@punkrockguy318 Those gitkeep files are part of the official package from flashpeak.

You might want to report that upstream.

package() in this PKGBUILD currently installs various empty .gitkeep files

$ pacman -Ql slimjet | grep gitkeep
slimjet /opt/.gitkeep slimjet /usr/bin/.gitkeep slimjet /usr/share/doc/slimjet/.gitkeep slimjet /usr/share/man/man1/.gitkeep.gz

I overhauled the PKGBUILD pretty heavily. I brought the dependencies up to date, fixed the permissions issues where everything in opt was being set executable and removed a bunch of unused/unneeded misc stuff.

I tested it quite a bit but if anything is no longer working please let me know.

@TrialnError, yes, I never cleaned it up properly after I took it over. I will take a look at it this week.

Hi.
I noticed some quirks with this PKGBUILD.
Firstly provides and replaces should be removed from the PKGBUILD. The first one doesn't do anything and the latter is used wrongly in this case :)
Same goes for the makedepends line. I kinda understand why it was added (architecture specific sources and deps) but it isn't really a makedep of slimjet itself.
Extracting the source is something that should be done in the prepare-function. package() should only contain the instructions where stuff gets shoved into $pkgdir.
All points which can be read in the AUR Guidelines in the Arch wiki in case you're wondering if I'm telling the truth :D

Best regards

@twnaing, two comments.

1. Wouldn't that force the proprietary codecs on everyone?
2. Are you allowed to include an unofficial binary like that in an AUR package? I thought that was considered bad form.

@dalto, with separate approach, ffmpeg code will be overwritten by slimjet package on every update.

Isn't it better to have latest (compatible) ffmpeg as another source?

I mean I am not sure I can explain it any better than it is explained in what you copied in.

It wants root access the first time it runs, you select the number for what you want to do.

@dalto i don't understand it:
$ flashpeak-slimjet
Admin access is needed to enable the sandbox for enhanced security. Choose 'Use sudo command' if you have sudo access on systems like ubuntu. Choose 'Use su command' if you have access to root account. If you don't have admin access, select 'Quit' and add the switch '--no-sandbox' to run Slimjet without sandbox (less secure).
1) Use sudo command
2) Use su command
3) Quit
Please select an option to proceed:
Google chrome have exactly all these stuffs ?

@abd, if something isn't working you need to say what it is specifically for me to investigate it.

That being said, if something is failing to compile, it probably isn't this package but one of it's dependencies since this package is a binary.

Other than that, try running it from a terminal by typing flashpeak-slimjet
