@ykla

If you read through the comments here you would find your solution.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fakeroot-tcp?O=10#comment-982346

Either compile it yourself in freebsd, or use an arch iso or cachyos iso to do it, or use my binary. The aur is not some magic repo, it's a collection of scripts that simplify compilation and management of compiled programs. You can always just read the script and execute the commands manually. Using freebsd you should be use to compiling everything anyway.

I no longer use freebsd due to it's toxic environment, and being perpetually stuck 5 years in the past. Also, Linuxulator is inherently insecure.

Plus, now that I've gone ZFS-on-Root/ZfsBootMenu, there is no way in hell I'm going back to freebsd boot0. Personally, I want nothing to do with it.

This aur is very important in the FreeBSD Linux compatibility layer, because most aur need to be built in a sandbox and under regular user privileges, and FreeBSD has not implemented these features. However, providing it only in aur form has successfully placed users in the paradox of which came first, the chicken or the arrive. Could you consider providing it as a binary in the extra official repository instead of the current aur? see also https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=281489

It is still useful for other environments. For example, when running Arch in Termux.

PSA - fakeroot-tcp is no longer needed for Arch-WSL. Now that archlinux is an officially supported distribution, you can just install fakeroot from core repo. I've removed fakeroot-tcp from official and unofficial Arch installs and replaced it with fakeroot, works great. Not sure but you may need to: wsl --update --pre-release

Don't quote me on that. That is just the environment I am running atm.

It seems that 1.37-1 was removed too, now I only see 1.37.1.1-1 and 1.37.1.2-1 listed.

Upstream links are dead to tar balls > 1.31 and < 1.37, see here:

I have updated the package. Thank you for your comment.

Disregard my previous link, it's wrong (read the filename too quickly). Nonetheless, the error is still valid.

FrenchToasts commented on 2025-01-13 13:25 (UTC)

Hi, I am getting a 404 error when installing the package. Seems we should point to http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fakeroot/fakeroot_1.31.orig.tar.gz instead.

@Mr.Wizard You are right. I prematurely added the fix because i had the same mistake to not load /etc/profile in my test arch container. Reverted ddae5646d635
