Arch Linux User Repository

@kbumsik Thank you for the patch, will accept it as soon as I have my Arch Linux installed and set up (got a new laptop and was having a headache trying to set up everything again)

Hi I fixed PKGBUILD to generate a desktop entry file for a better desktop integration. Could you accept this patch?

@PanisSupraOmnia I fix this problem. Thanks for your report.

I just noticed that this package is marked as being GPL2 licensed. This is not the case; RescueTime is proprietary software. Please correct this!

@PanisSupraOmnia thank you for reporting. Package updated, builded, but not tested.

You can try merging the two packages, I have submitted a request merging rescuetime into rescuetime2
UPDATE: the request is accepted and the packages are now merged

There is: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rescuetime2/ , which basically does what ZimbiX wrote.

That is, if you for some reason don't want to install the above (I don't see why) , changing those two lines in this PKGBUILD and then makepkg -si works as a charm...

The PKGBUILD should currently be adjusted to:

pkgver=2.14.2.1
sha256sums_x86_64=('ca9a0d437169e43e539d044f6aad7b1acb33fde461f381774f596778320581b3')

I voted for this package here on the AUR. Maybe that'd help getting more people to install it.
