Unable to update aur packages

I'm using yaourt to install packages and keep my system up to date. Whenever I run $yaourt -Syu I can update packages from core, extra and community but never aur. Is something wrongly configured?
Any help would be much appreciated.

RTFM, dude
yaourt -Syu --aur is what you're looking for.

[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.

[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!

CiscoWorks LMS 3.2 unable to update device packages

Chaps,
This is a new install of LMS 3.2 with the Campus Manager patched to 5.2.1.
I'm unable to install any new device updates, if I use the GUI and Check for Updates then it says that none are available. The Device Count Type for Campus Manager is 0 although and my 3750X stacks are not supported.
Any ideas?
Jim

Try to install the update manually. Open CLI on the server, navigate to $NMSRoot\bin directory and execute the commands:
1. PSUCli.bat -p cm -dst -download CMDeviceUpdates , On providing cisco.com credentials CMDeviceUpdates.zip will be
downloaded to "\cm" location. For example if is
C:\psu_download then package will be under C:\psu_download\cm.
2. Install the package by executing below command:
PSUCli.bat -p cm -install -src\cm CMDeviceUpdates

[SOLVED] How to update AUR packages?

Hi,
I am new to archlinux. a few days ago i installed my first application from the AUR and now I am wondering: How can i update? I believe that I have to use an AUR helper to do that. Is that correct? And which helper should i use? Any recommendations?
thanx

ok I understand, fetch the tarball again and building it will work. (that already came to my mind actually)
However, for long-term use I kind of want a more convenient solution, so I think I will try cower.
Can anyone tell me how to install cower? At https://github.com/falconindy/cower there is only a zip-file that I can download. The zip file contains the files 'bash_completion', 'config', 'cower.c', 'Makefile', 'README.pod' and 'zsh_completion'. (sorry, but I see no option for including the files in this post) In the README however, there is no information about installation.

and that's the mystery to me. Makepkg finds rtmpd.service when it starts but cannot find it when it's time to package.
Where's it looking ?

The service file is in $srcdir, not $_svnmod/builders/cmake.
You're using an outdated PKGBUILD template too. The svn source should be included in the source array and not checked out manually during the build process.
EDIT: since this repository requires authentication, perhaps the correct format won't work.

I guess the main problem is that it'll take much more time, without any benefits, because the nearest mirror are generally the fastest. Am I wrong ?
Though, there are probably some regions that are not well deserved (not much mirrors, and of poor quality), in this case you might want to extend it a bit. But mirrors at the opposite of the globe are generally not very fast
you'd be surprised. Here in Australia, there's an irish mirror I get great speeds from, despite ireland being literally on the other side of the planet. Yet closer neighbors, like japan, and some south east asian countries, I get terrible speeds.

Updating AUR package jre 7-3 to 7u3-1 prior to pacman -Syu worked for me.
Ended up manually updating jre 7-3 to 7u3-1 as packer said it was up to date.

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?

[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).

[yaourt] update only packages from aur

I just switched from my own aur_update script to yaourt, because it handles dependencies.. But how to only update packages from aur?

Can you do something like this (assuming yaourt supports pacman's "--needed" flag):
yaourt -S --needed $(pacman -Qqm)
If not, you can try bauerbill which does (or at least should) recognize the "--needed" flag.
That just tries to reinstall (and rebuild as we are talking about AUR) all the AUR packages that are installed. Even the ones that doesn't need any updates.

Obviously it doesn't. You're welcome to try bauerbill, which should do what you want using the code above.

Updates/Improvements to AUR packages

I have found that a few AUR packages have not been updated for a while and some need some touching-up. I suspect that in some cases, the package maintainer forgot to orphan the package and isn't checking their email. I know the TUs are busy, so I was wondering if there would be a better way to handle it.
I have re-written my own PKGBUILDS for a few packages that I think other users might find handy, but I have no way of sharing them in AUR without creating a duplicate entry. That got me thinking, why not handle AUR more like a wiki and let any member update a package?

I had the same thought a little while ago, but in the end, SOMEONE needs to be responsible for the package. The ability to collaborate is already available. Submitting patches.
If you think that something like this would work (and there is no technical reason why it couldn't), try setting it up. The PKGBUILD system is very easy (as you already know), and I am sure that you could find a few people here to give it a try. To make it very simple, you could get started with github, and create an open project for several packages.
But in the end you will still need some kind of code review (which is what the individual package maintainers do anyway).
If it sticks, you can claim that you pioneered a the wiki package system.
It works. That's how Ubuntu is built. Ubuntu packages have a general Ubuntu email address. Everyone has access to the packages.
