Why some AUR packages do not have .xz file after makepkg?

I am trying to install the following package:
usb-creator
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/usb-creator/
But when I used makepkg -S it did not give me any file with .xz to install it using pacman -U
Am I missing some packages related to .xz generation?

I think you should use -s switch, not -S.
From man makepkg:
-s, --syncdeps
           Install missing dependencies using pacman. When build-time or
           run-time dependencies are not found, pacman will try to resolve
           them. If successful, the missing packages will be downloaded and
           installed.
-S, --source
           Do not actually build the package, but build a source-only tarball
           that does not include sources that can be fetched via a download
           URL. This is useful for passing a single tarball to another program
           such as a chroot, remote builder, or a tarball upload. Because
           integrity checks are verified, all source files of the package need
           to be present or downloadable.

  • Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?

    I bought an iPad Mini and also have a macbook. I had listened to various music on my iPad Mini the other day, however when I connected the iPad Mini to the Macbook and iTunes via the lightning connector to sync, it synced the ratings I gave the songs I listened to on the mini, but no play count, as if I had not listened to anything. I hope there is something I can do about this as I often look at my play count!!

    It should work work but these kind of bugs pop up between updates, both hardware and software. Try closing all apps in the recently used list on the iPad. Double tap the Home button, tap and hold one of the icons at the bottom till they wiggle then tap the to close them. Tap the Home button to get back to the Home screen then hold the sleep button till you see the slide to power off message. Once it has powered down completely hold the Sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

    Does it even really matter...?
    Many people including myself rely on playcounts to control smart playlist to manage large libraries. Smart playlists can be created to show your most or least played tracks and used more or less as your favorites or other uses. Along with playcounts the date is transferred so to keep a fresh list of music on my smaller iPods a smart playlist set to songs not played in the last month keeps some fresh tunes on it.
    Playcounts are also used to manage Podcasts in iTunes to delete older episode. Bookmarks, which can also be effected by this, can mess up audiobooks, movies and podcast playback between different devices. So yes, it does matter.

    why does my new ipad2 not have ios5 or icloud ?

  • Unable to load the package as XML because of package does not have a valid XML format

    I have SSIS package and I would like to let SQL Server Agent Job to run it.
    However I get Unable to load the package as XML because of package does not have a valid XML format
    What could be wrong?
    Kenny_I

    Hi Kenny,
    What's the version of your SSIS? Please refer to the following methods to solve this issue:
    Hard code the path of SQL Server 2008's DTEXEC while calling the SSIS package as shown below:
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn\DTEXEC.exe /F "D:\MyFolder\MyPackage.dtsx"
    Rename the old exe in the 2005 path to a different name (Example:- C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn\DTEXEC_Old.exe)
    Go to PATH environmental variable and edit it in such a way that "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn" path appears well before the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn" path.
    For more detail information, please refer to the blog below:
