@gonzo2028: There are 2 alternative ways: 1. @aaronfischer splits the package into 25 different ones and whenever there is an update he will have to update 25 individual packages; good for the useres, not so good for the maintainer. 2. @aaronfischer "merges" all the files from the split packages into a single package. This will result in installing binaries, udev rules and .desktop files for 25 devices for every user. Less work for the maintainer, not practical for the users. As is it, the maintainer maintains one single "split-package" and users that use an AUR helper such as yaourt, can uninstall the packages they don't need. This way users get to keep only the files they need to support their own device and the maintainer does not have to modify and commit 25 packages every time there is an update. Hope this helps clear it.

@edward_81: Please read the previous comments here. I've talked to Stefan about this. Every version of roccat-tools need a specific version of libgaminggear to work correctly. There are two options here: Consistent/reliable package and a little bit of hasle on upgrades -- or easy upgrade process and the chance of a broken package with weird bugs everywhere. I've choosen the first option.

Is possible to change the dependency line for libgaminggear from: libgaminggear=0.11.1 to: libgaminggear>=0.11.1 Because every time i try to upgrade the system with yaourt/aur, it complain that roccat-tool-common need that exactly version of libgaminggear.

After today's mtdev update the mouse stopped working completely, in both Xorg and terminal, until uninstalling this package.

This package actually supports nearly all Roccat mice. The description is misleading and deleting the word "Savu" from it would have saved me a trip to google :) Can't wait for my Kova+ to ship!

@C5OK5Y @russo79 Why not ask the one who should know? There still are 3 kernel patches pending for 3.10: - Kone media key support - Support for IskuFX - Support for KonePure http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/jikos/hid.git/log/?h=for-3.10/roccat

https://github.com/xpander69/xpander-archbuilds/tree/master/roccat-tools 0.18.0 pkgbuild seems to work fine (however i have older kmod-roccat still installed) gonna test without it next time i reboot (which happens rarely)

russo79 commented on 2013-04-23 07:13 (UTC)

@C5OK5Y It seems that effectively, there were changes made to these drivers in the 3.8 stable branch of the linux kernel. Could you try to install this package without installing the kmod-roccat package and give some feedback ?

smp commented on 2013-04-20 18:59 (UTC)

@russo79: You mentioned this - "You now need to install kmod-roccat. The new versions of the tools use features that are not available on the kernel version of the drivers." Is that still a current issue are have the changes been merged upstream?

russo79 commented on 2013-04-07 08:39 (UTC)

Hello everyone, I know that version 0.17 is out. I will package it for the end of next week. Now that roccat uses uinput I have to put something in place to avoid conflicts on device permissions with gnome15 packages.

@russo79 thank you for pointing that, I've looked at bugs, wiki, forum and missed the news tab lol

@mangus: https://sourceforge.net/p/roccat/news/2013/02/kmod-roccat-080-and-roccat-tools-0160/ Excerpt: The status icon is gone, all GUI's are single applications now. Roccatgui is reduced to a mere eventhandler. This leads to a lower memory footprint and events are not blocked by modal GUI dialogs anymore.
