Why do you use "chmod" and "chown" commands in PKGBUILD ?

these are bad practices because "/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d" already exists, it seems weird to change access permissions for an existing directory ( "/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d" )

if kalu really needs these commands then this kind of thing shoud be done manually by the user,

I see also that you have created a new group called "kalu",

it would be interesting to avoid these commands, kalu should be able to run with the current user and existing permissions for /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d

Thanks for this very useful tool.

namcap told me some stuff about kalu:

  • kalu E: File (usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d) is owned by root:polkitd
  • kalu E: GPL3+ is not a common license (it's not in /usr/share/licenses/common/)
  • kalu W: File (usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d) does not have the world readable bit set.
  • kalu W: Directory (usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d) does not have the world executable bit set.
  • kalu W: Dependency dbus included but already satisfied
  • kalu W: Dependency polkit included but already satisfied
  • kalu W: Dependency curl included but already satisfied
  • kalu W: Dependency included and not needed ('notification-daemon')

Happy to know it's useful :)

So, I'm glad you got it resolved, but since there was no version change, any idea what caused the segfault? If you were to rebuild kalu, would it crash again? If so, any indications/backtraces/logs that could help figure out what's the problem & how to fix it is welcome, obviously.

First of all, thank you for kalu. Using this program with trizen makes Arch package management so much easier. I use KDE and I was getting core dumps using kalu 4.1.0-1. The crashes occurred when trying to close kalu at shutdown using a script.

I replaced it with kalu-kde 4.1.0-3, and now it shuts down correctly when using a shutdown script.

Right, a fix was just pushed to branch next. Thanks for the report.

Hello, Latest news in site contains an extra space before the title: " The end...". It causes kalu to go into loop of "10 unread news" although the correct title (with the extra space) is written in news.conf

Pour les francophones: Editez le pkgbuild en rajoutant " --with-news-rss-url=http://archlinux.fr/feed" sans les " " après ...prefix=/usr pour avoir les nouvelles en français :)

Yep, working now, thanks :)

Are you using the latest PKGBUILD (4.0.2-2) ? It should have a proper URL for the new AUR version.
