[SOLVED] Can I submit a package including source code inside to AUR?

I'm about to make PKGBUILD for scim-unikey (http://code.google.com/p/scim-unikey/), they dont not have a public subversion url right now. The current version on their site is quite old. They update the newest package through a thread here http://forum.ubuntu-vn.org/viewtopic.ph … &sk=t&sd=a (WARNING: it's Vietnamese).
I want to make a package for the newest version, so my question is: can I include the source code of the newest version inside my tarball to the AUR?
The wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_User_Guidelines and http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arc … _Standards dont mention anything about included source code.
Comments are welcome!

Many thanks. Here is the details what I've done:
set the 'source' in the PKGBUILD file like this:
source=($pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2)
Instead of a valid url, make sure you have the file '$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2' (in my case it's scim-unikey-20090218.tar.bz2) is in the same directory as the PKGBUILD file.
Hope it could be useful to someone else.

Creation of new package and request number.

Hi frndz,
Hope everyone are doing fine. Coming to my query, its quite simple for you guys.
But me being new to BW, I would like to know how to create a new package and request number.
And I have a task to create a new IS and DS also. So do i need to create these new package and request number separately or at the time of creation of IS and DS.
Please give me clear idea.
Thanking you.

Dubbu

Hi Vinay,
I hope you are speaking about Package to collect Objects and collecting them in Transport Requests.
Usually you use the same packages for all the objects. According to requirement if you want to create the Package you can goto SE80--> There you can create a New Package. Give Transport layer as SAP. and Activate it. Then you collect the package in a Transport Request. You can create the request by the create button on the screen when it ask for Transport Request.
While creating the Infosource or other objects you mention the package which you have created while saving and you can use the existing TR or new TR for collecting them.
You can use RSA1---> Transport Connection to collect the objects easily to TR's

Can i compile new procedures/packages on my snapshot standby?

Hi
can i compile new procedures/packages on my snapshot standby?
I need to test the new release of the application, which include some changes to current packages
thanks

yes you can do it, just that it will be flashbed back to the restore point when it was standby first, do anything on it, but be aware that later you convert from snapshot standby to physical standby, more time it would take for redo to be applied and also it is mandatory to open the snapshot at least once in read-write mode before it can be converted into a physical standby database.

Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?

Suggestion for new package management scheme

As was talked about in the INCOMING thread, Arch is growing and the devs are having trouble keeping up with maintaining packages. Arch is becoming disorganized and messy.
Well, Xentac and I were discussing this for a while, and we both seem to like a voting system. Arch shouldn't try to maintain every package out there, it's simply a waste of effort. If only one or two people want a package, they can build it themselves, it's not hard with ABS.
Arch devs should focus on keeping packages high quality, up to date, etc. They can't do this if there's 10,000 packages. So the solution would be that a package won't be included in the official repos (current, extra, unstable) unless it gets a certain number of votes, showing that lots of people really want the package, and it's "essential".
I don't know how many votes a package would need, but that's a little thing. I would suggest all packages in Extra/Unstable initially go up for this voting (once we implement it) and we make the vote quota be a little lower for this initial slimming, and that'll cut down the repos right there. All those packages that no one uses (that wont even get one vote) can be cut away. People can always vote them back if they become popular.
I don't want to have to do things like KDE, GNOME, etc myself, but I really don't mind maintaining my own little customizations, like Rhythmbox w/ XINE support (instead of Gstreamer). This vote system simply makes sure that a package is worth the developers time.
This goes with my idea of Arch as the perfect "Base" distro. People can build what they want on top of it.
This idea would also remove STAGING, as Arch wouldn't be accepting outside packages (though you're free to run your own repo or post PKGBUILDs on the forum). TESTING would be still used of course.
Suggestions?

