[Request] BixData

Here's the site. I'll be more than happy to take charge of this package if needed.

Re: [Request] BixData

I made an attempt, failed.  Here's the PKGBUILD:

# Contributor: 
pkgname=bixdata
pkgver=2.7
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A network management tool with GUI frontend"
arch=('i686')
url="http://www.bixdata.com"
license=('custom')
depends=('libmysqlclient' 'libstdc++5' 'postgresql-libs' 'qt4')
source=(http://www.bixdata.com/files/BixDesktop-2.7-linux-1.tar.gz
        http://www.bixdata.com/files/BixServer-2.7-linux-1-DB.tar.gz
        http://www.bixdata.com/files/BixAgent-2.7-linux-1.tar.gz
        bixdesktop-script
        bixserver-script
        bixagent-script)
build() {

chmod 755 $startdir/src/bixdata/{rundesktop.sh,runserver.sh,bixagent/bixagent,bixdesktop/bixdesktop,bixserver/bixserver}
mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/share
cp -r $startdir/src/bixdata $startdir/pkg/usr/share/
install -D -m644 $startdir/src/bixdata/bixserver/License.txt $startdir/pkg/usr/share/licenses/bixdata/License.txt
install -D -m755 $startdir/src/bixdesktop-script $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/bixdesktop
install -m755 $startdir/src/bixserver-script $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/bixserver
install -m755 $startdir/src/bixagent-script $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/bixagent
}

I ran into issues as the app wants to run in an entirely user-writable environment and #archlinux was useless in helping me figure out a nice, standard way to do that.  The scripts simply point to executables/scripts in the /usr/share/bixdata dir.  It may be possible to rig some kind of hack script via symlnks in a ~/.appname folder.

Also, if you release this you may want to remove the qt4 dependency as I had to combine the three separate parts of bixdata to remove file conflicts and qt4 is likely only  necessary for bixdesktop; add a message for it instead.

Re: [Request] BixData

I dont think you should use all of the apps at the same time, I think there should be 3 separate PKGBUILDs
