]]>Source tarball available here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile … _id=170564
That doesnt help. The page has source files for the -barry- package, but the -libbarry- package is only in deb or rpm.
The barry source file will include the libbarrry code.
]]>Pacman will not install a tarball that you get from a deb. The tarball that you get from a deb is just a compressed usr/ directory containing all the package files. You still need to write a simple PKGBUILD that copies usr/ (and any other directories) over to $pkgdir, and then create a pkg.tar.gz via makepkg.
forgive the noobiness.. but how do I do this..?

Aah ! I stand corrected then. I thought that the app that the OP used, converts the deb to Arch pkg.tar.gz
Thanks for the info.

Mcmillan, I downloaded the deb and used deb2targz which made a tar.gz file. But I'm unsure on how to make pacman use that. I'll take a look at the amazonmp3 package, but if you told me what I need to be doing (bit of a noob), It would save me lots of time.
**edit: Looks like AUR is down too :-( **

]]>How can I install this. Everyone talks about making a package yourself, but I have no clue to find the source and make this package.
Can anyone help..? I cant find any resources on Google, I cant believe I'm the only person who has this problem.
