Searching for AUR packages with "%" queries

According to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR#Searching it is possible to use mysql LIKE queries to search for a package. But I can't find packages if I use queries with "%".
For example, when I try to search for firefox%spell or firefox%spell%, I get nothing.
I expected those queries would return the same results as firefox-spell.
The question is: do LIKE queries work (or do I use them wrong)?

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).

Craete AUR package with no url in PKGBUILD ?

Hi.
I am trying to create a package for AUR.
The package is just a script installed to /usr/local/bin
it has no url as the script is included (as source)
how can I create a package with no 'url' - when I try to upload to AUR is says I needed a url section
I created one with
url=()
but then I get (when submitting package)
'Package URL is missing a protocol (ie. http:// ,ftp://)'
Can anyone help upload an AUR package (with no ur) ?
Cheers !

Just open a thread here for the package and link it in the PKGBUILD, like this package:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41689
UPDATE - Sorry, not that one, that is recursive
This one is a better example:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32483

Problem with searching for 'empty' emails with BAPI_BUPA_SEARCH

Dear ABAP'ers.
I have got a small problem with BAPI_BUPA_SEARCH.
I Use this BAPI to search for Business Partners with the Email condition.
I put rhe Email to lv_email variable, it works ok.
    lv_email = ' '
    CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_BUPA_SEARCH'
      EXPORTING
        email = lv_email
      TABLES
        searchresult = lt_searchresult   <= returns no BuPas
        return       = ls_bapiret2 .
But I need to have a possibility to search for such Business Partners who have got no email address. Unfortunatellu when I pass an empty lv_email to BAPI, it returns no Business Partners whilst such BuPas exist in database.
Is there some possibility to search for those BuPas who have got no email address assigned?
I will be thankful for help.

Is it possible to search for multiple folders with the same name and then select them all and change the permissions on just those folders .i.e. Search for the budget folders in all client folders and lock them down to just the project managers. Without having to go to each folder and apply the permissions.

Is RoboHelp for Word packaged with RoboHelp 11?

Is RoboHelp for Word packaged with RoboHelp 11?

No. The last version to include Rh for Word was Rh10. Is there a specific reason for wanting to stick with Rh for Word? There is a learning curve with Rh HTML but it shouldn't be too difficult.

Problem in app search for us store with ios 6 .

Hi ,
I developed an application which is available on all countries , But while searching for the app with app name in us store . It does not list the application on the first page , it show the application on second page Instead it shows a similar name recomendations and ask user to search that app instead on first page.
It seems to users that there is no such application exist with this name so they ommit the application.
But on all other store it show application without any issue 0
Please help me with this issue , I dont added my application name in the keyword list .

Whether an older compatible version of the app is available in the store depends upon whether the developer of the app has made it available. As far as I know the app needs to be in your purchase history for it to work i.e. it is only via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on the device that you will get the prompt as to whether to download an older compatible version (if one is available), not from the main part of the store.

Search for a file with part of a filename in a given folder.

How can I search for a file with part of a filename in a given folder?
Or can I change the columns in Advanced Search so that the heading is filename?

thanks, Michel. it had occurred to me to put a scratch tag on the folder, but I was hoping for an easier way. in future I'll do as you suggest though, because it's easier than what I have been doing.

Download all your AUR packages with a script

Here's a little quickie that will download all your scripts to the current working directory. Uses ruby and requires the hpricot gem. Also requires cower, install it from the AUR. This is still pretty early, so it isn't very robust, but as long as you provide it with a valid username and the current directory is empty, you're good
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'open-uri'
require 'hpricot'
abort "Usage: " + File.basename(__FILE__) + " username\n" if $*.count != 1
sourceHtml = Hpricot(open("http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O=0&K=#{$*[0]}&do_Search=Go&detail=0&C=0&SeB=m&SB=v&SO=d&PP=10000"))
packages = sourceHtml.search("//a[@href^='packages.php?ID=']/span/text()").map { |package| package.to_s.sub(/ .*/, '') }
packages.sort.each { |package| puts `cower -d #{package}` }
Three lines of code for the grunt work. Amazing, isn't it?

It is much shorter when you use the rpc interface.
username=xduugu; curl -Ss 'https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc.php?type=msearch&arg='"$username" | sed 's/},{/\n/g' | sed -r 's#.*"URLPath":"([^"]+)".*#\1#g;s#\\/#/#g' | wget -B https://aur.archlinux.org/ -i -

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.

[SOLVED] How to install AUR packages with patchname.patch

Hi all,
I'm trying to install lottanzb from the AUR and there's are a dependency called par2cmdline 0.4-13 that has a lot of nameofpatch.patch that are included in the AUR par2cmdline 0.4-13 package page that just open up to a url that shows code.
I created patch files from the code displayed in the url with a text editor and added them to the extracted LOTTANZB folder in my build directory but when I go to build the package with PKGBUILD it runs through a check sum while building and the checks don't match.
I'm obviously doing something fundamentally wrong here. Can someone direct me?
Thanks,

Hi, thanks for reply.
Sorry, my mistake.
I did place patch files inside the par2cmdline-0.4 folder. The only reason I created the .patch files and placed them inside par2cmdline-0.4 folder was because the PKGBUILD as well as the other 5 .patch files didn't exist inside the extracted build folder. They only place I could find them was in AUR par2cmdline-0.4 displayed as a url.
When I copied and created the PKGBUILD as it did not exist inside the extracted folder par2cmdline-0.4 folder I received the following error:-
Error autoconf.patch was not found in the build directory and is not a url. That along with 4 others do not exist in the build directory.
You can see this bellow:-

How do I search for a song with the name I typed on my iPhone?

