Thanks for the explanation canton7.

With *-git packages, makepkg automatically ups the pkgver in the PKGBUILD you downloaded to match the current date, which is why you see 20110320 (today's date) as the installed version. Following your logic, the pkgver in the AUR's PKGBUILD would have to be increased daily, which is obviously impractical. In fact, the latest git revision will be installed whatever the pkgver, which implies that the pkgver only needs to be incrased when something major happens upstream.

This installs 20110320 not 20110202. The pkgver requires an update.

Updated with canton7's PKGBUILD.

My bad, I was relying on namcap at a point when I didn't fully understand it. Corrected PKGBUILD: http://pastebin.com/zwbnPp9i

canton7 works, but the dependencies are wrong. replace depends array with the old one: depends=('perl-libwww' 'perl-html-parser' 'perl-www-mechanize') also you need to create an "options" file containing "packagemanager AUR" in the build dir.

Fixed the "running updater to install plugins" error by copying the plugins folder to /usr/share/get_iplayer/plugins Also setting the packagemanager configuration option to tell get_iplayer not to try and update itself.

To disable the automatic updates, stick the line packagemanager yaourt (replacing yaourt as your preferences dictate) into either /etc/get_iplayer/options or ~/.get_iplayer/options

bananabrain: Run the following command to make your script writable by the default user: sudo chmod 757 /usr/bin/get_iplayer Run get_iplayer once as the normal user, and it does some update stuff. Then run: sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/get_iplayer to set the executable back to normal. It should now let you run the script as a normal user. If it wants to update again in the future you may have to run the same procedure again.
