Would it be possible to make an AUR package for this?

 

I forgot to say that the junest script has another feature. It downloads the right JuNest image according to the architecture of the host OS.

 

Yes, the junest script can be placed in an AUR package so you can have your own JuNest environment in your Arch.

It will be something like:

 

yaourt -S junest
junest --help
junest -- uname -m
JUNEST_HOME=~/.junest-arm junest -a arm -- uname -m

 

Which is cool, but this will not add so much value in case you want to use JuNest on a different GNU/Linux distribution.

It should be easy for folk to make a package for another distro from the AUR package. Might be a fiddle and some work but that's what being a penguin is all about ain't it ?

 

Glad to see my anarchist skills are still in working order :whistling:

Hey glad to see you survived the trip. Whilst unloading you may want to fire up some local style music to keep the natives happy. I suggest Gris Gris or Creole Moon

an so you don't look out of place eating local food is always a good idea

 

http://www.southernliving.com/food/holidays-occasions/new-orleans-mardi-gras-recipes

 

an a bucketful of Sazerac will definitely make the locals warm to you

 

http://www.neworleansonline.com/neworleans/cuisine/drinks/sazerac.html

 

though personally I would replace the bitters with the original ingredient

 

http://www.absinthe101.com/effects.html

 

an if you have any energy left take a tour of the town

just a couple of drinks at each venue should be enough. :beer:

Have you ran rankmirrors against the mirrorlist.pacnew in /etc/pacman.d/ ?

 

Edit out all the US mirrors in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew. Then as root, run:

 

rankmirrors -n 7 /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew > /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist pacman -Syy

The first error as securitybreach mentioned is due to the mirror link. You need to update the local db repository using:

pacman -Syy

 

The double "y" forces the pacman system to update the db information.

 

The real links are the following:

 

https://aur4.archlinux.org/packages/junest-git

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/junest-git

 

There are two aur packages since AUR is migrating to a newer system based on git. The August 8th the new AUR will be pointed to aur.archlinux.org. In the meanwhile,

I have just created the packages for both old and new service.

An why does the "sources" link

 

...

 

give this result

These AUR packages are based on git. In PKGBUILD it is possible to specify as a source a specific git repository with a given branch, tag or commit.

Everytime a new change to JuNest will be pushed to master, it will be visible in the AUR packages itself without the need to update the AUR package all the time.

This is very handy!

Good general information. However I use UK mirrors and my pacman mirror list is up to date. :breakfast:

Ah ha righty o I had forgotten about the AUR change over. :228823:

That is as maybe. However I am supposed to be able to view the source code and to help me do this easily there are supposed to be links on the AUR page that lead me to the source. Yet the links on your page lead me nowhere or around in loops.

Using the new AUR link

 

https://aur4.archlin...ages/junest-git

 

I try

 

Git Clone URL:

https://aur.archlinu...junest-git.git/ (read-only)

 

and it leads me here

Following this

Package Base:

junest-git

 

leads me back to

 

https://aur4.archlin...ges/junest-git/

 

and following this

 

Sources

  • junest

leads me to

 

7xSUv0M.png

 

So I am a tad puzzled as to how I can view the source from those links.

Ok the package installs on my Arch. I guess there was a problem with my broadband supply when I tried the other day. So all is good.

 

I still do not understand the business about the way the links do not lead to the source. :hmm:

I see your point. It would be nice if those links would lead to the real source code without parsing the source link in some way. It might be possible that the Arch Linux developers will eventually provide a more useful link for the source in the AUR website.

 

For the moment the convention used to build AUR packages using VCS sources is the following:

Hi securitybreach,

 

Now that the AUR package (junest-git) has been created can we share it to the community? :)

Would you like to post it to the G+ group?

Your more than welcome to post it in the Community. Just make sure to mention the package with a link.

 

Sorry I haven't tested it yet as I am still working on finding employment here.
