Making Photran PKGBUILD file

Someone made a PKGBUILD file for Photran a long time ago

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13090

and I want to update it to the latest version of Photran but I can't get it working. I also tried the suggested installation method mentioned on the original webpage but also fails

http://www.eclipse.org/photran/download.php

because eclipse is not the right version. Can anybody help?

Regards

André

PS. Here is the output when I try to install it as mentioned on the download page

Cannot complete the request.  See the details.
Unsatisfied dependency: [org.eclipse.photran_feature.feature.group 4.0.4] requiredCapability: org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu/org.eclipse.cdt.feature.group/[5.0.0,6.0.0)

Re: Making Photran PKGBUILD file

simply add a version requirement to the eclipse dependency.  then use the syncdeps option when you invoke 'makepkg'.

PKGBUILDs are well documented in the wiki here: The Arch package making HOW-TO - with guidelines

OK, I did that but I'm having problems with getting the pkgbuild file to download the packages at all. It says file not found.

Try this (not sure if it is the right file or if it includes everything you need):

pkgver=40b4
source=(http://download.eclipse.org/technology/photran/updates/photran$pkgver-master.zip)

That worked, many thanks. For those interested I adopted this package and updated it .

Re: Making Photran PKGBUILD file

I've updated this package to the beta5 version but eclipse doesn't see the package. Can someone help test this package and tell me if it works for them with eclipse?
