Notes for users:

File::LsColor is required but not in official repos:

sudo pacman -S cpanminus

sudo cpanm File::LsColor

This ensures ls++ runs properly.

I think we might have to add cpanminus as a build dependence. I had to install File::LsColor module from CPAN in order to make ls++ work. For example: cpanm Term::ExtendedColor File::LsColor

The error from pkver() is due to the fact that grep finds two "$VERSION" in the source, hence the two values in the output. Simply tweak this line in the PKGBUILD (add "our $" to make grep return only the first occurence of $VERSION):

_lsver=$(grep 'our $VERSION =' ls++|sed -r 's/\$VERSION = (.+);/\1/'|cut -d\' -f2)

Cannot build because of version format

Fails to build on fairly clean install. I bypassed my AUR wrapper, this output occurred when running 'makepkg -s'. -- Appending installation info to /home/jason/Downloads/aur/ls++-git/pkg/ls++-git/usr/lib/perl5/core_perl/perllocal.pod [ ! -d /usr/etc ] && mkdir -p /usr/etc mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/usr/etc’: Permission denied make: *** [Makefile:914: install_vendor] Error 1 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().

@aajjbb: can't reproduce neither in a clean chroot nor in a testing VM. if you are using an AUR overlay than it may be a bug there.

I've just installed ls++ though AUR, and all the files were installed in my / directory, was it supposed to happen ?

@AlphaHeX: nor sure how you are building your packages, but the problem is within your build env rather then the package itself. notice how the epoch prefix 1: is missing in the package that you try to read. if you are using some overlay to install from AUR you may want to look into that if it has problems with epochs.

I'm getting the following error ==> Finished making: ls++-git 1:0.348.71.5c591e1-1 (Sat Dec 13 12:10:22 CET 2014) loading packages... error: 'ls++-git-0.348.71.5c591e1-1*.pkg.tar.xz': could not find or read package

It would be better if this script installs to /usr/bin/ls++ and not /usr/bin/vendor_perl/ls++. @