I haven't really seen a single post in this thread that is without some merit, or at least an attempt at input.
The great thing about not being a larger distro is that the situation isn't as pressurized. Still, though, we (meaning the community AND developers) still obviously want Arch to be the best it can be and that's what this thread is about.
So...are any of the ideas mentioned here feasible? What do you think would be the best solution to creating a package release system that can handle Arch's current growth?
What about implementing a vote-based system for everything not in current? Would this be done with a web-based interface by using "submitrequest/vote" or something...obviously only registered users should be voting, right?
Anyway, I think a great job is being done and this thread is simply a positive indication of the vitality of the community. I think most of us fully recognize the resources of our developers and are simply wanting to find a way for them to bring us the best possible product. Arch rules!
I agree. I think what we should do is just take this time that we have while Arch is still young and not as well known among the Linux community, and try to make it great, relieving the pressures that we'd get a lot of later (not to say that we wouldn't get any, just less, hopefully).
As for the package setup, isn't there some way that we could write some system to do this? I had mentioned it before. And, I just came up with a small system. It would work like this:
We get one main server, whose "job" would be to create and store packages, and users could download from that server to install, etc. Now, whenever someone on the package management team finds an updated version of a package, they could log in to a special area of the site meant specifically for those developers. Then, using the special program on the website/server, they could link to the .tar or .bz2 that contains the source and submit it, along with the file's information that would be included with the package when you install it (file name, version, etc.) into the web-based form. Then, they click submit, and the server processes that file after downloading it, runs a makepkg-type thing on it, and stores the produced package in a "Fresh" repository. Then, the developer can download the file and opt to test it. If they're sure that it's okay, then they can replace the new file over the old one.
Just an idea, tell me what you think... :?

Searching for and Creating New Packages -- READ THIS FIRST

This is here simply for historical reasons nowadays, to serve as a reminder to all why the AUR is such a great thing. The original text follows:
===================================
It has occurred to me that there is alot of reinventing the wheel going on around here. There are copies of virtually the same PKGBUILD made by three or four different people that failed to check if it already existed floating around.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FINDING OUT IF A PACKAGE ALREADY EXISTS:
1. Check to see if it's in an official repo: http://www.archlinux.org/packages.php (or use pacman -Ss pkgname)
2.. Check to see if it's in an unofficial repo or tur: http://wiki2.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … positories and http://xentac.net/~tur/repos.php
3. Check if it has been posted in this forum before: http://bbs.archlinux.org/search.php in that dialogue, I suggest that you select "New and Requested Packages" from the Forum: menu, this way you get only the results you're interested in.
4. Check in incoming (soon to be deprecated, and already a mess, but you may just find it there...) ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/incoming
5. If you didn't find it in any of these places, then it has more than likely not been packaged before, and you can go ahead and follow the instructions at http://archlinux.org/docs/en/guide/inst … e.html#abs to package it, then share it on the forums.
Thank you for your cooperation, and happy packaging!

There has been some confusion going around when contributing packages. A lot of changes are going on now with the new TUR system, the AUR. The new AUR will have a nice systematic way of submitting packages. But currently, there are two ways to submit packages.
1) Post a PKGBUILD and build scripts of the New and Requested Packages category of the forum. TURs and developers will look through these PKGBUILDs and pick up any that look interesting to them, and put them in a repository.
2) Send a PKGBUILD to the tur-mailing list (http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/tur-users/). All the TURs will definately see your PKGBUILD if you post it on the mailing list. Many TURs prefer new packages on the list, because they will definately see it. Some TURs don't look at the forum as much as others.
To be on the safe side, you can do both.
Here are some dont's:
1) DONT submit packages to incoming. No one looks at incoming. Incoming is dead. Incoming is from the old package submittal submission system, which is now being replaced with the AUR.
2) DONT submit packages without PKGBUILD scripts. No one wants a package from an untrusted source that could contain malicious code.
3) DONT forget to include all files in your submission: .install files, PKGBUILDs, startup scripts, etc.
4) DONT put patchfiles up on the forum: the forum will mess up the formatting of the patch. Upload the patch somewhere and post a link.
5) DONT use namcap as your only resource for dependencies. Check ./configure --help, README, INSTALL, and the website of the program. Namcap is a guide, don't use it as truth.
6) DONT use the license field yet. A standard hasn't been decided of what to put there yet, so don't use it yet.
7) DONT add a maintainer comment to your PKGBUILD unless you have a repository and you maintain it. Put a contributor comment instead.
There we go: If everyone reads these, that will cut down on 90% of the submissions we have to fix :twisted: :evil:

