Why is secondlife-bin in aur-mirror?

Hello everybody,

I would like to play SecondLife, but I saw that the AUR entry was mirrored. I want to adopt the package, but I don't know if I can upload it as it is now (if everything works after testing, of course). I believe I have once read on the Arch wiki that changing the owner of files to something like root:games is a ridiculous idea, or have I remembered that wrong?

Cheers,

Dennis

The question isn't why is it in the aur-mirror, the question is why isn't it in the AUR proper. The answer is explained here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … the_AUR.3F

If you want to re-submit it and maintain it, feel free.

So there is nothing wrong with the PKGBUILD itself?

Build it.  If it works then it's fine.  Edit the PKGBUILD so it states you are the new maintainer and make sure to keep or give credit to all previous contributors.

Show us the PKGBUILD here or provide a link, we don't want to guess where you saw it.

I will probably wirte a new PKGBUILD, since this one doesn't suite me. But first, I will actually need to run this thing, and currently I can't even do that, so I need to do some bug-hunting first.

chown -R root:games $pkgdir/opt/secondlife
chmod -R g+rw $pkgdir/opt/secondlife

This is indeed ugly. I'd try to find out what exactly needs to be rw in this folder and find some other way.
