xfburn for XFCE4

Hi there, I just wanted to give xfburn a try, but i recognized that it was not in the repos. So i tried writing a PKBUILD for my self, but actually it wont compile.
Here is what i wrote

pkgname=xfburn-svn
pkgver=23953                                                                                                                                        
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Xfburn, burning program for XFCE4"
url="http://www.xfce.org/"
depends=('gtk2' 'shared-mime-info' 'hicolor-icon-theme' 'libexif' 
         'librsvg' 'pcre' 'fam' 'hal' 'eject' 
         'exo-svn' 'libxfce4util-svn')
makedepends=('subversion' 'intltool' 'xfce4-dev-tools')

_svntrunk=http://svn.xfce.org/svn/xfce/xfburn/trunk/
_svnmod=xfburn

build() {
  
  msg "Updating SVN entries for $_svnmod ..."
  
  cd $startdir/src
  svn co $_svntrunk $_svnmod
  cd $_svnmod
  
  msg "Finished update, starting build ..."
  ./autogen.sh 
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

but it fails at ./autogen. could anyone try this PKGBUILD and eventually fix it?

thx

Re: xfburn for XFCE4

Check this PKGBUILD

pkgname=xfburn-svn
pkgver=23953                                                                                                                                       
pkgrel=4
pkgdesc="Xfburn, burning program for XFCE4"
url="http://www.xfce.org/"
depends=('gtk2' 'shared-mime-info' 'hicolor-icon-theme' 'libexif' 
         'librsvg' 'pcre' 'fam' 'hal' 'eject' 
          'exo-svn' 'libxfce4util-svn' 'cdrtools' 'cdrdao')
makedepends=('subversion' 'intltool' 'xfce-devtools-svn' 'autoconf')

_svntrunk=http://svn.xfce.org/svn/xfce/xfburn/trunk/
_svnmod=xfburn

build() {
    msg "Updating SVN entries for $_svnmod ..."
     
    cd $startdir/src
    svn co $_svntrunk $_svnmod
    cd $_svnmod

    msg "Finished update, starting build ..."
    ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/xfce4
    make || return 1
    make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

Re: xfburn for XFCE4

It is the only missing package of XFCE...  somebody (a developer) should put it into the repo...

Should not be in the repo since it's beta...

So Gaim shouldn't be in the repo's either ?

Re: xfburn for XFCE4

Ideally not, but it seems people don't care running a beta version of Gaim. But I think if you ask the Gaim developers if the beta is suitable for production use (which I consider the current repo is...) they probably say no.

And because xfburn has not been tested a lot and there was only a 0.2.0beta release (which was not based on libburn, like trunk is atm.; so trunk is more like an alpha), I'd say it's not ready for current. Furthermore: developers are not very happy with bug reports of their product when it's from an experimental or in-development branch/trunk.

In my experience most developers love it when you're reporting bugs of their experimental/in-development branch/trunk. Bugs get solved, new functionality gets added etc. while the main branch gets its obligatory (security) fixes.

Re: xfburn for XFCE4

Yeah sometimes they do, when trunk is more or less ready for a release (after an rc or beta) or reports from the group of testers who know where they're talking about, but when you're still working on the code and you get (upstream) reports from bug trackers like Ubuntu's launchpad, it can be quite annoying.

So your right when the reports are from users who can compile they own software and test your fixes, but not from people who say "The package is broken in the Arch repository and I can only type pacman -Syu". Nothing against those people, but they can not work because of trunk snapshots in stable repositories.
