submitting a blacklisted package to aur4

Hi!

I've been maintaining the intel-parallel-studio-xe package and when I tried to migrate this package to aur4 I got the following error:

remote: error: package is blacklisted: intel-tbb
remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
To ssh://aur@aur4.archlinux.org/intel-parallel-studio-xe.git
 ! [remote rejected] master -> (hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://aur@aur4.archlinux.org/intel-parallel-studio-xe.git'

It seems that there is a package that is in the extra repo that is conflicting.  The aggravating part is that package is out of date and orphaned while my version has been maintained.  My temporary solution was to push everything else (excluding intel-tbb) to aur4.

I'm not even sure this is the correct place to post this issue so any help is appreciated.

Re: submitting a blacklisted package to aur4

I've been maintaining the intel-parallel-studio-xe package

There is no such package by that name on the "old" AUR.

There is a package called intel-tbb in both extra/ and the AUR though, which is a bit of a slip up. This shouldn't happen. You can't submit a package with the same name as one in the official repositories.

Sorry for the confusion.

intel-parallel-studio-xe is the name of the package base which contains intel-tbb as well as the result of the intel parallel studio suite.

Okay, try removing (or renaming, if it's different to the one in extra) the intel-tbb package from the PKGBUILD.

I actually did what you suggested already.  That was what I meant in my temporary solution.  However, I don't think this is a good long term solution.

Re: submitting a blacklisted package to aur4

Ah, sorry, I didn't see that you'd already done that. Unfortunately that is the only solution -- as previously mentioned, you shouldn't have been able to maintain a package with the same name as a package in one of the official repositories in the first place. Somehow your PKGBUILD on the old AUR fell through the cracks, but it seems the new AUR (rightly) prevents you uploading it.

Re: submitting a blacklisted package to aur4

How would I go about adopting the package in the extra repo because it is currently orphaned and out of date.  The other packages depend upon intel-tbb.

Re: submitting a blacklisted package to aur4

Rename your package, or open a bug report.

It looks as though a few extra/community packages depend on intel-tbb, so unless they a) can be rebuilt without intel-tbb, or b) all get dropped to the AUR, it's unlikely that intel-tbb will be removed from extra.

Re: submitting a blacklisted package to aur4

Thanks for the advice!

I changed my package's name to intel-tbb_psxe and added

provides=("intel-tbb")

This will work I just find it to be a little sloppy.
