Setup on Arch Linux:
====================
1) Install Apache, MySQL, PHP, and git
# pacman -Sy apache mysql php git
2) Set a local 'hostname' of 'aur'
- Edit /etc/hosts and append 'aur' to loopback address
127.0.0.1 localhost aur
3) Configure Apache
- Edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and enable PHP support
by adding the following lines.
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
Include conf/extra/php5_module.conf
- Also append the following snippet to enable the aur
Virtual Host (Replace MYUSER with your username).
<VirtualHost aur:80>
Servername aur
DocumentRoot /home/MYUSER/aur/web/html
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/aur-error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/aur-access.log combined
<Directory /home/MYUSER/aur/web/html>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
4) Clone the AUR project (using the MYUSER from above)
$ cd
$ git clone git://projects.archlinux.org/aur.git
5) Configure PHP
Make sure you have mysql and json enabled in PHP.
- Edit php.ini and uncomment/add these lines:
extension=mysql.so
extension=json.so
If those php extensions are separate packages on your system, install
them.
AUR requires PEAR and the File_Find module.
Installing PEAR will vary depending on the system and may already
be included with PHP. You can also find it in the PHP source
distribution.
PHP sources: http://www.php.net/downloads.php
File_Find PEAR module: http://pear.php.net/package/File_Find
- Install the File_Find PEAR package:
# pear install File_Find
- Put PEAR in your php include_path in php.ini:
include_path = ".:/usr/share/pear"
PEAR's path may vary depending on your set up.
- AUR does not work properly with PHP's short open tag enabled.
Be sure you have this in php.ini:
short_open_tag = Off
6) Configure MySQL
- Start the MySQL service. Example:
# /etc/rc.d/mysqld start
- Connect to the mysql client
# mysql -uroot
- Issue the following commands to the mysql client
mysql> CREATE DATABASE AUR;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON AUR.* to aur@localhost
> identified by 'aur';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> quit
- Load the schema file
# mysql -uaur -p AUR < ~/aur/support/schema/aur-schema.sql
(give password 'aur' at the prompt)
- Optionally load some test data for development purposes.
# pacman -S words mysql-python
# cd ~/aur/support/schema/
# python gendummydata.py dummy-data.sql
# bzip2 dummy-data.sql
# bzcat dummy-data.sql.bz2 | mysql -uaur -p AUR
(give password 'aur' at the prompt)
If your test data consists of real people and real email addresses consider
inserting bogus addressess to avoid sending unwanted spam from testing. You
can insert garbage addresses with:
mysql> UPDATE Users SET Email = RAND() * RAND();
7) Copy the config.inc.proto file to config.inc. Modify as needed.
# cd ~/aur/web/lib/
# cp config.inc.proto config.inc
8) Point your browser to http://aur
Web Interface:
==============
Directory Layout:
-----------------
./html - DocumentRoot for AUR, where the PHP scripts live.
./html/css - CSS stylesheets
./html/images - Any AUR images live here.
./lib - Supporting PHP include files. Access denied to Apache.
./template - Where most of the html markup resides and minimal
amount of PHP scripting.
There is also a template to model the site's top pages
in template.phps
Scripts:
--------
- lib/aur.inc
This is where we can stick functions that can be shared
between the various scripts. Also a good place to put the
MySQL authentication variables since it should live outside
the DocumentRoot.
- html/login.php (probably index.php)
PHP script to handle logging users into the AUR web site. It
authenticates using the email address and a password against
the Users table. Once authenticated, a session id is generated
and stored in the Sessions table and sent as a cookie to the
user's browser.
- html/logout.php
PHP script to logout. It clears the session id from the
Sessions table and unsets the cookie.
- html/account.php
PHP script to handle registering for a new account. It prompts
the visitor for account information: Email, password, real name,
irc nick. The info is recorded in the Users table. Perhaps later,
we can add a preferences field that allows the user to request to
be notified when new packages are submitted so that they can cast
votes for them?
If a TU is logged into the system, they can edit accounts and set
the account type (regular user or TU). If a Dev is logged in, they
can also set the account type to Dev. TUs and Devs are able to
delete accounts. If an account is deleted, all "Unsupported"
packages are orphaned (the MaintainerUID field in the Packages
table is set to Null).
- html/packages.php
PHP script to search the package database. It should support
searching by name, category, maintainer, popularity, etc. It
should resemble the packages.php script on archlinux.org. A
checkbox should be included next to each package to allow
users to flag a package out of date, adopt it, and vote for
it (and reverse operations).
- html/pkgsubmit.php
This is the PHP script that allows users to upload a new package.
The package format will be a tgz containing the PKGBUILD,
scriptlets, and patches necessary to build the package from
source. Initially, the user submitting the package can select
its category (network, devel, etc) but that can be modified
later by the adopting TU. The script makes appropriate entries
into the database (and perhaps notifies interested users of the
new package).
Terms and Definitions:
======================
AUR - Arch Linux User-Community Repository
Includes:

- the [community] repository managed by the TUs
TU - Trusted User
A user that can add binary packages to the [community]
repository and administer AUR.
[unsupported]
The collection of package build files hosted via the AUR web
