[Announcement] First public git repo of the complete AUR

Dead project ?

By the way, are you guys also having huge time for pulls ? I have a midrange hard drive ant it takes several minutes to merge.

Also, I sometimes do git clean -fdx, git says "Removing xxxx/src/" but when I check it has not been deleted. Git bug ?

Let us know how it goes, I don't follow the lists but I'm very motivated to get this back online.

Stuff is starting to stagnate horribly. Is there any other way to download the whole AUR? If I could do that then I would mirror it to git myself.

I have just become aware of this issue right now,

I will provide an update by EOD today

update 1:
I have found the reason for the breakage.
Rsync was failing because the servers got moved and the permissions to rsync from pkgbuild.com where not migrated.

Currently working on getting rsync permission.

update 2:
fixed the rsync issue, everything should be back to working order

Thanks, tk. This is a vital addition to the AUR.

dodo3773 · 2013-01-20 19:04:27

Is this still syncing? I tried sudo aur and it said "Already up-to-date" but it has been at least a few days or so.

Edit: Looking at the commit log on pkgbuild.com looks like there hasn't been a commit in about four days. I will wait for the next one to find out if I'm having any issues.

Gotcha. Thanks graysky. I will wait for reply.

dodo3773 · 2013-01-22 03:07:14

Seems to be back in business. Syncing again.

dodo3773 · 2013-04-01 06:34:15

I just realized that instead of removing the PKGBUILDs for aur packages that do not exist anymore they seem to be staying there and this just gets bigger and bigger. Is that the intended behavior? Is there something I configured wrong on my end? I tried deleting /var/aur and then running sudo aur again to repopulate it but there are still numerous PKGBUILDs for packages that are no longer on the aur.

Even if they were deleted they would still take up space in the git database. I kind of like that they are still there because I have brought a few back to life that I wouldn't have known had ever existed. Although I guess technically they should be deleted. They would still exist in the git history although a bit harder to search for that way.

Maybe you could add a file to the directory, like ~removed when you detect a deleted package. If a package is readded, remove that file again.

Okay let me give you an example of what I mean:

$ yaourt -Ss dolphin-emu
community/dolphin-emu 1:3.5-3
    A Gamecube / Wii / Triforce Emulator
aur/dolphin-emu-git 20130316-1
    A GameCube / Wii / Triforce emulator

$ ls /var/aur | grep dolphin-emu
dolphin-emu/
dolphin-emu-git/
dolphin-emu-no-svn-config-dir-svn/
dolphin-emu-svn/
dolphin-emu-svn-bin/

@tomd123

Is this the intended action? Is there any way to change the /usr/bin/aur script to change this on my end?

tomd123 · 2013-04-06 04:12:41

@dodo3773

you can view the code for the sync script at:
https://github.com/gostrc/aurgit/blob/m … ate-aur.sh

I guess that is the behavior of the script but it is not ideal

Are you in charge of this upstream / any plans to consider changing this behavior?

Yuras · 2013-04-18 12:14:54

I think it could be a good idea to add mention in wiki that it's not necessary to download all history if somebody don't want to by adding --depth 1 in git clone command. It will reduce size of downloading content to ~100 mb.

Yes I am, I have no plans on changing it currently due to lack of time, right now, I am just maintaining.

dodo3773 · 2013-05-20 16:13:58

Okay gotcha. I looked at that script and I admit I do not completely understand it. If anyone else following this thread does please explain to me how this can be changed to only download current aur entries please.

Have you tried Yuras' advice?

What do you need a copy of all these AUR packages for?

I deleted my /var/aur folder and added "--depth 1" to the end of the git clone command in the aur script. But then when I run sudo aur it still gives me packages that aren't on the aur. As to your other question I use this package for my zsh completion scripts. So I can use tab completion with aur wrapper like how pacman does on repo packages. It's very convenient for me.

vadmium · 2013-08-05 02:05:45

Currently the http://pkgbuild.com/ web server seems to be down; both port 80 and 443 are refusing connections. A clone using the Git protocol just worked for me and has up to date commits but it meant I downloaded 291 MB of history and waited for it to finish cloning just to look at the history of a particular package. Any news on what’s going on with the web server?

I believe the updates have stopped several days ago:

I should have done that; I emailed Tom privately.
