[solved] have to update my aur package

One of my aur package, lib32-libva, was in the need to be be updated.
I've already uploaded my aur packages to aur4 some days ago, so now, has long as i understood, if i update the old "aur" domain package, the change will never be reflected to the new aur4.
So i've updated it via git only to aur4, but the change is not visible to the "old" aur domain.
Is this supposed to happen?
Did i do it right?
Am i supposed to update the old aur packages manually?
Thanks and sorry if those questions has already been answered.

I think It is supposed to be so, you have to update the packages on both domains. From this email announcing the AUR 4.0.0 pre-alpha release
AUR package maintainers are then asked to upload their packages
to aur-dev.archlinux.org and co-maintain them on aur.archlinux.org and
the Git repository on aur-dev.archlinux.org for some time (roughly four
weeks).

[Solved] Cant install\compile certain AUR packages

This is a brand new 32-bit build on my laptop. Everything is working great, but for some reason I cant get some AUR packages. I have Yaourt, pacman-color, and slock installed from AUR and working fine, but I cant get mpd-git or mplayer-svn installed? I have gcc, python installed and tried both root and user accounts. Not sure what is missing. This is a new dual core laptop so not sure why I am getting the CPU errors below?

[SOLVED] can't build an AUR package while installing Arch

So I am nearly there installing Arch for the first time. And I will start with saying that I am really sorry if I missed the answer to my problem but I have had a look around the documentation and the general webz for something regarding this problem and haven't found anything.
I am trying to set my wireless connection up but I apparently need the AUR b43-firmware package installed for my Broadcom BCM4322 [14e4:432b] to be functional.
So I follow the documentation to install an AUR package, but I am stuck at the building stage as makepkg does not allow me to build if I am root, and I am root by default while installing/configuring Arch...
What should I do to build and install that package so I have a wireless connection later on?
Cheers
Last edited by chtfn (2015-03-21 14:11:12)

I am connected to the wired network, and I followed the steps to make it persistent for later, but I just wanted to go through the wireless stuff too to be extra sure I will be able to connect to the Internet later on. As it is the first time I install Arch, I am trying to be extra cautious, and having that security would make me feel more comfortable! Plus, I am keen to learn how to do those things from the command line.
Isn't there a way to switch to a normal user just for a command, and automatically reverting back to root when that action is finished? Just like sudo but the other way round

[SOLVED] What are Git-type AUR packages?

I read the ArchWiki Entry on Git, but I still don't really understand what it is in terms of Aur packages.
I've seen this a couple of times, where there's a second git version of a package in AUR. For example, when I type 'prey' into Yaourt, I get a couple of results, among them:
3 aur/prey-git 20100424-1 (5)
Prey is a lightweight application that will help you track and find your laptop if it ever gets stolen.
4 aur/prey-tracker 0.6.0-1 (100)
Remote tracking and monitoring application for laptops, smartphones, and other electronic devices
Either would install Prey on my computer, right? What are the differences and/or benefits of either?

You can always e-mail the maintainer and if you don't get a response in two weeks, ask on the AUR ML to take that package over.
In the meantime you can post a link to the updated PKGBUILD etc. in comments on the AUR page of that package.
As with my posts, quantity != quality ;P

[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.

You should focus your Google searches to the forum

[solved] Can no longer untar AUR packages with tar xvf /directory/

For about a year now I've used this line of code from my .bash_aliases file to untar files from their source directory to the one I am currently CDed in at that moment:
alias tarx='tar xvf' # extracts files from a tarball using tar [e]x[tract] v[erbose] f[orced]
This alias failed to work a few weeks ago for some unknown reason and now spits out this error:
tarx /media/aur/srcpackages/atom-editor.tar.gz ./

I seem to have a larger problem on my desktop machine. When I try to untar stuff on that one it creates a .cache directory for some weird reason and populates it with, I think, cached files from my home directory. It ends up having firefox, mc and other cached files in the new directory and then tar just errors out with:
gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Very odd behaviour and I'm assuming some config file somewhere is responsible for this behaviour. But where else can I look apart from .bashrc?
@ids1024, I'll do what you've what you suggested on my netbook later today and record the information to post afterward.
[edit] Here are the contents of that .cache directory, if it helps:

[SOLVED]openstudio is a new AUR package, requesting review of PKGBUILD

Hi,
I have been working on a simple desktop environment for Arch Linux, called OpenStudio.se . This is the first time I have made a PKGBUILD and it would be great if anyone with some more experience could help me verify that the PKGBUILD is correct. I have tested it on both x86_64 and x86 systems and it works well and the package installs correctly with pacman.

Thank you very much for the input Stefan. I will update the PKGBUILD according to your suggestions.
About the empty dir /etc/openstudio
The openstudio package contains a system configure script. When executed this script will set-up some global config files (shared for all users) in this dir. The reason why I created it already during installation is because I do want it to be removed if you decide to remove the openstudio package. The reason why it is empty at the beginning is because I do not want to over-write its content when openstudio package is upgraded.
Maybe there is another standard way of solving this kind of issue, but to avoid the error you mentioned about an empty dir I made sure an info file is copied to the dir during install.

