So I was playing around with this package and did some notable changes. Have a look here - https://github.com/kgizdov/cvmfs Significant changes: - do not use built-in packages, Arch already provides them - install the license properly - do not use 'libexec' folder as per Arch Packaging Standard, patch included - python-geoip.patch not needed when using Arch's python plugin - some stronger build options in settings.cmake specified - cvmfs_config does not require edits - include default.local in package and improve install message - do not auto configure autofs as it is not a dependency and not required for operation, give use info on install instead

This package version is indeed out of date, because the newer release does not compile on a current Archlinux system anymore. Several problems appear when compiling the built-in packages, and I have managed to build it with external dependencies instead of built-in packages. But unfortunately it didn't seem to work in the end. If anybody is interested in helping to debug this, please contact me and I can show you the current status.

Hi Frank, My apologies for the delay. It works fine now. Cheers, Raja.

Thanks rajanandakumar for letting me know about this. I was able to reproduce it, even though nothing in the package has changed in quite a while -- so I assume this must have been some external change which triggered this issue. Anyway, I have just pushed a new PKGBUILD which should take care of using the Arch-compatible directories instead of the two defaults (/usr/bin and /usr/lib instead of /sbin and /usr/lib64). Can you let me know whether that works for you now? Cheers, Frank

Hi, Trying to install it, I get error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) cvmfs: /sbin exists in filesystem cvmfs: /usr/lib64 exists in filesystem Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded. Any suggestions on how to go about fixing this? I did have a look at the various messages regarding this, dating back to 2013, but there seems to be none relevant here. Most seem to suggest that it needs to be fixed at the package level. Thanks and Cheers, Raja.

Hi Sebastien, Are you still working on the package or would you like to orphan it? I have an updated version for the current cvmfs release, which also takes care of some of the configuration steps automatically: http://fsiegert.web.cern.ch/fsiegert/tmp/cvmfs-2.1.19-1.src.tar.gz But I don't think I am allowed to upload it to AUR as long as you are the Maintainer. Cheers, Frank
