[SOLVED] Artha 1.0.1 has been released...

Hi, I don't have the skills as yet to be able to get the new & improved versions of Artha to work:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/artha/files/

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30232

The current maintainer doesn't seem to be interested anymore?

I marked the AUR package out of date on the 15th Jan, when version 1.0.0 was released.  I have tried to modify the PKGBUILD myself but couldn't crack it.

Some days later I emailed the maintainer, informing him of the new release & politely asking if he could update the PKGBUILD for us, but he has not replied or upgraded the PKGBUILD, so at this point those of us who don't know how to do it for ourselves can't use the new version; which is now at 1.0.1.

Could someone with the skills please see if they can fix this one for us?

Thanks in advance.

I used to be surprised that I was still surprised by my own stupidity, finding it strangely refreshing.
Well, now I don't find it refreshing.
I'm over it!

I orphaned the PKGBUILD and all the other PKGBUILDs of that user. Feel free to adopt.

Re: [SOLVED] Artha 1.0.1 has been released...

Thanks guys for your very helpful input.

res, has adopted the Artha package & it (finally ) installed & works perfectly for me. (Thanks for your PKGBUILD chpln, I went to bed before trying it last night; then when I looked this morning res had taken over the package so I gave his PKGBUILD a try & the rest is history.)

I start it in .config/openbox/autostart.sh & it quietly starts, adding itself to my tiny xfce4-panel.

Very good indeed.

Thanks again.
