AUR package for hamachi-gui

Could someone make a AUR package for http://hamachi-gui.sourceforge.net/
this by far is the best hamachi client I have seen.
Thanks

AUR package for konica minolta laser printer (CUPS)

Hi there,
currently I'm writing a AUR package for the Konica Minolta Magicolor 5430 Desklaser.
I have a question to put the ICC profiles files and special KM files to the cups tree.
The Konica Minolta makefile put the binary "rstertokm5430" to the directory "/usr/lib/cups/filter/" which is completely correct but the *.ppd file and *.icm files are going by default to /usr/share/KONICA_MINOLTA/mc5430DL/Profiles (icm files) and to
/usr/share/cups/model/KONICA_MINOLTA/km5430dl.ppd.gz (ppd file)
The directory in my running archlinux is
usrsharecupsmodel*.ppd and
usrsharecupsprofiles*.icm
Additionally there are "Halftones" files (*.bmp)
usrshareKONICA_MINOLTAmc5430DLHalftones*.bmp
I think about to put the Konica Minolta files in to this (new) directory tree:
usrsharecupskm5430dlmodel*.ppd
usrsharecupskm5430dlprofiles*.icm
usrsharecupskm5430dlhalftones*.bmp
How do I have to copy these files to be archlinux compliant ?
best regards,
Frank

frigg, my apologies for overlooking an important point in my last post. The three magicolor drivers have different version numbers, unlike the other examples of multiple printer drivers in one PKGBUILD. This means you will need one PKGBUILD for each driver, in order to have the correct Arch version number. There is still value in doing them together, since they have many common elements.
As a consequence of this change, I think it might be best to put the single PPD file in /usr/share/cups/model/, rather than have a directory with one ppd file in it. It appears that the KM_PPDDIR variable in the configure script controls this location, so I have added a sed command to the build script accordingly.
As another consequence, the package names need to be changed. I would suggest cups-mc2430dl, etc. This uses the short internal names used by the drivers, and Arch package names are supposed to be lower-case. This means that your awk script no longer works for all three drivers. Rather than write three different awk scripts, I have ported your directory change to a sed command. When you package a stand-alone script with the PKGBUILD, you have to also maintain its md5sum, so it is simpler to do everything inside the build script if you can.
Following are the three incomplete PKGBUILD scripts incorporating these changes. They are complete enough that when you run makepkg, they will download the tarball (if it isn't already present), check its md5sum, copy it into the src directory, uncompress it, and modify the configure script. One way for you to proceed from here is to add lines to the build script, run makepkg, check that the right things happen in the src directory, and then that the correct things are put into the correct place in the pkg directory. The next line in the build script runs configure, which won't finish on my system due to the lack of libjbig.

AUR package for justcloud needed

Is anybody able to make an AUR package for JustCloud service?
They have very attractive price for Cloud Storage. Here are just packages for Debian.

Wow, that seems... sketch. Anywho, have you tried throwing a PKGBUILD together yourself? The way package requests should work is that you should try your hand at it, and if/when you get stuck, post what you have and ask for help. Then, we can all offer suggestions as necessary. But this community prides itself on users' self-study; where would be the fun if we did all the work for you?
All the best,

Customized license for an AUR package

Hello community,
yesterday I stumbled upon a very cool LaTeX package for creating commutative diagrams. I found it very useful and thus wanted to create an AUR package for it, but unfortunately it has a somewhat unusual license. Here it is:
%% COPYRIGHT NOTICE: %
%% This package may be copied and used freely for any academic %
%% (not commercial or military) purpose, on condition that it %
%% is not altered in any way, and that an acknowledgement is %
%% included in any published work making substantial use of it. %
%% IT IS SUPPLIED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. %
%% If you are doing something where mistakes cost money (or where %
%% success brings financial profit) then you must use commercial %
%% software, not this package. In any case, please remember to %
%% keep several backup copies of all files, and check everything %
%% visually before sending final copy to the publishers. %
%% You may use this package as a (substantial) aid to writing an %
%% academic research or text book on condition that %
%% (i) you contact me at a suitable time to ensure that you have %
%% an up-to-date version (and any infelicities can be fixed), %
%% (ii) you send me a copy of the book when it's published. %
Also the source code is mostly kind of closed (you might take a look at http://www.paultaylor.eu/diagrams/diagrams.sty ). I contacted the author and asked whether it would be possible to change the license to some similar but more common license. Unfortunately it seems that the code needs much clean up before it can be published and the author doesn't have the time and resources to take care of it. Thus a closed license similar to the current license would be needed.
So I'd like to ask whether there is a common license similar to the above and if not, whether I can still create an AUR package for it (and what license I should use in this case).
Thanks,
PhotonX