[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.

first, I'm going to run it thru the motions on my 32bit and x86_64 arch installs to test it
as I already have compiled it successfully, and now want to package it,etc
thanks for all your help!
PS
I also have to make a AUR package for the linux-live-6.30_x86 and linux-live-6.3.0x86_64 remaster kits which this kernel is meant for
and gotta figure out how to do that too...

Unable to update or install packages in pacaur

Hello All!
I have been using pacaur for a well over a year and have loved it. Yesterday, I started to run into an issue where I was unable to install or update any AUR packages using pacur. I looked online and didn't see anyone who was running into the same issue as I was. I have a gist that shows the output of:
bash -x pacaur -Syu
Does anyone have any suggestions for resolving this issue?
Thanks in advance!

Thank you so much for your help. Spyhawk, I found your previous post here. I tried using the --ignore flag with the chef and ruby-mime-types packages, but that didn't work. I finally went and manually installed the chef aur package and all its dependencies. Still, when I go to update my system with pacaur, it doesn't work. Here is the new output. Any further ideas?

Did I install the AUR packages correctly and safely ?

Hello
I'm interested in several packages in AUR, but to be honest, it's the first time that I install an AUR pkg without using the yaourt frontend.
I just installed archey, I tried to follow the wiki but I would like to know if I followed all the steps correctly or not...
I've done:
sudo pacman -S fakeroot
wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/archey/archey.tar.gz
wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/archey/archey/PKGBUILD
makepkg -s
[makepkg -s installed git, and perl-error through pacman I supposed]
sudo pacman -U archey-20100704-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
My questions are:
1] I've done "sudo pacman -U archey-20100704-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz" but the wiki said "$ pacman -U /path/to/pkg.tar.gz" => because the prompt said something like "only root can perform this action" when I was not using sudo
2] After the installation, I've done "pacman -Qdt" and it appeared that git, and perl-error were not longer used, so I removed them => Is it a mistake ?
3] How can I update the AUR packages when a newer version will be released ?
Sorry for my english, and thank you for helping me understanding

Thank you Allan:

In fact, I wanted to say: How can I update the packages installed in my computer from AUR (example: archey) when the maintainer will update his program ?
Thanks again, it's nice to learn news things about Arch, AUR, and Linux ^^
Read what Allan said again.
You want an AUR helper, like packer, clyde or bauerbill, for example. ;)

AUR packages moved?

I have a simple shell script that i created years ago to update my AUR packages using wget. Starting about a week ago i started getting this error for everything:
--2012-11-02 08:43:43-- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/virtualgl/virtualgl.tar.gz
Resolving aur.archlinux.org (aur.archlinux.org)... 2a01:4f8:120:34c2::2, 78.46.78.247
Connecting to aur.archlinux.org (aur.archlinux.org)|2a01:4f8:120:34c2::2|:443... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found
2012-11-02 08:43:43 ERROR 404: Not Found.
The command i use is this:
wget --no-check-certificate https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/$pkg/$pkg.tar.gz
Have the packages moved or had their name format changed? I read in some other posts that something had been changed due to some sort of hardware issues, but the solution seemed to be to use https instead of http, which i was already doing. Is this something that will get resolved on its own, or is there something i can do differently to access the packages?

You're missing part of the path. Check the AUR page for virtualgl. The correct path that works for me today is:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vi/virtualgl/virtualgl.tar.gz
I use this wget code (as part of an alias I stole from DSpider):
wget -q "https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/${1:0:2}/$1/$1.tar.gz"
This alias has worked for several months, so I don't think this is a recent change, but I could be wrong.
65kid, I use a "hacked together" alias instead of a pre-built helper because it's simpler and it helps me understand the process.
(edited to remove "correct" from the path description)

[SOLVED] yaourt how to update aur packages

Hi!
I got a quick question. I thought that yaourt is able to update old packages installed from Aur automatically.
So for example I type as usually yaourt -Syu --aur but I noticed it doesn't show AUR packages I can update. Only from core/extra/community
For example I just typed:
yaourt yaourt
1 aur/yaourt 0.9.2.6-1 [0.9.2.5-1 installed] (2406)
and see that I can update yaourt. I have other packages installed from AUR, how do I know that a newer version is available without checking it manually?
edit:
so I am happy to mark it as solved. It wasn't a bug, but it is a way how yaourt works.
yaourt -Syu --aur shows packages from core/extra/community.
If I press Y (to install them). It shows a list again with the information how much to download and install and then after pressing "No" to install them, yaourt continues to check AUR packages in this case.
Julien MISCHKOWITZ, the developer said he could change the behavior
Thanks everyone for the attention!

Thank you shining. I have opened a ticket there. Lets wait, I hope they can help!

[Solved] Permissions issues when updating AUR package.

Hi there,
Today i was trying to update some of my AUR packages, but all I got is "Error - all files must have permissions of 644 or 755."
It isn't very clear to me, i've changed all the files/directories permissions and i'm still getting this error so I gave up, i don't know what's going on, i've doing the same package process for a while with no problems.
I can see the SRC file is compressed as root (root/root), I did a fresh Arch install three days ago to use all my hard disk drive (i was dualbooting), so I don't know if that could be the problem, I've changed my user's primary group anyways.
- https://pastebin.osuosl.org/14606/
EDIT*
I don't know why some of my backup files had 400 and 755 persmissions, i changed back to 644, i did it before... and it didn't work...

The source files must have 644 or 755 permissions. In your first paste, the source files have 777 permissions.
