fribid-stable orphan?

Hi,

did anyone know what happened to the packages fribid-stable and fribid-git in the AUR? I know there is a new version (1.0.4) of fribid, but both packages are left on a version from last year.
I would edit the PKGBUILD by myself but can't find the right md5sum.

Version control system (VCS) packages (e.g. fribit-git) download and build the latest version of the software from the VCS repository so it is always up-to-date when you build it. The version in the PKGBUILD is updated automatically.

When building from static sources (e.g. fribid-stable), the checksum (md5, sha1, sha256, etc.) is the checksum of the downloaded source archive. The download page should provide a list of checksums for you to confirm the integrity of the package, and those should be used in the PKGBUILD. You can automatically update the checksums in the PKGBUILD with updpkgsums, but if the download is corrupted then it will include a corrupted checksum in the PKGBUILD.

The current fribit-git package works. Here's a slightly tweaked version that I have tested: http://xyne.archlinux.ca/tmp/pkgbuilds/ … src.tar.gz

@Xyne Thank you for your reply.
The old 1.0.3-version works for me still too, but I needed a hint what to do when there will be bigger changes that I need to get and the AUR-package won't be updated in time.

@gryps
If you use the fribid-git package then you can just rebuild it from time to time to get the latest version without making any changes yourself.

To modify fribid-stable you will normally only need to update the checksums and the version number. I suggest that you read up on PKGBUILDs. They're quite simple to create and modify.