Creating a new package for a new project

The installer is damaged. The installer can't open the package. (FCS 2)

Hi, everytime I try to install Final Cut Studio 2 on my Mac Book Pro (10.6.2), I get this message:
The installer is damaged.
The installer can't open the package. There may be a problem with file ownership or permissions.
When i run Disk Utility, the package seems to have no problems. I'm sure the dmg is not corrupted since I was able to install this on my iMac G5 (10.5).
Help!
Thanks...

Locate the original disks and make a new dmg. I've had to do this occasionally. Not sure why the installer disk image breaks, but it does. In fact, I've had more problems with the Adobe disk images I've made. They seem to install once, and then break, which totally defeats the purpose of making them. The FCS dmgs I've made have lasted a while, and I've used them about 6 or 7 times. But I did have to recreate them twice in 3 years.
If it says the installer can't use it, best bet is, you won't be able to fix it. One thing you could try though, copy them to a desktop and then run them. It could have to do with trying to run them over a managed network.

When I check the Installer Log, I find only these two messages that I do not understand.

See:

I had identical Installer Log failure notices: I used Houdini to view the invisible files and per Limnos' suggestion cautiously dragged
user > library > preferences > com.apple.installer.plist out of that folder onto my desktop and double-clicked on the .pkg file again and it opened and installed properly.
My Installer now works properly on all .pkg files.

Re-contracted- new package or old?

Hi I have recontracted to the new 'totally unlimited usage' package and just wanna confirm that I have been recontracted to the new package and not the old, which I am already on. Pics to illustrate why I have doubts
Should it not be 'Unlimited BT Infinity 2'
and 50GB, not 5GB (as in the old package)
Simple yes or no answer will be helpful as I can then swap it for the right one and not waste time.
thank you!

Opinion: new Package for every new custom Component?

Hi there,
I am just thinking of some possibilities to structurize my Components I made.
I wonder if it is useful/good programming to define a new package for each new custom Component?
So if I define a new MyComponent class extending JFrame should I make a new package:
"mycomponent"
containing these subfolders:
"view"
"model"
"controler"
subfolging "controler" in:
"listeners"
"adapters"
"events"
Is there any sense to do so? I think this would be the best way to structurize one's components.
But if you do, you have to include millions of packages if you want to use one of these components :(.
Please post, what you think.
Thank you
Sincerely
Karlheinz Toni

nope ;). I would most certainly not want to put every file in a single directory.
But I like sturctured things. If things belong to each other, it should be visible at once, that they have something to to with each other. And the best method I can figure you is putting them in one package.
The subpackages should be created, because of the model, that is used for all swing componentd (UI-delegete, MVC...) so that each structural component is where it belongs to.
I don't like it if tere are 100 events one object could possibly create and you don't know the events from the component (of course you can guess by the name Event :)), but if they are in the same package, you would have to scroll a long way to get the thing you want (either m, v or c).
So this is why I would do it ;).
Anyway: do includes make the program run slower (I have read many threads about it, but there are way to many opinions, so I would be grateful if you post your opinions here, thx ;).
Thanks for your answer,
Sincerely
Karlheinz Toni
p.s.: why wouldn't you put them in a seperate directory (just overkill?), would you use classes that are structured like this if you are looking for a implementation of something and find it in this structure?

[FIXED]Can't install any packages after Syu

So I did my first ever pacman -Syu today and I'm having severe pacman issues now. At the bootup screen, it will complain about how it is unable to mount the pacman database. Whenever I try to install a new package, I get hundreds of lines worth of errors, all the them ending in "already exists in filesystem."
I'll post more of the output later tonight when it cools down in my apartment, the laptop this is all happening on is having overheating problems at the moment.
In the meantime, ideas??

So you have /var/lib/pacman on a separate partition? From you description, pacman can not find that folder and so does not know which package any of the files on your system come from. So it sounds like a mounting issue rather than a pacman issue.

Can't submit new package
