AUR won't accept PKGBUILD with numbers in the Package Name

Trying to submit a PKGBUILD called:
gstreamer0.10-pitfdll-cvs
I am getting an error "Invalid name: only lowercase letters are allowed."
Does this mean that numbers are not allowed in the package names in AUR?
The error goes away once I remove the numbers but that creates other errors, such as a mismatch with the name in the PKGBUILD file.
This package is just another plugin for the gstreamer0.10 series of packages in Arch.

B4 I forget what started this little mess, allow me to present:

  • The package name The Gallbladder-4.itmsp contains an invalid character(s).  The valid characters are: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, dash, period, underscore, but the name cannot start with a dash, period, or underscore

    I have an iBook on itunes and I am trying to upload a new version of the book. I am following the workflow through iBooks Author and when I fell out all of the infromation for the package on iTunes producer i then hit the deliver button and I get the following error message:

    As far as I can tell the file that is being referenced does not meet the criteria axpressed in the erro message and in fact that file has been created by iBooks Author so one would think there shouldnt be an error.

  • Add a new directory with hyphen (-) in the domain name

    Dear All,
    I'm trying to add a new directory with hyphen (-) in the domain name (default domain *.onmicrosoft.com). As a result I keep getting a validation error: "The domain is not unique". I've tried several
    combinations with really awkward words and a hyphen. Such domain names must be unique. I think that the error message is misleading.
    Is it a well known behavior? Is it possible to use a hyphen in the domain name?
    Thank you for your help,
    Artem

    Dear Arvind,
    Thank you for your effort and time in validating the described behavior.
    According to the
    Regexp for subdomain question on SO, 'Each subdomain part may contain hyphens (dashes), but may not begin or end with a hyphen'. That been said, the validation error, on your screenshot is appropriate. On the other hand, the validation error
    with a hyphen (dash) in the middle is misleading.
    It's not a big deal, since people most likely use a custom DNS name anyway.
    Kind regards,
    Artem

  • I have a iPhone 5 and mini ipad which I bought unlocked in the UK. I have just moved to singapore and have been told the iPhone won't accept a sim here as the phone is locked to the UK. Any ideas how to unlock. Will this be the same for my ipad?

    I have an iPhone 5 and mini ipad which I bought in the UK Unlocked. I have just moved to Singaporen and have been told that my iPhone won't accept a sim as the phone is locked to the UK. Any ideas how to unlock as apple say they can't do it.  Will I have the same problem with my ipad?

    Unless you purchased the iPhone direct from Apple in the UK and paid full price either on line or In an Apple Store then it will be locked to a UK Carrier and only that carrier can arrange unlocking
    It is unlikely that the iPad is similarly locked as most are sold carrier free unless specifically purchased from a UK carrier as part of a packaged deal involving a subsidy on the price of the iPad ( not very likely but they do exist )

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Why do I get Error 42 when I build a RT-exe with numbers in the Target file?

    I can build a RT-exe without numbers in the Target Filename without any problems.
    As soon as I put a number in the Target Filename, lets say startup1.rtexe, I get the following error:

    I use LV 2009, and I can't remember having this problem with LV 8.2 or 8.6. This made it a bit hard for me to figure out where the problem might be.
    Now I would like to use numbers in the Filename (e.g. version1.0.rtexe, version1.1.rtexe...). Any ideas how to make this work?

  • Programmatic launch of reader 11.0.3 won't open file with spaces in the path?

    The application I work on uses a PDF file for online help.  We programmatically launch the help file into the user's PDF viewer.  The path to the help file may have spaces in the directory names or filename.  With previous versions of Adobe Reader, it would launch just fine (path passed in on the command line).  However, with 11.0.3, I find that if I don't include an extra set of quotation marks around the path, it fails to open when there are spaces in the directory name.  What changed between then and now to cause this problem?  If I add extra quotation marks, will users with an older version of Reader not be able to open the file?
    Edit -- running in Windows 7, launched from C# .NET 3.5.

  • [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?

  • How to access a url in file receiver CC with space in the folder name?

    Hi
    PI 7.11 sp4:
    In a file receiver channel I would like to send the message to this folder:
    de-prod.dk\bu\something\something\PTI eventstanden\archive\"
    But I get this error message:
    "Target directory 'F:\usr\sap\XP7\DVEBMGS02\j2ee\cluster\server0\"\de-prod.dk\bu\something\something\PTI eventstanden\archive"' does not exist"
    My question is: where the f.... does it get the 'F:\usr\sap\XP7\DVEBMGS02\j2ee\cluster\server0\  from, and how can I fix it?
    One issue is the space in the folder name. I have tried to replace the space with %20 and then remove the "" s around the whole url, but without any luck.
    When I log on the server on which Pi is running I can access the folder using the mentioned url including the ""s.
    All suggestions would be highly appreciated!

    It works for me just to copy the folder from Windows explorer into channel config. With space and without ".

  • Can't email files with spaces in the file name since 10.5.2 upgrade

    Not sure if this is a bug with Leopard or I'm being stupid (possibly the later) but... Has anyone else experienced this issue and do you know what is causing it?

  • Creating a Mat View having the same name with that of the table name

    You'd have to rename the table (using ALTER TABLE tablename RENAME TO othername; ) before you create the MV.
    You can't have both existing with the same name in the same schema.
    What you see in the GQ schema is that the "table" is the underlying table for the Materialized View.
    When you do a CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW MY_MV AS ...
    Oracle creates two objects with the same name, one being the Materialized View MY_MV and the other being the table MY_MV which is the physical storage. {Remember that a Materialized View is a means of getting a physical representation of a View}.
    In the QQ schema what you have is either
    a. a real Table
    or
    b. an improperly dropped MV, resulting in the underlying Table still present.

  • Unable to open PDFs with CR in the file name or folder name?

    We are unable to open any PDFs with capital CR in the title of the document or if they are stored in a folder with CR in the name of it. This is quite a large problem as we are a CRC (Cooperative Research Centre) and need to use this in most file and folder names.

    Can you please update to the latest version of Adobe Reader available i.e. 10.1.4 (By clicking on Help > Check For Updates from within the Reader application). This should fix your issue.

  • Temporary files with a "~" in the file name

    when i open an html file i see that another file with the same name, plus a tilde sign (~) after it, is automatically created in the folder that this file sits in. this is supposedly a temporary file? these files are  NOT temporary, they never go away. and they start adding up in my folder and it gets very confusing as to which file i'm working on. sometimes there will be a file with two "~ ~" in them.
    when i close the "original file", the tilde files don't disappear, they stay. On top of that, to make things more confusing, there is also some weird autosave function and i also get files that say filename(Autosaved). Before i know it there are 10 files with various names sitting there and it gets very confusing to know what is the "real" file.  does anyone know how to stop the creation of these "temporary" files? i'm enclosing a screenshot that shows all these files with tildes and the autosaved  file.
