[REQUEST] frostwire

Hi all, i'm looking for a PKGBUILD for frostwire. Frostwire is a fork of limewire, because they had to build in filters because they where sued by the RIAA.

I tried to do the job myself, but im pretty unfamiliar with this java stuff, maybe someone more experienced then me can have a look on it.

The projects Homepage is http://www.frostwire.com/index.php?title=Main_Page

You can get the source there, but there is no real documentation available for installing frostwire from source.

Re: [REQUEST] frostwire

(Edit - please go to the AUR for the latest release of frostwire. TK)

It barely needs a PKGBUILD - I've just untarred it and run it from a dir below $HOME, although I did need to chmod the start-up script. Anyway, here you go:

# Contributor: Tom K <tomk@runbox.com>
pkgname=frostwire
pkgver=4.10.3
pkgrel=1        
pkgdesc="an absolutely free Gnutella P2P application"
depends=('j2re')
source=(http://dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/$pkgname/FrostWire-$pkgver-0.tar.gz)
url="http://www.frostwire.com"

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/FrostWire-$pkgver
  chmod 755 usr/bin/frostwire
  cp -a * $startdir/pkg
}

Let me know if you're happy with it, and I'll put it in the AUR.

And just when I thought this was simple....... roll

I don't know if you've noticed this, but this thing eats up 100% of my CPU, which turns out to be a known bug. It's fixed in 4.10.5-beta, so I'll put a new version in the AUR shortly.
