Thanks @micwoj92 for the heads up and thanks @Jakeukalane for the pointer.

I don't use Archlinux much these days, but I'll try and retrieve the sources from this archive and repackage it from there. I'd hate to see this nice game disappear.

Hello! @lacouture: seems that Internet Archive has all the copy at 2024 date. I don't know how to re-package but shouldn't be difficult to put all of that files in a new repository. Sorry that I don't know how to do it. http://web.archive.org/web/20240810124723/https://svn.xiph.org/trunk/planarity/

@Jakeukalane, thanks for the heads up.

Unfortunately, the upstream project suffered a data loss, as explained here: https://svn.xiph.org/MISSING_DATA

I reverted the revision to the latest revision in their SVN historical (r19257) and the package builds again.

One should do a clean build.

Unfortunately, unless I'm mistaken, gplanarity wasn't included in the migration from xiph.org's SVN to Gitlab server.

There doesn't seem to be any recent development activity since 2011. I'll get in touch with the original author and check the status of this project.

It doesn't build automatically. I downloaded manually: 

https://svn.xiph.org/trunk/planarity/
to 
$HOME/.cache/yay/gplanarity-svn
Then I edited the PKGBUILD and where it showed 
printf "r%s" "$(svnversion | tr -d 'A-z')"
I put 
printf "19543"
Then I renamed all Makefile.txt to Makefile (sed.txt to sed, etc.) And executed makepg. The source compiled without errors and generated a pkg.tar.xz named gplanarity-svn-19543-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz I opened the archive with the software installer of manjaro and installed. The program works.

Thank you @Schnouki for the contribution to the PKGBUILD.

Committed to the git repo.

Here's an enhanced PKGBUILD: http://ix.io/zlP

Changes:

  • fix prefix to install in /usr rather than /usr/local

  • locales work!

  • add missing dependency on gtk2, and remove useless dependencies (already included in gtk2)

  • removed the .install file as it's no longer needed (there's a Pacman hook that does the same thing, as indicated by namcap)

Thanks for this package!
