@swiftgeek: I think it's from "git describe", which is shorter than the full hash but still guaranteed to be unique. You cannot guarantee that if you just use a hash-prefix (even though collision are unlikely if you make it large enough). btw., freedesktop.org is the main repository, but sometimes the server is down so I push to github and might forget to update fdo..

And why gddf4126 ? short sha of commit is more useful

@swiftgeek: freedesktop.org is where it's hosted now

Please make pkgver() saner (and revert source to github but i'm not sure about that) https://gist.github.com/swiftgeek/5807637

@BiggArs you have to use '=' for assignments in config files. So use: font-size=12 I am working on a proper config-file parser. The current one was just a simple workaround.

@dvdhrm i have a problem with default config. Font options (such 'font-size', 'font-engine') don't recognize. My config /etc/kmscon/kmscon.conf: verbose switchvt login font-size 12 font-engine freetype2 Trying to start and i get: фев 09 22:03:06 archbook kmscon[6521]: [0000.002462] ERROR: config: unknown config option 'font-size 12' фев 09 22:03:06 archbook kmscon[6521]: [0000.002538] ERROR: cannot load configuration: -14 Without parameters for font options, such this config: verbose switchvt login font-size font-engine i get: фев 09 22:19:04 archbook kmscon[6728]: [0000.000275] ERROR: config: config option 'font-size' requires an argument фев 09 22:19:04 archbook kmscon[6728]: [0000.000324] ERROR: cannot load configuration: -14 May be i doing soething wrong? Thanks.

I talked with Ran-Benita (xkbcommon dev) and he also suggested to move the xkeyboard-config dependency to libxkbcommon. The thing is, xkeyboard-config installs the keyboard-configuration files but libxkbcommon takes the path to the directory as ./configure option. So libxkbcommon depends on xkeyboard-config, not the other way around. Can you fix this for libxkbcommon and kmscon? Or what do you think on that?

@swiftgeek: It shouldn't use a shallow clone - this only clones the repository once, and then pulls changes the next time you build it. The prototype git PKGBUILD in /usr/share/pacman does it this way. Luckily pacman 4.1 will bring VCS support in makepkg, so it won't be something to worry about per-package.
