SVN Client for Xfce

Seems that thunar-svn-plugin and xfce4-svn once existed as they are mentioned here http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/5838 but I don't see them today in the repos.

How should I go about installing thunar-svn?

Thanks.

You'll find most -svn packages in the AUR, not the repos: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16126

Re: SVN Client for Xfce

Ah, great. But I get this:

==> Building and installing package
mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/abs': Permission denied
==> WARNING: Unable to write in /var/abs/local/yaourtbuild/thunar-svn directory. Using /tmp directory
==> Determining latest svn revision...
  -> Version found: 29999

error: 'libexif>=0.617': not found in sync db
==> ERROR: Pacman failed to install missing dependencies.
Error: Makepkg was unable to build thunar-svn package.

So I tried

sudo pacman -S libexif

and it reinstalled libexif-0.6.17-1, but I still get the same message as above.

There's a typo in the PKGBUILD.  On the depends line, 0.617 should be changed to 0.6.17.  It builds fine here after the typo is fixed.

Re: SVN Client for Xfce

It seems there is a little mistake in pkgbuild. Edit it and change libexif>=0.617 to libexif>=0.6.17

peart was quicker

Thank you both. It installed and when I reboot we will see if it works.

Re: SVN Client for Xfce

Yesterday I realized I only installed 1 of 2 packages. Today I tried twice to install also the second package: thunar-svn-plugin, and twice it failed:

What now?

It also, BTW, ran for a LONG time and spit out a LOT of output.

Re: SVN Client for Xfce

First of all, you are building an old version of the plugin.  The package has been marked out of date; 0.0.3 was released.  Also, a quick google search shows that it does not build on FreeBSD or Gentoo either.  Luckily, the latter have patched it. Hopefully you'll be able to build it with that.  I haven't tried.

Re: SVN Client for Xfce

I don't think you actually need the thunar-svn package. Packages in the AUR with -svn, -cvs, or -git appended to their names are generally development versions of the software. thunar-svn is just a more up to date version of the regular thunar package. The downside is that there may be some bugs or breakages. If you'd like to go back to the regular thunar package you can run:

pacman -Rd thunar-svn
pacman -S thunar

I updated the PKGBUILD and added the patch peart posted a link to. Now the package compiles. I don't usually use thunar, but I installed it the plugin seems to work. Here it is: http://www.danman.ca/arch/thunar-svn-plugin.tar.gz

Thanks, but that package never got installed.

Who told you that adding the patch etc. is a bit much for me?

I would like you to know that your file worked perfectly for me! I installed it and it looks great!

Thank you very much!