I don't know if it is commonly used for software/code, but I don't think a creative commons license requires source distribution while an "Attribution + Noncommercial + NoDerivatives (by-nc-nd)" creative commons license seems to provide the restrictions the author is aiming for. This would allow for the use of a clear and established license.
Note: I just found a CC FAQ that advises against using it for software. Though the reason seems to be that the license does not make any specific mention of source/object code thus it is not an open source license. However, if one want's a closed license, that may do it ... it's at least worth considering.
It also may be worth considering whether the code in this project uses previously GPL'ed code/tools which I'm pretty sure it would. If that's the case then I believe it must also be GPL. ("I beleive" = don't take my word on this ... but this should be looked into).
EDIT: come to think of it, no actual "software" is being distributed as there is no compiled version of this. What is being distributed is a document. It is a style document with instructions that are interpreted by other software. That other software could be, but need not be, a GPL'ed latex compiler. It could be any sort of markup compiler that can work with latex-like instructions. Anyhow, the point is what is to be protected is not a resulting program, but the text contents of the sty document itself. Thefore a simpler document copyright would be more fitting than a software license, wouldn't it? So, I would recommend a creative commons variant. This allows others to use his sty document while (optionally) requiring attribution, disallowing modification of the sty document, and disallowing commercial use.
EDIT2: following from the above, with a comparison - this is like distrubuting campaigns or other plugins for the GPL'ed game Battle for Wesnoth. The artwork can be, and often is, under a more restrictive copyright of the author/creator. A sty document seems more like the artwork and added levels of Wesnoth than additional software.
EDIT3: another comparison would be distributed CSS styles. These are (if anything) under document copyright not software license.

Monitoring AUR packages

Is there any way to automatically monitor an AUR package for changes? I use a few packages and I'd like to know when they get updated so I can rebuild them but at the moment I have to remember to go the the site and check version numbers.

Will do, it is kind of ironic that it is in AUR itself!

Release BI 7.0 front-end add-on for SAP GUI 7.10, Support Package 700

Hi guys,
In SAP note 1238872 the release of new support package has been mentioned (Quote: "Download the BI 7.0 front-end add-on for SAP GUI 7.10, Support Package 700 from the SAP Service Marketplace.")
So, can someone tell me, when this Support Package will be released?
(At the moment the last version provided in download area is 6.02)
Kind regards
Markus

Thanks, but my question was not how can I workaround, cause I was able to read that note. (Unfortunatly the workaround solves the problem for the query designer only and the error still persists when executing the query)
However, can some one please tell me, when the Support Package 7.00 will be released?

[Solved] How to include examples for an AUR package

Hi,
I read the wiki pages how to create packages for the AUR,
but I am not sure how to include examples which should be placed
in /usr/share/doc/<package>/examples/ after the package was installed.
Should all files be mentioned in the "sources" variable of the PKGBUILD
or is it better to copy them via the .install file?

[SOLVED] Seeking for advice at aur package managment.

Hello again.
I've been using arch for a little time but this far I like it more eveyday.
I've installed virtualbox PUEL from the AUR with makepkg and pacman -U. It's working fine.
But I want to install more software from the AUR. Actually, maybe I'll be installing lots of software from the AUR. My question is, since these software is installed "manualy", is there an easy way of keeping it up to date?
I've tried yaourt but I really don't like it very much. (Im not using sudo [maybe later] and it asked my root password 3 or 4 times and finally wasn't able to install anything; pacman works fine. Yaourt has no good documentation) I even created an AUR account to see if there was some way of getting notifications of updated packages to upgrade them manually. But this far, I haven't found any satistactory solution.
Edit: Also, I've seen that at least for virtualbox and yaourt, there are repos that can be added to pacman. Can I add a repo for each piece of software chosen from the AUR? Are there repos only for some "very used" software?
Thanks for your advice.

Actually, I think that with yaourt you could do the best update for all AUR-installed packages. yaourt -Syyu --aur --devel for example.

Try aurbuild as well

Except for [community] of course
I can think of two unofficial repos:
repo.archlinux.fr
[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686
or
[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/x86_64
and adslgr32/64
amd64
[adslgr64]
Server = http://adslgr64.tiven.org/archlinux/x86_64
and the
i686 one

[yaourt] Keep sources/build files only for specific AUR packages

Hi,
By default, packages are build in BUILDDIR=/tmp/makepkg, which itself usually is a virtual dir in RAM. I generally like this behaviour, so I don't wanna change the BUILDDIR variable to point to a dir on the harddisk, but for a few packages I'd welcome the sources/build dir to be kept, e.g. for *-git packages to reduce build time on consecutive updates. Is there a neat Arch-way to tell the makepkg system to use a different dir (i.e., one on the harddisk) for specific packages? It'd be even greater to be able to use wildcards as well, so I could just enable this option for all *-git packages.
And as I said, I generally like the idea of building in RAM so the trick to just let BUILDDIR point to a dir on my hdd and put a command in some shutdown-script to delete all but the directories ending in -git wouldn't be perfect
Cheers
Last edited by epinephrine (2013-01-27 16:25:17)

