Thanks for updating. I confirm that it now builds in a clean chroot.

@a821, does it build now? I thought the previous commenter flagged it; I didn't check the comment date properly. As per your suggestion, I used the patches from the official snapper, which builds for me and works.

Edit: Solved.

@sradjoker: the package does not build because the patch files do not apply cleanly (makepkg fails in prepare()). This is why I flagged the package. If I update the package using the patches from the official snapper (https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/snapper), then it works. This is an easy fix.

I might be biased as the maintainer, but the package still builds and works. Also, the package itself is referenced on the archwiki as the developmental version of snapper. If AUR maintainers think the package is useless, please remove it; I don't mind.

This package has not had any updates since 2022 or comments since 2016. As snapper now appears in the Arch "extra" repo my guess is that this package is no longer required and can be removed, however when I go to mark it as 'out-of-date' i'm warned it's a "VCS" package (and therefore self-updating?)

I suspect this package would be better removed to reduce clutter on AUR, but maybe I am missing something?

@batGnat Can you please report that upstream and link us the issue here?

@teekay I am currently updating the PKGBUILD. I try to orientate on the official snapper package. The configure command especially disables some things like ext4 support. Are there any reasons for that or does the new version possibly disables this by default? I'd rather stick to the official PKGBUILD if there are no specific reasons. Otherwise we could also patch the official PKGBUILD.

teekay commented on 2014-04-29 13:00 (UTC)

@Reventlov: this is a -git package. The compile error is an upstream issue, but that doesn't qualify for flagging it out-of-date. Unflagged.
