Arch Linux

Adopted and corrected depends.

NamesList.txt is probably a continuously-updated file. Changing the checksum to SKIP looks like a safe and simple option.

Fixed namcap errors, with the exception of the redundant dependencies. Also including Unicode database, since this program relies on it and no other package seems to provide it.

@fstirlitz Whatever, you vere mostly right, good on you for adopting the package, however you should probably also edit the source URL as:

http://birdfont.org/releases/birdfont-$pkgver.tar.gz

I forgot to do it.

Okay, I'm sorry. I exploded. That was harsh even by LKML standards. (Okay, maybe not really.) I should probably have posted this in private, if at all. I removed my comment to spare you the humiliation. (Some would say: to spare it to myself. Whatever.)

But seriously, this is Package Management 101. You should have known this. Hopefully you won't make such mistakes the next time.

Anyway, I fixed the package.

@fstirlitz I didn't have the time to investigate this as I did this just for myself to get birdfont running quickly.
I realize that calling the install script should be done in the PKGBUILD, but I had no time to investigate how to do so properly, nevertheless your attitude could surely use some improvement.

If you're interested in maintaining this, great as I don't have time to do so.

@norby Strange, it compiles fine over here.
Make sure that you have both, vala and libgee packages on your system and try the updated package.
If the problem persists, make sure you have the 'gee-1.0.vapi' file in /usr/share/vala/vapi/ and not in /usr/share/vala-0.20/vapi/
If that is indeed the case, run the following:
sudo ln -s /usr/share/vala-0.20/vapi/gee-1.0.vapi /usr/share/vala/vapi/

There is something wrong. I can't build it. makepkg shows:

error: Package `gee-1.0' not found in specified Vala API directories or GObject-Introspection GIR directories
