your maxVersion fix currently breaks compatibility, now that firefox 23 is out. btw, it is no longer required, as maxVersion has been increased upstream: em:maxVersion="24.*"

By the way, I had supported an earlier version of pacman's VCS handling but abandoned it due to concerns raised by gtmanfred (see thread below). gtmanfred, I hope these issues have been dealt with since VCS supported has arrived in pacman proper.

Ah, thanks a lot! I completely spaced out on the VCS support for pacman 4.1. The PKGBUILD looks good, and the built package works on my system. I've added you as a contributor (if you'd prefer your real name in there, just give me a holler) and updated the package.

Here's a PKGBUILD that uses Pacman's VCS support and puts Pentadactyl in /usr/lib/firefox/browser/extensions, but because it puts Pentadactyl in browser/extensions it depends on Firefox >= 21.0 PKGBUILD: http://sprunge.us/YDiM A bit more about moving the extensions dir (and others) to the browser dir: http://mike.kaply.com/2013/05/13/more-major-changes-coming-in-firefox-21/

I'm going back to the default branch; the package seems to work well on my machine without version compatibility problems. If anyone encounters errors, please drop me a line!

> how about you think about people that don't have the pentadactyl mercurial repository Sorry if I offended you in any way in my earlier comment, I didn't mean to. I deleted the pkg and src directories and ran makepkg, and I didn't encounter any errors: $ ls pentadactyl-hg PKGBUILD $ cd pentadactyl-hg && makepkg [...] ==> Determining latest hg revision... [...] -> Version found: 6828 ==> Making package: pentadactyl-hg 6828-1 (Mon Oct 1 09:45:04 CEST 2012) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> Retrieving Sources... ==> Extracting Sources... ==> Starting build()...

As I said, the fetching code should be implemented behind the scenes. I'm running pacman 4.0.3 if that matters. Hm... I just looked around to find where this functionality is documented, but I haven't found anything official, besides some of Allan's blog posts [1] and a few commit messages in the pacman-devel mailing list [2]. I'll add the manual fetching code back in, but I'm still sort of curious why it didn't work for you. Would you mind dropping me an e-mail to find out what went wrong on your side?

try to makepkg on the pkgbuild after you have cleared your src directory

gtmanfred commented on 2012-09-30 16:52 (UTC)

@Runiq, how about you think about people that don't have the pentadactyl mercurial repository, unless it is already available in there... then your pkgbuild fails, and the point of haveing _hgroot is pointless... nothing is cloning the repo
