It would be nice to have a .proto file in /usr/share/pacman which follows the perl policy.

  • Field changed: Status (Unconfirmed → Assigned)
  • Field changed: Category (Documentation → Scripts & Tools)
  • Task assigned to Travis Willard (Cerebral)
I believe these are a part of the ABS package now, so assigning to Travis. Seems like a good idea to me.

sounds like a good idea.

I imagine we'd also want similar for the gnome standards (those are in the wiki too). gedit is a good PKGBUILD for this.

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Packaging_Standards -- heck, one for every category at the bottom of this page probably couldn't hurt

Here's one for lisp also.

Woops, didn't see that included in the last post... Feel free to delete these 2 replies.

I have put such a PKGBUILD-perl.proto (for the new perl policy) on the community cvs repo 4 weeks ago: http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/PKGBUILD-perl.proto?cvsroot=AUR&only_with_tag=CURRENT
Feel free to improve it. I'll remove it if it becomes part of the abs pkg.
Comment by Gavin Bisesi (Daenyth) - Friday, 25 April 2008, 21:03 GMT
my only issue with that .proto is that using $pkgname in the source url won't work because of the differences in Arch vs CPAN naming. Do we want to endorse a custom variable there such as "_perlname='Foo::Bar'", or should we say "Just hardcode the url"?

The above link is dead now, here is the new one : http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/community/?root=community
I think it would be a good idea to move all the prototypes from there to abs package (and so remove them from community repo).
Comment by Gavin Bisesi (Daenyth) - Thursday, 19 June 2008, 18:29 GMT
I agree, I was a little confused when I saw the .proto files in /var/abs/community, as opposed to /usr/share/pacman.
Comment by Allan McRae (Allan) - Sunday, 06 July 2008, 08:45 GMT
Anyone have a good example package to base lisp/java proto PKGBUILD on?
Comment by Allan McRae (Allan) - Saturday, 09 August 2008, 15:13 GMT
There are additional prototypes in abs-2.2. For any further additions, open a new bug report with an example attached.
