[AUR] Live-F1 - Formula 1 - Live Data Client (CLI)

Hi,

To all the F1 nuts out there - no more java viewer required.

Live F1 is a native Linux client for viewing the information feed of the official Formula-1 Web site without the need of a Java-enabled browser. It displays the live timing information from the track side during races, qualifying, and practice sessions. An account on formula1.com is still required.

Thanks.

pkgdesc="Linux client for viewing information feed of official Formula-1 Web site"
url="http://freshmeat.net/projects/live-f1/"
license="GPL"

The live-f1 package in community is out of date and orphaned.
I have uploaded an updated and patched version to AUR that works fine for the 2010 season that is starting today.

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35454

Enjoy. Forza Ferrari!!

PS: I would adopt the package in community but I'm not a TU.

Is this client still working?

F1 have made many changes to their data availability over the years, so a 15-year-old client is unlikely to work without changes.

The upstream project linked in this thread no longer exists, and neither does the AUR package, so the answer will be "no".
