@hiruocha hi! as @ravachol said, the distribution of the software should only contained the compiled .mo file, the compilation is left to the contributor, Nevertheless I've been made aware of the translation effort and if you need any help with the particulars of the package / any modification necessary feel free to contact me via mail or otherwise.

@hiruocha, the translation .mo file should be included in the package. You only need to compile the translation file if you are doing the translations. One can do that locally.

make i18n

sudo make install

But you need to git clone in that case.

Hello! Thank you very much for maintaining this software. Upstream is currently adding some new features. If possible, could you replace the manual install with something like make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install? Also, it seems necessary to run make i18n before make to compile the translation files.

Fixed the pkgver issue, as per the rc1 dependency changes, i'll look into it as although im pulling from the main branch it seems im grabing the wrong tag. But the package should build now. Thanks! UPDATE: fixed the versioning as well.

Yes, but he shouldn't change the dependencies yet. It's a pre-release (release candidate 1) and it's not on the main branch yet. But extracting the version clearly isn't working.

The pkgbuild needs to be updated, some dependencies have changed in "v3.0.0-rc1"

Added Dependencies: Faad2, TagLib and LibOgg. Removed dependencies: FFmpeg, FreeImage. https://github.com/ravachol/kew/discussions/180

Also it seems due to the hyphen in the version name it is not able to be installed.

@Jao I currently have a cron configured on my pc which regularly checks for updates. It's automated but its limited to the time my pc is on, but as it's almost always running is not that noticeable. Nevertheless i will look into fully automating it.

Jao commented on 2023-12-10 13:00 (UTC)

Is it possible for you to automate the name update for the packages version number?

It seems that you currently need to manually change it.

Just wondering as Kew is currently on v1.11 and this as of now installs v1.11 but it is still labeled as 1.10, finding a way to automate it would cause less confusion amongst other users.

currently a bit sleep deprived (as in it's 8 am and I have still yet to sleep), so I may have worded this comment wrong.

ah cool thanks

arcpie commented on 2023-11-19 21:06 (UTC)

@emnl yes, i've talked with the developer and we decided to update it tomorrow.
