Re: [REQUEST] cactusplayer
Do you want the server or client? The client components are only claimed to be tested on Windows. If you want to set up the server components, are you already running a server? If so, there's not much need for a package, just upload the bundle to where you want it on your server.

I want the client. There is a version of the client for linux to download at their website. here. But its already compiled so i dont know if its possible to make an aur package. I was wondering if it was possible to make an 'git package' so everytime it updates i can update it using yaourt.
Can I do anything with this application?

Re: [REQUEST] cactusplayer
Yes, you can make cactusplayer-bin package that doesn't compile anything, just installs the software.
https://bitbucket.org/cactusplayer/cactusplayer is hosted in bitbucket, so a -git package is possible too.

Re: [REQUEST] cactusplayer
I was reading some things in the wiki and realized I know nothing about git, ssh, pkgbuilds.
Do you think its worth for me to start studying it or its just better to download the binaries from their website?

Re: [REQUEST] cactusplayer
If you want to learn, then yes read. Making a PKGBUILD is much much easier than I thought it would be before I started. Start with the PKGBUILD page on the wiki - then if needed check the VCS PKGBUILD page that it links to.
