Aur Packages?

Where can I dowload all the packages (pkgname.pkg.tar.gz)???
AUR only shows me where to download the source, pkgbuild-file,...

This is very weird...

Re: Aur Packages?

For packages in unsupported, that's all that exists - PKGBUILD and related files.  We don't make binary packages for those ones.

However, the TUs take certain popular packages into [community], which is a binary repo, and can be enabled in /etc/pacman.conf

Re: Aur Packages?

In case you're wondering, "popular" means in the region of 25 votes - so if there's something you'd like to see in community, get voting. smile

Re: Aur Packages?

And if you want to build packages from AUR in a semi-automated fashion, you can use the aurbuild tool... which is in AUR.

Re: Aur Packages?

You can grab the .pkg.tar.gz files for the binary packages from any of the mirror ftp servers.

Re: Aur Packages?

/var/abs/community/system/aurbuild

Just a matter of hours/days and it's even pacman'able.

Hm?  I thought the TUs as a whole agreed that it wouldn't be going into community due to certain things that have been discussed tons of times... who's adopting this?

Apparantly phrakture put it in a while ago, but clearly it's not uploaded.  Nothing to see here folks...

These are not the droids you're looking for....

Re: Aur Packages?

Yes. But today it has been added to the abs tree. So I assume someone has tagged it or ran communitypkg. :?

Re: Aur Packages?

build() in a PKGBUILD runs .configure, make and make install and makepkg wraps the result up to create a package that you must install yourself.

After a fresh abs run, /var/abs/community/system got cleaned again.

That's because aurbuild (and other packages) had been added to abs by mistake. It has been corrected by a TU.

Re: Aur Packages?

Actually, I had to clean up because the update daemon was choking and wimping out on packages that didn't exist ... same thing tongue