I run into this a lot and it is extremely frustrating. I want to find a song like "Menuetti", but the search results end up with hundreds of variations of "Menuetto". Even though I know Menuetti is there somewhere, I can't find the song I am looking for because there is so much garbage returned. Is there any way to get the iTunes store to return the few songs with the name I asked for rather than the hundreds with the name I did not?

You can choose what it searches and where

In Lr 3.6 how can I search for filenames ending with a # character ?

The text search seems to treat the # character in some mysterious way so as to not select the files that have it in their name. I cannot find any explanation for this in the documentation. Is there some other character(s) that I have to put beside the # to make it register as a normal character ?
My specific problem is that I need to locate a bunch of files in my catalog that have names ending with a # character. I want to rename those files in a way that removes the trailing # but not other # characters that separate key parts of the file names. If I can't do that then I want to select that group of files and produce .xmp files for them (I don't normally use .xmp files) so that I can rename the files outside Lr and import them again complete with all previous tweaks and metadata.
I dare say that I would not choose to name files this way if I started again but I've got far too many to change now.
There are also too many for me to want to rename them individually in the Metadata panel if I can avoid it.
I'm using Lr 3.6 on Mac OSX 10.6.8
cheers,
- Alan

You guys beat me to the answer, which I discovered more by accident than good management.
Firstly, I had used the # characters because they looked good in list views such as in Windows Explorer or the Mac Finder. That was from before I got into using Lr and I was trying and using several different programs to manage my photos. Then I found that trailing # characters prevented Lr from recognizing the number at the "end" of the file name and so I wanted to delete them.
Secondly, I got into the Lr rename facility initially to replace what I did with Downloader Pro before switching from Windows to Mac and subsequently found that there is no way to delete a trailing character, but it helped establish in my mind that to Lr the "filename" was just the first part of the name before the full stop and the extension (e.g. .cr2 or .nef or .jpg). Try it - there is a "filename" token for setting up a naming structure that ignores the extension and its full stop.
This was further reinforced in Library Grid View where the filename and the extension are separated and the extension is not displayed.
So having used F2 (rename) before I got around to playing with the text search I was set up for failure. Looking for {filename ends with #} or {filename ends with #.} failed because it found nothing as none of my files had a # or #. after the filename extension, and looking for {filename contains #} also failed because it found all of my files instead of just those with the trailing #. I wrongly thought that Lr had trouble seeing a # in the text search.
Now I have been able to find and select all files with a trailing # in the base part of the filename by looking for {filename contains #.} and generate current .xmp files for them. Then I went outside Lr and used a utility file renamer to get rid of the offending # for the image files and the .xmp files in bulk. Then I re-synchronized the folder(s) in Lr to import those renamed files back into Lr along with all of the metadata, and get rid of the old files from the catalog. Had those files been a part of a collection or stack then I suspect that membership of the collection or stack would have been lost but it kept the keywords, ratings, labels, and image tweaks. Then I got rid of the .xmp files again because I prefer to work without them (less clutter and less chance of other software separating them from the image files).
So much easier than doing it the hard way
Thanks for your help.

[CS3 JS] How to search for accented letters with GREP

Hello,
In the following script I have two words, each that has an accented letter. It appears that neither in the script nor in the Find and Replace dialog that GREP will recognize words with accents. It will replace accented characters however. I can do a search for words with no accents but that will lead to trouble when I only want to change the word if it has an accent.
Any advice would be great!
Tom
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var rawWordsAccented = ["André","Barrës"]; //find these words
var rawWordsAccentedDHyphens = ["~-Andr\\x{00E9}","~-Barr\\x{00EB}s"]; //replacement words
for(var k =0; rawWordsAccented.length > k; k++){
    var numWords = theGrepChanger(myDoc,rawWordsAccented[k],rawWordsAccentedDHyphens[k]);
    }//end for k
function theGrepChanger(docRef,grepFindIt,grepChangeIt){
    app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
    app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = grepFindIt;
    app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = grepChangeIt;
    var arrGrepFindIt = myDoc.changeGrep();
    return arrGrepFindIt;
}//end theGrepFinder

John, perhaps it works in CS5 but not in CS3.
Peter, the problem is not in the replacement word or looping through that array backwards or forwards. The problem is finding a word with an accented character using the GREP mode.
In using the Find/Replace dialog I cannot find André. Nor Andr\x{00E9}, using Unicode. So if the dialog won't work it appears a script won't work. If I use "Andre" in the Search field it will find "Andre" and "André."
However I did find that if I change the GREP function in the script to the text mode I can find only words with accented characters and then replace them to my heart's content.
Tom
function theTextChanger(docRef,textFindIt,textChangeIt){
    app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
    app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
    app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = textFindIt;
    app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = textChangeIt;
    var arrTextFindIt = myDoc.changeText();
    return arrTextFindIt;
}//end theTextChanger

How to search for multiple values with Bex Prompts

Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to search for multiple values at the same time with Bex Prompts instead of searching one value at a time (please see the screen shot below). I searched the forum couldn't find any relevant answers. please let me know how to achieve?
Thanks,
Charvi.

Hi Charvi,
You can use wild card search to ensure you get multiple similar values listed as search output.use * for multiple characters and ? for single character.
For Example, Ravi * would result you all employees with first name as Ravi
You can use various search formats such as * Ravi * and * Ravi and Ra?? etc.
Thanks
