Installing plymouth-systemd-git 20111018-1

Hi all!

I've been enjoying arch for sometime and this is my favorite distro ever. I love how you can customize each and every aspect of it.

Ok so here's my problem. Git is blocked in my college firewall so, can someone guide me how install the package.

I know there's a way to edit PKGBUILD to use local files. Only if I knew how..... Been trying for two hours to edit the PKGBUILD myself... very frustrated..

You could use the following address to download the source via HTTP perhaps:

http://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/plymouth

Just replace the followin line in the PKGBUILD:

_gitroot='git://git.freedesktop.org/git/plymouth'

You should also patch the encrypt_hook.patch, see the comments. (The new maintainer should update the package.)

to:

_gitroot='http://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/plymouth'
