Awesome installation problems

Hi,

I'm trying to install awesome-git from aur. It depends on xcb-util. When I try to install xcb-util using yaourt I get this: http://pastebin.com/m55f2565a
It probably means he git repo is down. What should I do, is there another repo somewhere?

Thanks,
niethslim

Re: Awesome installation problems

You need to manually edit the PKGBUILD.
change the line

_gitroot="git://git.naquadah.org/arnau/xcb-util.git"

to

_gitroot="git://git.naquadah.org/~arnau/xcb-util.git"

That should fix the problem

Re: Awesome installation problems

Well, after a lot of PKGBUILD editing and removing/installing packages I finally managed to install awesome-git.
Now, how do I start it up? It's not in my GDM menu and I don't really feel like using another login manager right now.
Is there another solution to this problem?
