Please remove the dependency to dmenu. Better move it to optdepends to give users a hint.

Hello, could you update download to git+https?

Would be better if it checks if there exists a symlink at /usr/bin/dmenu as I've got rofi and /usr/bin/dmenu: symbolic link to /usr/bin/rofi <br> Or maybe dmenu should not be a required dependency at all as there exists a switch --dmenu=<command>

Not to mention that zopieux's change is already in a PR against upstream.

freestyler7 commented on 2015-02-26 12:48 (UTC)

I don't think it's wise to change upstream repos that easily. What if another fork comes up with one extra change from Zopieux's? :)

Manouchehri commented on 2015-02-25 07:26 (UTC)

I would suggest using Zopieux's fork for the time being, as he's got a few useful commits in there. Having GenericName search is quite nice. https://github.com/Zopieux/j4-dmenu-desktop

willemw commented on 2014-08-14 16:06 (UTC)

It doesn't have to show up as an update in this case, because the PKGBUILD hasn't really changed and it's a '-git' package (meaning it's up to the user to decide when to upgrade).

freestyler7 commented on 2014-08-14 16:01 (UTC)

I changed the version since people asked for it, but now it won't show as an update in your AUR helper. I could fix it with an epoch=1 but i don't want to complicate it even more.
