Splashy/Usplash?

miggols99 · 2007-07-22 18:21:45

Is it possible to get Splashy or Usplash working in Arch Linux? I've looked at gensplash and bootsplash, but they require patching the kernel, which I rather wouldn't do. So can I?

Yes you can. See the wiki

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Splashy

Below is my modified PKGBUILD file.
The wiki points you to the AUR to get
all the files.

I modified the PKGBUILD file to

correct a warning/error that a variable was undefined (found notes
for this associated with the AUR package)
forceably turn off DEBUG (--disable-debug on the configure line
did not work)

These errors may be fixed in a more recent version. I do not
believe a package is available for splashy directly.

Ok I've searched around for Usplash and found this:

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=29006

But the links are broken!! Where can I find the packages?
