ntfsprogs-1.9.2 PKGBUILD

Hi all,

I packaged and uploaded to ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/incoming/

ntfsprogs-1.9.2

, tools to manipulate NTFS filesystems under Linux. See this page for a list of the tools: http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/status.html#ntfstools.

Here is the PKGBUILD:

pkgname=ntfsprogs
pkgver=1.9.2
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="The Linux-NTFS project aims to bring full support for the NTFS filesystem to the Linux operating system. The Linux-NTFS ntfsprogs package currently consists of the NTFS library (libntfs), the NTFS Gnome VFS module (libntfs-gnomevfs), and various utilities (ntfsprogs)."
url="http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/"
source=(http://belnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/linux-ntfs/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('7afa40d1764dc5427533734925f8adf7')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
  make || return 1
  make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr/local install
}

Well you can discard this. When i went to Arch Incoming Register to register my package i realized that it exists on

tur

directory.

Re: ntfsprogs-1.9.2 PKGBUILD

yeah i put it to staging since a while
one tip for packaging
don't use /usr/local as prefix
it's against arch philosophy (i think)
can you test my package if it works i can't because of a missing windows installation
bye
