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,

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.

Best package for my needs

Hi, I work in an estate agents and take property photos which i then edit and use for brochures, web use etc. As well as that I need to be able to produce advertsing pages for newspapers/mags and convert to a pdf. What editing package would suit please?

Possibly Design Standard. Are you familiar with using Photoshop and InDesign? You would most likely want to use both of those products to accomplish your tasks.

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.

[SOLVED] Archiso : installing AUR packages on a live image

Hi all,
I'm quite an arch newbie, I'm trying to setup a live USB stick, with the help of archiso. My goal is to finally get an "audio oriented" system (with jack, ardour, qsampler, and so more...).
During the setup everything was working very well, until I tried to add some AUR packages to the install.
On the arch website, I found this tip, which gave me a great hope about this.
I'm not so familiar with Arch package management, but ok, I try to make a test : adding the "qsampler" AUR package. It needs "linuxsampler", "qt4", and "liblscp" as dependencies. "linuxsampler" and "qt4" are official packages, so I just have to add them to packages.both in the archiso working directory. "liblscp" is an AUR package (with no dependency); so there is 2 AUR packages to install : "liblscp", and "qsampler".
So I create a directory tree like described in the tip, download the two build packages from AUR, and for each of them I do (something) like described there :
# tar -xvf tarball_filename.tar.gz
# cd tarball_filename
# makepkg --asroot
# mv *.xz ..
# cd ..
# rm -r tarball_filename{,.tar.gz}
And then:
# repo-add customrepo.db.tar.gz *.xz
(I'm staying as root because it's red written to stay as root for the image creation. I think it's stupid, but people make stupid things when they are desesperate. Sorry I didn't take the time to test the code above again, it's only memory, but it was very similar)
I did the same for both architectures (i686 and x86_64), so that my custom repo looks like this:
~/liveusb/customrepo # ls -R
i686 x86_64
./i686:
customrepo.db customrepo.db.tar.gz liblscp-0.5.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qsampler-0.2.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
./x86_64:
customrepo.db customrepo.db.tar.gz liblscp-0.5.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qsampler-0.2.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
Oops... I just noticed I did wrong for i686 machines, but it doesn't matter for the moment, since I'm working on an x86_64 machine.
As explained in the tip, I add the following lines to pacman.conf (in the archiso working directory):
[customrepo]
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
Server = file:///my/path/to/customrepo/$arch
From my point of view, at this point, the USB stick is ready to be updated:
~/liveusb # ./build.sh -v
and then (with /dev/sdf as my usb stick device):
~/liveusb # dd if=out/archlinux-2014.10.01-dual.iso of=/dev/sdf
But when I boot on the USB stick, there's no trace of qsampler (linuxsampler, however, is present).
Since it happened, I'm feeling like a lost, lonely man, on a desert island... Thinking about the "why", the "how"..., the meaning of life..., of package management... all this stuff
I'm sure I did something wrong about the "custom repository", and the main reason is I don't deeply understand all the steps about this; that's why I'm looking for help
Any idea?
Many thanks
Last edited by yolenoyer (2014-10-02 09:16:57)

Thank you for the reply,
I think I did a more trivial mistake :
With archiso, the packages are automatically installed, from a package list file called "packages.both", and "packages.x86_64", "packages.i686" for architecture dependent packages. But they only use common repos by default. The "'qsampler" is not in official repos (that's why I choosed this one for my question).
So, ok, I setup a common repo (with some mistakes but it was working), BUT...
I just forgot to put the package name in the packages.both file...
So, now that I did it, I just have an error about the package architecture, which I think possible to fix, just by rebuilding the common repo in a correct manner:
~/liveusb # ./build -v
warning: vlc-2.1.5-3 is up to date -- reinstalling
warning: mplayer-37224-2 is up to date -- reinstalling
error: failed to prepare transaction (package architecture is not valid)
:: package qsampler-0.2.3-1-x86_64 does not have a valid architecture
==> ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root
Trilby wrote:Also, does this need to be a static iso image - is there a reason not to just do a persistent usb install?
About the static iso image : the idea of building an iso image with all my personnal tools and config already installed on it is very pleasant to me, including the fact that you can burn it on a CD as well. The persistent acpect would be pleasant too, but in a secondary way.
While I'm writing this message I really understand a bit more about all of this, since yesterday... Sometimes, simply posting a message in forums helps you to understand your own problem, because you have to be clear and concise!

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!

[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.

Aurebuildcheck - checks if aur packages need rebuild

Hi everyone, I made a small script which checks locally installed packages for missing dependencies using ldd.
The script basically gets the list of files contained in local packages and runs ldd on the files to check if dependencies are missing (kinda like findbrokenpkgs or lddd found in "devtools").
However, since it only checks the files of local packages, it's much faster than lddd or findbrokenpkgs which check all packages.
The aur package is called aurebuildcheck-git and can be found at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/aurebuildcheck-git/ .
Have fun.

Ok, thank you!
It's a bit more hacky now, and a bit slower.
localpackages=`pacman -Qqm`
localpackagesamount=`echo $localpackages | wc -w`
echo -e "${localpackagesamount} packages will be checked...\n"
brokenpkgs=""
localpackages=`pacman -Qqm`
for package in $localpackages ; do
BROKEN="false"
echo "checking ${package}..."
packagefiles=`pacman -Qql $package | grep -v "\.a\|\.png\|\.la\|\.ttf\|\.gz\|\.html\|\.css\|\.h\|\.xml\|\.rgb\|\.gif\|\.wav\|\.ogg\|\.mp3\|\.po\|\.txt\|\.jpg\|\.jpeg"`
IFS=$'\n'
for file in $packagefiles; do
if (( $(file $file | grep -c 'ELF') != 0 )); then
# Is an ELF binary.
libs=`readelf -d "${file}" | grep "NEEDED.*\[.*\]" | awk '{print $5}' | sed -e "s/\[//" -e "s/\]//"`
for lib in ${libs} ; do
# needed libs
if [ -z `whereis ${lib} | awk '{print $2}'` ] ; then
# Missing lib.
echo -e "\t ${RED}${file}${NC} needs ${REDUL}$lib${NC}" # >> $TEMPDIR/raw.txt
BROKEN="true" # to avoid packages being listed in the brokenpkg array several times

[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?

Need to know the Business Package for CRM4.0 Sales in EP6.0

Hi experts,
We are trying to implement the CRM4.0 Sales business package in our EP6.0 environment( Our Backend R/3 is in 4.6B) . We would like to install complete package for the Sales module (The main (Top level) menus in the portal look like the following ==>
Activities.. Account Management ... Acquisition.. Sales .. Products.. Analysis..   Home.. R/3 Integration .. CRM integration .. APO integration..
Below every top level menus there are sub menus.. For example under Sales we would have the folliwng ( Overview.. Quotation.. Orders .. Contracts.. Billing Documents )
In the list of package from CRM (available in the SDN) the following looks like the currect one, can anybody advice please.
Business Package for SAP CRM 4.0     60.2.3   SAP AG   Unrestricted Shipment.
However, since we are only interested about the Sales Portion only can we choose to import content that is relevant only to the CRM SALES as well as CRM SALES analytics and not anything else? If it's possible the what is the procedure? If not then I assume that we will have to import the entire content and activate only the portion that we need. Please advice.
Appreciate a detail reply.
   Thanks

[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
