a situation? What was the package?

Dzlad :: Another AUR helper lad ::

I have uploaded dzlad using dzlad to the dzlad AUR page
Dzlad helps you do some AUR tasks:
* Upload tarballs, allowing you to vote and add a comment upon submission.
* Check for upgradable AUR packages.
* Download build scripts from AUR.
* Search for packages in the Name and Description fields, with results sorted by Name or Votes.
* Search packages by Maintainer. This is useful for checking for out-of-date packages maintained by you.
* Colored and formatted output.
* Vote for dzlad, and other operations like flag out-of-date, adopt/disown packages, and such.
What it does not do:
* Build or install packages.
* Resolve dependencies.
* Dangerous things (except for writing to ~/.dzlad).
For those interested, dzlad is written in ruby, and it's hosted on github
Or you can pull the source and see:
git clone git://github.com/lolilolicon/dzlad.git
Side note: As a lad who has learned ruby for just less than two weeks, I'm not to blame if it fries you a turkey.
To stay OT, you can find several examples by issuing `dzlad --examples' (or just `dzlad --e', you lazy piggie)
Cheers.

Simple answer, nothing.
I've wrote it primarly for myself to not use yaourt or anything in that way. I is also for me a opportunity to learn advanced bash scripting techniques.
It is a question of preferences. I like to have tool that I've written myself. I don't want to convince anybody to use this tool, but at least you have the option to do so.

Need help scripting DICOM metadata in Photoshop

I was wondering how to edit DICOM metadata with javascript. I am editing a bunch of DICOM images and have to give them new descriptors in the "Study Description" field. In one of Adobe's help pages, it states
You can also view and edit metadata for DICOM files in Bridge or in the Photoshop File Info dialog box. DICOM files support external automation through scripting
I presume this means that editing DICOM metadata should be scriptable, but I have not found a means to access the "Study Description" field. Does anyone know how to access it?

I was able to edit the DICOM metadata with your method. Most of the fields can be altered and saved. However, there are a few fields such as SeriesInstanceUID that won't cooperate. I can temporarily alter the SeriesInstanceUID field but after I save and reload it, another value automatically generated by Photoshop replaces it. Is there a way to force the DICOM to have the SeriesInstanceUID I want?

Need help - script to continue text in another field if necessary

Wish I could attach my form but it's not available. I am using Adobe Acrobat 9.0. I have a form with two text fields for "Other" information that needs to be shared. If the user types in more characters than the box holds the overflow text doesn't print. These are court documents and all the text has to print somehow. I am trying to figure out a work around for this and wondered if a script can be written to put the extra text from each "Other" field into another field that would open on a new page at the end of the document if necessary. I want to avoid having extra empty pages however so if they can be added ONLY if the text needs to overflow. I hope I explained this okay, like I said I wanted to upload the form but can't. If someone can help me with this I would really appreciate it.

LiveCycle is a part of Acrobat Pro Extended - Windows users only, not Mac.

Yes, it is possible - I've already indirectly provided you with the code for that via the link in my post. Just remember to save it to your desktop:
http://www.adirect.dk/adobeforum/commentfields.pdf
As an alternative you could remove the limited characters, set the field to multiline and make a script that set the textsize to auto if the user fills the field with text. When textsize is set to auto, the text will keep on shrinking as user types more text.

Help Scripting for PDF Form List Box

I am attempting to write JavaScript for an Adobe Acrobat X Pro form. I would like to set an action script for a List Box titled "customer_name" so that when a specific customer name is selected, a corresponding text box titled "cutomer_number" will automatically fill with the correct number. I am not very familiar with JavaScript so any help would be greatly appreciated.

The easiest way to do this is to set the export value of each list box item to the corresponding customer number. The script for the custom number field could then simply be:
// Set this field's value to the export value of the selected item in the list box
event.value = getField("customer_name").valueAsString;
Post again if you don't want to set up the list box that way for some reason since there are other ways to deal with this.

Application Help Script

What do I need to edit? Script for Citrix Receiver;
<#
.SYNOPSIS
This script performs the installation or uninstallation of an application(s).
.DESCRIPTION
The script is provided as a template to perform an install or uninstall of an application(s).
The script either performs an "Install" deployment type or an "Uninstall" deployment type.
The install deployment type is broken down in to 3 main sections/phases: Pre-Install, Install, and Post-Install.
The script dot-sources the AppDeployToolkitMain.ps1 script which contains the logic and functions required to install or uninstall an application.
To access the help section,
.EXAMPLE
Deploy-Application.ps1
.EXAMPLE
Deploy-Application.ps1 -DeploymentType "Silent"
.EXAMPLE
Deploy-Application.ps1 -AllowRebootPassThru -AllowDefer
.EXAMPLE
Deploy-Application.ps1 -Uninstall
.PARAMETER DeploymentType
The type of deployment to perform. [Default is "Install"]
.PARAMETER DeployMode
Specifies whether the installation should be run in Interactive, Silent or NonInteractive mode.
Interactive = Default mode
Silent = No dialogs
NonInteractive = Very silent, i.e. no blocking apps. Noninteractive mode is automatically set if an SCCM task sequence or session 0 is detected.
.PARAMETER AllowRebootPassThru
Allows the 3010 return code (requires restart) to be passed back to the parent process (e.g. SCCM) if detected from an installation.
If 3010 is passed back to SCCM a reboot prompt will be triggered.

