[REQUEST] emergent

"emergent is a comprehensive closed-loop neural network simulator that allows for the creation and analysis of complex, sophisticated models of the brain in the world."

I've have started the beginnings of the PKGBUILD but don't have the time/experience to finish it:

# Contributor: Gladstone <h2oz7v@gmail.com>

pkgname=emergent-svn
pkgver=4177
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Neural simulation software, modelling the brain and cognitive process."
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://grey.colorado.edu/emergent"
license=('GPL')
depends=('libjpeg' 'libpng' 'qt' 'coin' 'quarter' 'gsl' 'ode' 'libsndfile')
makedepends=('cmake')
source=()
md5sums=()

_svntrunk=http://grey.colorado.edu/svn/emergent/emergent/trunk
_svnmod=emergent
_name=emergent

build()
{
  cd ${startdir}/src
  msg "Connecting to $_svnmod SVN server...."

  if [ -d $_svnmod/.svn ]; then
    (cd $_svnmod && svn up -r $pkgver)
  else
    svn co $_svntrunk $_svnmod -r $pkgver
  fi

  msg "SVN checkout done or server timeout"
  msg "Starting make..."
}

There's also some information on how to build from source.

Re: [REQUEST] emergent

When I tried to build Emergent, I saw that this package is out-of-dated and its installation is not working properly. I could maintain it if you haven't time (or patience or whatever) to do this. Anyway, here is the (working and updated) PKGBUILD I have made for myself, just for the case you still want to update the old one in AUR:

# Mainteiner:     nlight    <alexander.dzhoganov@gmail.com>
# Old mainteiner: Gladstone <h2oz7v@gmail.com>

pkgname=emergent-svn
pkgver=4968
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Comprehensive, full-featured neural network simulator that allows for the creation and analysis of complex, sophisticated models of the brain in the world."
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://grey.colorado.edu/emergent"
license=('GPL')
depends=('libjpeg' 'libpng' 'qt' 'coin' 'quarter' 'gsl' 'ode' 'termcap')
makedepends=('cmake')

build()
{
  cd $srcdir
  msg "Connecting to $pkgname SVN server..."

  if [ -d $pkgname-$pkgver/.svn ]; then
    cd $pkgname-$pkgver
    svn update
  else
  svn checkout --username anonymous --password emergent \
      http://grey.colorado.edu/svn/emergent/emergent/trunk $pkgname-$pkgver
  fi

  msg "SVN checkout done"
  msg "Starting make..."
  cd $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver
  cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/
  make
}

package()
{
  cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"
  make prefix=/usr DESTDIR="$pkgdir/" install
}

@juliano.bn
Pastebin the updated PKGBUILD and post a link on the AUR page. The package was only recently flagged out-of-date so maybe the maintainer will update it.

If the maintainer doesn't respond within a couple of days, send him an email. If he still doesn't respond, send an email to aur-general and one of the TUs will orphan the package so you can adopt it.
