The first warning is fine. swapspace uses the directory for the files it creates, there won't be any swap files pre-packaged however :) The second warning should be fine too. Packages in base don't need to be explicitly defined as depends. I think namcap could be updated to be smarter about that.

Hmm, I hope I don't encounter any of the problems mentioned in the previous comments. That being said, this is what `namcap' outputs in yaourt: `swapspace W: Directory (var/lib/swapspace) is empty swapspace E: Dependency glibc detected and not included (libraries ['usr/lib/libc.so.6'] needed in files ['usr/bin/swapspace'])`

The daemon fails to deallocate the swap files. This is due to it failing to correctly identify the files in /proc/swap. By setting VARPREFIX to "/", swappath becomes "//var/lib/swapspace". The length of the string is computed before it is canonized, so swappath_len is off by one, finally preventing to validate the path of the files in /proc/swap. A workaround is to set VARPREFIX to ""

https://github.com/Tookmund/Swapspace/blob/5d53218727069f8a2a33bd89d8156e21640b1cdf/README#L10 If you install to somewhere other than /usr/local/ be sure to edit the ETCPREFIX and VARPREFIX variables in src/env.h as well as the initscript The default configuration path without modifying ETCPREFIX is /usr/local/etc/swapspace.conf not /etc/swapspace.conf

Error: Could not get filesystem information for swap directory '/usr/local/var/lib/swapspace': No such file or directory

Thanks. I've also taken the opportunity to redo the whole package for a proper systemd integration (no more shell script emulating the old initscripts). Please take note that instead of being wanted by multi-user.target anymore, it's now wanted by swap.target. You'll probably need to fix your systemd configuration if you have swapspace enabled. Doing so should be simple, either run "systemctl disable swapspace.service" before upgrading, or run "rm /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target/swapspace.service" afterwards, and then "systemctl enable swapspace.service".

This package wouldn't install for me as /usr/sbin is now just a symlink to /usr/bin, which is referenced in both Makefile.patch and systemd.scripts.swapspace. I've uploaded new copies of those two, plus the PKGBUILD with updated hashes to gist, here: https://gist.github.com/InfernoZeus/24e201605ffa67aafc5f

Sry, I flagged the package "out-of-date" by coincidence, I wanted to download the tarball :(