Help Scripting "Mirror displays" and resolution

HI there,
I work in a situation where it would be super helpful to have a script that runs at login that sets the resolution to a specific resolution and even more awesome if the script could make them "mirror displays" as well.
Any help would be so GREATLY appreciated!?!?!?!

Mirror Display means just that. It puts what's on the MacBook to the Samsung's screen including the macBook's resolution. In System Preferences>Display there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the Samsung and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetoothkeyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.

Help - Scripting for LiveCycle 7

I am working in Adobe Professional, LiveCycle Designer 7. I need help with scripting.
My numeric field names:
I want the formula to calculate a per-project limit based on 2 criteria as follows:
If the multiplier box contains a value 71 or greater, multiply the highest project amount by 1.7 but
If the multiplier box contains a value of 70 or less mulitply the highest project amount by 1+multiplier (e.g 1.69).
Thank you

* script is dependent on actual field names and hierarchy you set in your design....however you could use the following as sample.
//JavaScript code
var mPlier = multiplier.rawValue
var pAmount = projectAmount.rawValue
if (mPlier >= 71) {
prePLimit.rawValue = pAmount * 1.7;
}else {
prePLimit.rawValue = pAmount * (1+mPlier);
Good Luck,

Need help scripting the Essentials Server Backup configuration in PowerShell

I'm trying to write a PowerShell script that automates the setup and configuration of the Server Backup feature within WS2012 R2 Essentials. There are a number of cmdlets for defining the backup source files and target location such as add-wssbackuptarget,
add-wssbackupvolume, new-wssbackuptarget, etc.
These cmdlets all have a required -Disk parameter and I can't for the life of me figure out the syntax for it. I've tried the disk ID, drive letter, LUN, volume label, and disk number. All of the examples in the help files are using variables instead of
explicitly entering a value; I've tried using the example scripts and those fail too.
So here's a quick example:
Get-WssBackupPolicy | Add-WssBackupVolume -Disk ??
I obviously need more parameters than that but the point is, no matter what other parameters I type and no matter what I enter for the value of -Disk, I always get "Cannot bind parameter 'Disk'. Cannot convert the "D:\" (or whatever I've entered)
value of "System.String" to type "Microsoft.WindowsServerSolutions.DataProtection.ServerBackup.ObjectModel.BackupDisk".
And like I said in the opening paragraph, I get that same error for any and all cmdlets that use the -Disk parameter. Does anyone know how to properly structure format the -Disk value?
Thanks

Don't worry I wasn't sure as well, I had to raise a SR to understand it too!
I have a similar set up to yours and have webutil working successfully.
What you need to do is to install and configure your application server on unix for webutil as well as windows.
From your post I see you are already reading the docs. Within chapters 2 and 3 both of which are titled "configuring web util", you will see points that refer to the application server, these are the ones that you need to follow.
Good luck

Need Help scripting Multiple Dependencies to show hidden subform.

I'm trying to make it so two boxes have to be checked to show a hidden subform. I thought the script would be something like this:
if (Check1.rawValue==1)
&& (Check2.rawValue==1){
Sub1.presence="visible";
else{
Sub1.presence="hidden";
It's not working at all though, so I'm obviously mistaken in my logic.
I'm using LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2.1.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Kind of a stand still until I get this one figured out, otherwise I have to change how my document will be designed. Thanks.

I don't have LiveCycle but you from a javascript standpoint yuo might not need all those parenthesis in your if statement. Try:
if ( Check1.rawValue == 1 && Check2.rawValue == 1 ) {
Sub1.presence = "visible";
} else {
Sub1.presence= "hidden";
That is assuming that the "Check1", "Check2" and "Sub1" variables are setup to properly reference your live cycle form elements. If those variables are right then my if statement above should work for you.
If this still doesn't work for you, you might try posting this in the LiveCycle forums: http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle

Need help scripting a sliding volume scale.

Hi, I hope this is in the right section, I am trying to make
a flash flv player (sort of like youtube) for my site. I have it
practically done but need a better volume adjustment. Currently, I
have only been able to figure out how to make a sound on/off button
but what I would really like is the volume control found on this
player.

Could someone please help me with the script for it? I am
really new to flash but I made the following 3 objects in the
library. Solid black graphic in to a movie object, 1 solid black
graphic in to a button, and one light grey graphic in to a button.
I assume I need a script for each of those 3 objects. Thanks for
the help!
P.S. Using Adobe Flash CS3 Trial

you need to submit it to another file which in turn will
insert the information on the fold field using SQL. for example...
INSERT INTO contact
VALUES FORM.Firstname, FORM.LastName, FORM.Phone
I don't know what programming code you are using (Coldfusion,
PHP, ASP ..etc).
Here's more information.