Oh you're right in that BUILDDIR isn't set by default. I use yaourt for building AUR packages, so this is a yaourt related question, oops. I'll ask in the appropriate forum...
Some packages are only available as git packages, and that for a good reason. Some git repository maintainers follow the good working principle to always have their master branch stable and deployable and do development and testing in respective branches to keep master clean. E.g. I maintain 2 git packages on the AUR, and there are no other "stable" options, also as git makes sense for these packages.
And sometimes you just need a more up2date version

[SOLVED] Any guidelines for changing AUR package name?

I have TTWM in the AUR, and I'm changing the name to Alopex.
I can revise the PKGBUILD to change the name, and put ttwm-git in the "replaces" and/or "conflicts" array, but when I submit this to the AUR will there then be two AUR packages?
There is no need for the ttwm-git package to remain in the aur as they will be identical - it's just a name change. I don't want to needlessly clutter the AUR, so if there are any guidelines or best practices for renaming AUR packages, let me know.

If the wiki is unclear, please edit it https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR#Other_requests
Package merging has been implemented, users still have to resubmit a package under a new name and may request merging of the old version's comments and votes on the mailing list.

[SOLVED] How to set the packager name for an AUR package?

Hi,
I'm maintaining an AUR package (fspcc), but I don't know how to set the name of the "packager" for that package.
E.g. when you request info about some package
$ pacman -Qi somepkg
there is a line
Packager: Unknown Packager
that specifies the packager.
How do I set this "Packager" info so that any user installing my package will see what I want?
Last edited by lisztinf (2014-04-13 13:39:43)

Thanks for the answer.
I guess that when I run
$ makepkg
in my local build directory, then "mkpkg" will build a package with the "Packager" info set accordingly to my local makepkg.conf.
However, I would like another user - with his own makepkg.conf - to see what I want when installing the package. How can I achieve this?
If I install an official package - say pacman itself - through ABS, I see the "Packager" field properly set for that official package. But certainly this info doesn't come from my local makepkg.conf. I would like the same behaviour for my package. Is it possible?

What are the rules for AUR packages that rely on Alien bins [solved]

Hi,
I use ArchLinuxArm and want to create an AUR package that gets binaries from, lets say Fedora ARM, extracts them and modifies the config files in order to make it compatible with the Arch way of Linux. Of course, the PKGBUILD I am going to write will limit installation on the appropriate arcitecture, e.g. armv7h, then.
Is this generally allowed or will my package be deleted after submission to AUR?
Best,
RaumZeit

AUR queries should be posted to the aur-general mailing list.
As indicated in the thread linked by Karol above, it is permitted to append unsupported architectures to the arch array of a PKGBUILD that builds on officially supported architectures. That does not necessarily mean that we will allow packages that only build on unsupported architectures. This should be discussed on the mailing list. I have a vague memory of this coming up before and I think the consensus was that such packages would not be supported, but that consensus may have changed. Personally, I do not see a problem with such packages right now and I expect official supported to be extended in the future, so I am in favor of allowing them.
Packages that install pre-compiled binaries should be distinguished from normal packages with a "-bin" suffix. Such packages are permitted as long as they do not violate applicable licenses.

Official packages "required by" search for AUR packages

I often want to see which aur packages depend on a given official package.
e.g. recently to see that qt5-webengine is being used by something (qupzilla-git),
but most often to see if I might later regret updating to a git version
because there are interesting packages that depend on released versions.
My current understanding is that to do this I would have to clone http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/
and then grep -r pkgname.
Does anyone have a better way?

AUR is pretty big.
http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/ … ter.tar.xz is 120 MB but it decompresses into 1.2 GB on disk. I'd recommend using an efficient searching method unless you want to wait ... and wait ... and wait. And then you run out of memory ;P
AUR 4.0 is git-based, so maybe they'll include something like this. Ask on the ML, if you want.
AUR packages that depend on qt5-webengine:
j8-git
qupzilla-git
mist
The snapshot has 70k package directories, 15k more than the current AUR, so you get some false positives when grepping (i.e. packages that aren't available anymore).

Remove init.d debian script for AUR package

Sorry but it is not an "opaque binary from an unknown source": network audio daemon is made by Jussi Laako, a very well known expert in audio digital conversion, known on the net by "miska" (see the posts at computeraudiophile.com for example).
And yes, it is working very well. HQplayer play an audio file in one computer and network audio daemon reproduce it in another. There is a version of HQplayer for linux that will work for 30 minutes without buying the licence.
I will make a package also of HQplayer as soon as possible, since the network daemon will not work without it
For the licence I guess that I could change to 'unknown'
