To install all versions of packettracer except 7.2.2, follow this guidelines: 1. Download the snapshot from this AUR. 2. Tar -zxf the packettracer.tar.gz snapshot (it creates the dir packettracer/ with the PKGBUILD on it). 3. Download the latest packettracer tarball from your Netacad account and copy it into the packettracer/ dir. 4. Create the package with the command makepkg (it creates a packettracer.pkg.tar.xz). 5. Install the package with either makepkg -i or sudo pacman -U packettracer.pkg.tar.xz.

Packettracer 7.2.2 are auto installable via run file, download it from netacad webpage and run it, you don't need this package.

You should also drop all the _x86_64 stuff, there's no other architecture available.

Hello, please fix the package as I stated bellow or I'll orphan it.

You are working with a binary blob. This should be installed to /opt.

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_package_guidelines#Directories

It falls under "Large self-contained packages".

Also, where the hell did you read installing to /opt is disallowed?!

runnytu commented on 2019-02-25 14:30 (UTC)

@FFY00, installing to opt is disallowed, install in /usr/share/packettracer/ makes that more clean and follow arch-guidelines.

FFY00 commented on 2019-02-25 11:19 (UTC)

Please intsall this to /opt!

I think we can safely replace icu52 dependency by icu (or currently icu63). Then it compile for me.

-depends_x86_64=('openssl-1.0' 'libpng12' 'icu52') +depends_x86_64=('openssl-1.0' 'libpng12' 'icu')

You can use this link rather than the fucking netacad offical site. https://dl.recolic.net/res/Packet_Tracer_7.2_for_Linux_64_bit.tar.gz

I don't mind legal problems.

For people using the AUR-helper "yay":

Download the tarball from Cisco.

yay -S packettracer

^^^ BEFORE FINISHING UP THIS INSTALL:

mv tarball /home/$USER/.cache/yay/packettracer

Then finish the yay -S install.
