Docky out of community repo
Why docky and dockmanager packages are no longer available in community repository and only there are in AUR?
Thanks and regards!
The post you're referring to is three months old. If the package is building again, then what's the problem? The difference between [community] and the AUR is that packages in the [community] repo are considered fairly stable and trustworthy. If a package won't build, or is prone to dependency hell, then it stays in the AUR. As far as I'm concerned, so long as it's a well-established package and will build, it doesn't really matter where it comes from.

[community] repo: Movement of orphaned packages to unsupported.
Hi fellow Archers,
With time, the number of orphaned packages in the community repo has steadily increased because of various reasons: TUs no longer had time/interest to maintain a package, TUs leaving the group, etc. Currently there's about 300 orphans in [community] and the TU group doesn't have currently the time or interest to maintain all of them. We finally came to the conclusion that it would be better to have maintained PKGBUILD in AUR than stale packages in community. So, in the next weeks, we'll gradually move some (all?) of them to unsupported. To ensure that these PKGBUILD get adopted by regular users, we'll be handing out orphaned community packages to users who are willing to maintain them. So if you are interested in one or more orphaned community packages, request it in this thread and it'll be moved to unsupported for you to adopt it. We'll be accepting requests until April 4th but it could be extended if necessary. Hopefully, this will drop the number of orphans to a manageable amount. If not, more orphans will be moved to unsupported.
Once a package is moved to unsupported, I can't guaranty that someone else browsing the AUR will adopt it. So you should adopt it as soon as it's moved to unsupported. If someone else request a package that you want before you, as a matter of courtesy, please give that person a few days to adopt the PKGBUILD. After that, you can adopt it. Also, once you adopt a package, you'll probably need to update it as some of these packages are out-of-date or the arch and license fields are missing.
"Reserved" orphans: DaNiMoTh is currently a TU candidate and, if he gets voted in, is willing to adopt the following orphans: mozplugger, sportstracker, gobby and rsnapshot. You may request them but they'll remain in the community repo until the end of the voting period to minimize package movement.
SnowmanThe community repo cleanup is completed.
The current orphans will remain in community and have been fixed/updated.
I've added myself to the notification list so I'll be aware of any
comments.
Some packages were completely removed from community/AUR:
schism: obsoleted by schismtracker
gst-plugins-png: Arch no longer support gstreamer 0.8
mysql-administrator: obsoleted by mysql-gui-tools
mysql-query-browser: obsoleted by mysql-gui-tools
multisync: This app has been actually splitted in two other apps
(multisync-gui and msynctool) whose PKGBUILDs are in
unsupported.
Other packages that were also in current/extra were removed.
Packages that were moved to unsupported:
If you want to browse the list with the AUR interface, do a search with me
(Snowman) as submitter and look for the orphaned packages. Several of them
have found a new maintainer in unsupported.

Moving eiskaltdcpp from AUR to community repo
Not sure if this is the place to ask this
Is there any reason why eiskaltdcpp is not there in the community repo and instead in AUR. Considering that Eiskaltdcpp works much better than Linuxdcpp which currently is available in the official repos, I was hoping that Eiskaltdcpp could also be moved to the official repos.The probable reason is that no TU wants to maintain the package (or other problems, but I guess that chance is small as it is GPL3). Seeing that the package hasn't been updated since 2013-09-12 and seems out of date (check the page), the chance of it being adopted by a TU and put into community seem small at the moment.
By the way, votes are used to indicate popularity of a package and will increase visibility of the package. So, voting is a good way to start promoting a package.
EDIT: I was wrong, the package is not out of date. My bad.

I needed to install a previously purchased CS6 versus on new computer. To do this, I had to download a version from CC. I will not be using CC. How do I activate Photoshop under my license so that it does not stop working when I am out of communication range a month from now?
The CC version will not activate with your perpetual CS6 license. Download the version from here:

Your number should work with this version. -

I tried to extract the community db (located at /var/lib/pacman/community.db.tar.gz) and it throws an EOF error, so may be the problem isn't at my computer. -
SOLVED-My maintained package is now in the community repo, now what?:)
Hi,
I am the maintainer of the package ibus-unikey in the AUR, but now it's moved into the community repo, how can I still maintain this package?
Many thanks.
Tinh
Last edited by tinhtruong (2010-12-28 09:44:42)Essentially you don't maintain it any more. A Trusted User will maintain it in the [community] repo (and should have emailed to let you know...).

Replacing PO Out for Communication
Hi,

Thanks in advance.

Grass and Qgis from Community repo to AUR
I noticed that the Grass and Qgis packages disappeared from the community repo. Although they are still available through AUR, should I become worried since I use these programs almost daily on my Arch machines?
Hm, maybe I start first with 1 ct: I've modified the PKGBUILD of the Qgis AUR package (pkgver = 1.7.3 and md5sums to the 1.7.3 tar.bz2 package).
The following PKGBUILD should work:

This build also eliminated a conflict between Qgis 1.7.2 and the Grass-svn build I got this morning.
For the time being all the bleeding cutting edge packages are working!
I tried to post a comment on the AUR page but apparently that needs another subscription...

