Hey guys, Aura has been updated to point to AUR4. Enjoy!

Thanks  a lot - that's very helpful! One question, though: What will happen on/after August 8th when AUR4 will be moved to aur.archlinux.org?

Re: Aura - 4.0.4 - The Multilingual Package Manager

I'll switch the URL endpoints internally, and release 1.3.2.1 to force the update for everyone.

Re: Aura - 4.0.4 - The Multilingual Package Manager

I know that aura doesn't (and, never will) support bash expansion - been stated a few times. So, how do we get around packages that are using it, like wine-staging? They're slowly increasing in number, it seems.

$ aura -A wine-staging
aura >>= Determining dependencies...
aura >>= Dependency checking failed for these reasons:
The dependency `autoconf[@]}` could not be found. You may need to search for a package to satisfy it.

Re: Aura - 4.0.4 - The Multilingual Package Manager

aura should read the information from .SRCINFO which should contain the necessary information in plaintext.
Edit: The wine-staging PKGBUILD should be migrated to architecture-specific variables instead of the if/else blocks, too.

The interesting thing is I don't see this in my desktop box, but do see it on one of my VMs. One works fine and other doesn't. Config is basically the same as they are from the same clone. =/

Re: Aura - 4.0.4 - The Multilingual Package Manager

That's one of my main complaints with AUR helpers. The aurweb software is available and yet most helpers have the URL hard coded and not in an option. There was a discussion on the AUR mailing list regarding the API transmitting the AUR item URL for cases like this. Compiling a second binary for a different URL is not a big deal, but I am a fan of generic software not tailored to a service.

Re: Aura - 4.0.4 - The Multilingual Package Manager

Hey everyone, Aura has been updated to 1.3.2.1. It includes fixes for a breaking bug that prevented `-A` operations from working.

You will likely need to update aura manually. You can try:

1. `aura -Aw aura-bin` (if you prefer aura-bin, as many do)
2. Untar the tarball.
3. Enter the `aura-bin` directory.
4. `makepkg`
5. `aura -U <the long package name that just got made>`

Enjoy!

Is the link down for the tar file?   'aura -Aw aura-bin' doesnt result in a file.  Nothing happens. 

Just checking!

Thanks.

Re: Aura - 4.0.4 - The Multilingual Package Manager

aura 1.3.3 released! This fixes some API problems, as well as introduces improvements to the Bash parser, meaning more packages should build.

Re: Aura - 4.0.4 - The Multilingual Package Manager

Is there a way to make Aura use aria2 to download package source from the source url's listed in PKGBUILD?

I am referring to using the equivalent of:

% pacman -Sp nameofpackage | aria2c -i -

This can ve bery useful when one has an unstable network connection or the download mirror is either strongly throttled or very slow, causing aura to fail (just as pacman would fail.)

This just occured to me on an AUR package.
I had to download the source (not the AUR tarball but the source of the package itself) using aria2 and modify the PKGBUILD source url to use the locally downloaded file in order to build.

It would be very useful if one could use an equivalent of the pacman command above to tell aura to use aria2, from time to time.

If not possible to make it available for aura 1+, perhaps include it in aura 2?

PS  The source for the above pacman command piped to aria2 comes from here.

Re: Aura - 4.0.4 - The Multilingual Package Manager

Just a heads up to others, check your aura-bin / aura version. I just noticed yesterday that I was stuck on aura-bin-1.3.2.1, resolved by manually updating to 1.3.4. The old version saw no updates to aura-bin or other packages yesterday, new version saw some right away.

Hm, I didn't research what was the cause or anything else, perhaps I should have...

I really like aura's features and its CLI, but I'm a bit frustrated with being unable to build some packages from AUR, failing on others, missing updates... A bit of a rant I guess, sorry about that. tongue

Hackjob to fix it until it's fixed properly - though you'll need this (or another AUR helper, or a manual install) to update it anyway.

sudo sed -i 's/https:\/\/aur4.archlinux.org\//https:\/\/aur.archlinux.org\/\x00/' /usr/bin/aura

Re: Aura - 4.0.4 - The Multilingual Package Manager

Thanks for the update! With aura 1.3.5 I can install AUR packages. But it does not offer pending updates to previously installed AUR packages:

> aura -Au
aura >>= Fetching package information...
aura >>= Comparing package versions...
aura >>= No AUR package upgrades necessary.
aura >>= No valid packages specified.

The former version 1.3.4 (with the fix from phaseburn) finds several packages in need of an update:

> aura -Au
aura >>= Fetching package information...
aura >>= Comparing package versions...
aura >>= AUR Packages to upgrade:
atom-editor-bin : 1.5.4-1 => 1.6.0-1
...

Re: Aura - 4.0.4 - The Multilingual Package Manager

@fosskers

Here is a problem with aura, when powerpill needs to be updated.

It seems when aura uses powerpill, trying to update powerpill and its dependencies with aura fails.
I struggled with this issue until I found the thread referred above and manually (not using aura) installed: powerpill, pyalpm, pm2ml, python3-xcgf, python3-xcpf

Edit: Will post the above issue in github which might be a better forum to report this.

Re: Aura - 4.0.4 - The Multilingual Package Manager

Aura 1.3.7 released!

We've dropped some heavy dependencies, which means the vanilla `aura` package is easier to build from the AUR. Remember to include `[haskell-core]` as one of your repositories.

Updates:
- Faster dependency resolution and `-A` queries
- Smaller binary size
- Bug fixes

Re: Aura - 4.0.4 - The Multilingual Package Manager

With 1.3.7 I count 5 packages which are neither in AUR nor any official repository. Why not submit those to AUR, so we don't have to use a third-party repository just for an AUR helper?

Re: Aura - 4.0.4 - The Multilingual Package Manager

The vanilla `aura` package needs `[haskell-core]` in order to build. This has been the case for a year or two now. The binary is coming soon, and we have plans to release a dep-less version in the future.

The problem with putting any extra packages into the AUR (which I used to do) was the sheer amount of them. Right now the underlying `haskell-aur` package depends on `servant`, which has quite the dep tree itself.

Re: Aura - 4.0.4 - The Multilingual Package Manager

I don't think 5 packages qualifies as a "sheer amount". In any event, it sounds like Aura being impossible to build on a regular Arch installation is a feature. I'll leave it at that then.
