Arch Linux

As this is no longer actively maintained upstream I'm orphaning it. A good replacement is gnome-break-timer-git

@goodmami Upstream have stopped releasing tarballs for this package and I have not got around to making a git package. There is a new project for a typing break, take a look at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnome-typing-break-bzr/

Failing to build. Selected error messages:

gnome-settings-plugin.h:65:16: error: unknown type name 'GsdTypingBreakPluginManager'
gsd-typing-break-plugin.c:65:25: error: 'gsd_typing_break_plugin_parent_class' undeclared (first use in this function)
gsd-typing-break-plugin.c:69:1: error: redefinition of 'impl_activate'
gsd-typing-break-plugin.c:85:1: error: redefinition of 'impl_deactivate'

There seems to be a bug report about this (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698413) looks like the patch needs updating (they've stopped doing tarballs) or I should do a git PKGBUILD.

Has anyone edited this to install latest git version? The config menu does not show anymore on Gnome 3.8 with this version (although the software still works, but you can't change the config).

Updated to 3.6.0, This fixes the build error. Unfortunately there is no tarball available so there is a large patch in source package which is applied to 3.5.0. The patch is mostly translation changes deleting unused strings, the only code change is to fix the build error. There is probably no need to upgrade if you have 3.5.0 installed.

@adaptee There is a new version in git but they haven't released a tarball yet which is why I haven't picket it up. Looking through the diffs the only really significant change looks to be deleting gsd_typing_break_plugin_class_finalize, so you should be fine if you comment it out as I suggested.

I get the same error now, my guess is something has changed with a new release of glib-gobject. If you comment out or delete the definition of gsd_typing_break_plugin_class_finalize in gsd-typing-break-plugin.c (lines 37-40) then it will compile. I haven't tested it but think it should work fine, let me know and I'll upload a new package if it works.

it fails to build:

gsd-typing-break-plugin.c:38:1: error: redefinition of 'gsd_typing_break_plugin_class_finalize'
gsd-typing-break-plugin.c:35:1: note: previous definition of 'gsd_typing_break_plugin_class_finalize' was here
make[3]: *** [libtyping_break_la-gsd-typing-break-plugin.lo] Error 1

Thanks, that needs to be in extra.

I'll update the pkgbuild when I get a chance

1. The real dependencies are: depends=('libxss' 'gnome-control-center')

2. Use --libexecdir=/usr/lib/$pkgname switch on configure line, because a file installed into a non-standard /usr/libexec directory by default.

Updated to 3.2.5, this version moves where some files are stored.

Updated to 3.2.4, the only change in this version is the addition of keywords to the desktop file so not an essential upgrade.

Updated to 3.2.3, this version adds a button to lock the screen during a break and updates some translations

Thanks for flagging out of date, I'm away at the moment but will update when I return next week

Thanks I'll update it in a couple of days when I have more time. The only upstream commits since 3.0.1 seem to be a few translation updates.

This is out of date, but just changing the version to 3.0.2 and correcting the checksum seems to work

@sardaukar - You're welcome, glad you like it. It's a real shame upstream decided to drop this from gnome-control-center as I find it really useful for limiting my typing time.

thanks for this!

Oops sorry about that I'll update the PKGBUILD

Great, I like it!
I think the link is wrong. It should be :
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/drwright/3.0/drwright-3.0.1.tar.bz2
or I can't download it.