Community repo (sustainability)
I'm not familiar with the details of the process involved in maintaining the community repository. However, as an Arch user I witness some of its faults. If these faults are a reason to evaluate or not how things are being done, or to gauge the Community repository quality, I leave it to those in the know. But when a package that has a hard kernel dependency is upgraded in the Community repo and that package doesn't include an essential module which renders it virtually useless, I get annoyed. I need to rollback both package and kernel upgrade. I'd expect from the community repo, what I don't ask in AUR; care.
I'm not judgmental of the TU (or any other TU for that matter). I fully understand and appreciate all the hard work that they brought upon themselves and the dedication they often show. However when a TU is maintaining well above 1000 packages, something got to be wrong in the humble opinion of this user of yours. It's expected that gross mistakes will eventually happen. And it's when I lose confidence in the Community repo and wonder if it's just not AUR with appointed people to give it a the proper look of an official repo. If the policy is to hold everything that is humanly possible in Community, even if at the end of a string, I think that makes more damage than good.
The incident isn't isolated. They happen not because we have bad TU (of that I'm positive). But almost certainly because we have overtaxed TUs, either by choice or imposition. Anyways... all this is my my opinion. I'm however, as a user, asked to adhere to the Arch Way. Complexity without complication. I don't expect this to have a double meaning.marfig wrote:I'm not familiar with the details of the process involved in maintaining the community repository.

this things happen and most cases are upstream issues. i know about powertop and it was a mistake but vmware modules seems to be because upstream deprecated something i guess.(lets see how the bug report is going)

i fully agree with you. our TUs and developers teams is way to small compared with the amount of packages that we have in the repos. What about applying as TU and help us maintaining(translation getting rid of crap from our repos) ?

AUR and community repo is great.
Lately I have been needed all types of utility and dependency packages, and community repo is often there to provide. AUR and community repo is great! My thanks to all AUR contributors and TUs.
Moo-Crumpus wrote:Still would like to have aur in pacman...
I think this is the wrong approach. AUR unsupported is inherently unsafe. We do have TUs flagging packages as safe, but tools such as aurbuild (which I use extensively, don't get me wrong) are likely to open big security holes for users that don't check or don't know how to check the PKGBUILDs.
We already have AUR in pacman -- the [community] repository. Rather than having more inherent support for aurbuild-style building built into pacman or makepkg, it seems to me we need more unsupported packages going into [community]. This means we need more TUs.
I'd also like to see more [community] packages going into [extra], which means we need more developers. ;-) But officially supporting aurbuild-style tools in pacman is just not a safe idea.

Yaourt, cvs, md5sum and community repo.
Hey, lately trying to install packages with yaourt are not working. For example, flock and lmms both say CVS and not PKGBUILD in AUR. yaourt cannot find them.
I tried to download the pkgbuild by clicking on cvs bout I get "AN Exception Has Occoured" error message.
This is only with CVS packages. Also, when upgrading a package for my system from AUR, I don't use md5sum and I've always removed the old md5sum number from the pkgbuild and it builds.
Now I can't do that anymore.
Is there a problem with:
1: packages saying CVS and not PKGBUILD in AUR/Community?
2: is md5sum manditory now?
An Exception Has Occurred
lmms/repos/community-i686: unknown location

Last edited by funkmuscle (2009-08-13 00:34:08)Packages in community have been moved to the previous CVS repo an SVN repo just like the official packages. There are still issues being ironed out, which explains the exception.
I believe the md5sums thing is due to the latest pacman update, makepkg will not just throw a warning now, it errors instead. Don't quote me on that though. -
I have enjoyed using Adobe PPRO 5.5 for a couple of years. It seemed to work flawlessly untill about two weeks ago.
Now differnt issues arrise everytime I open the program up. The same issue never happens twice.
However I have tried every day to create and render a simple project and not once have I been successful using tried and true methods.
issues are as follows :
1. Won't import files... wmv, mt2s , mov.... Just a complete freeze, then black screen (must hard restart)
2. Sometimes it will import the files (wmv, mt2s, Mov,) but multi cam editing is useless due to lagging issues.
3. when I can get it to import a file, it will not render that file... I click render and it just Freezes up... goes to black screen (must hard restart)
4. Some times when I hit import files, I get an ewrror saying : files are not compatable format (yet they are files I hae used in the past that have always worked)
the quirkiness makes for a hard issue to ask about. I have written in these community forums several times with these same issues and have yet to get one response .... ??? Is adobe still in Business ???
my gear : Dell studio xps 435 mt , vista 64 bit, i7 2.6ghz, 8gb ddr3 memory , ati radian 4800 series , panasonic ag-hmc150, nikon d5200
steps I have taken to correct :
OPened up hundreds of gigs on hard drive, disk defrag, disk clean up, registry clean, windows defender in full action...
Can some one please help? Or is it time to go mac and final cut pro?perhaps it may be time for me to upgrade, but gosh to go from one day working perfect to the next day not working at all? I would find it highly unlikely that would be the issue. my computer is running current i7 chip, 2.6ghz ... exactly how is this out dated? perhaps vista but seriously would hate to dump money into windaow 8 and find there is still an issue with adobe.... is there perhaps some options you may have for me?

[risolto] pacman community repo
salve,
ho da poco installato archlinux, finora tutto bene,
ma venendo da qualche anno di ubuntu mi mancava un frontend per installare i pacchetti, ho cercato di mettere gtkpackman, ma nei repo community non lo trova anche se sul sito ufficiale dicono che c'è.
stesso problema con l'applet ontv.
in questa discussione: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=20566 dicono che è nei repo, anche se a me da:
pacman -S ontv ftw
ontv package not found, searching for group...
error: 'ontv': not found in sync db
stessa cosa per gtkpackman.
questo è pacman.conf:
cat /etc/pacman.conf
[options]
HoldPkg = pacman glibc
SyncFirst = pacman
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
#CleanMethod = KeepInstalled
[core]
Server = ftp://mi.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/archlinux/core/os/i686
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[community]
Server = ftp://mi.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/archlinux/community/os/i686
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[extra]
Server = ftp://mi.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/archlinux/extra/os/i686
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
#[testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
#[unstable]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
a me sembra strano che core extra e community includono lo stesso file.
ho inserito manualmente i server, ma il risultato non cambia.
cmq è tutto normale?? quei pacchetti dovrebbero esserci o no??
grazie
