Adding perl as a build input to util-linux-ng
by Peter Simons 08 Jul '11

08 Jul '11

Hi guys, is anyone aware of a reason why perl should *not* be passed as a build input to util-linux-ng (other than the fact that doing so would trigger a re-build of stdenv)? Assuming that making the change would be okay, where could I make it? Is the stdenv-updates branch still active? Take care, Peter

Starting to help
by Fabio Riga 01 Jul '11

01 Jul '11

Hi all, yesterday I submitted a patch to HABS repository just because I met some out-of-date packages in AUR. Then I read the "story" of this group in this mailing list and thought that I can give some help. I think I can take responsibility for a bunch of packages and care for updates, but I need some hints. 1) In order to test for broken packages, do I really need to use the makeworld script? I think it would take too much time! I would prefer to simply compile what I use, also to find if makepkg can resolve dependencies. Launching makeworld in another directory with only my packages would do the job? 2) Past discussions suggest me that the group is centred on a small number of packages to put in a binary repository. It's wonderful to have this, but it takes a very long time. What do you think if some people concentrate in the simplest and fastest task of preparing PKGBUILDs and put them in a place (i.e. AUR) where the core group decide witch package worth an inclusion in the repo? Haskell repository would actually be an expanded and specialised version of Community repo. Anyway I'd prefer the mainter to be the group, not a single. That's only my opinion, of course. 3) For Peter: could you please give some help information on how to use the scripts in https://github.com/peti/arch-haskell/tree/master/scripts ? 4) Why haskell packages in extra depends on ghc-7.0.3 (still in testing)? Tha's all for now. Sorry for my bad English! Cheers Fabio
