Looks like the fix got merged a couple of months ago: https://github.com/rkitover/vimpager/commit/d2682da90ead8590cd953135d1bf2b97e5b701ea

So there is development happening, it's just coming in fits and bursts. I'll update the package shortly. Thanks for the heads up!

Hello. Building this package in a clean Chroot chokes on the pandoc patch. Removing the patch allows the build to complete. Resulting binary appears to work.

Is vimplayer still supported upstream? Superceded by newer/better package? There are 3yr old fixes pending in Git trunk, but no official release.

There are some known bugs in vimpager with some shells (depending on which are installed). It might be nice to add "POSIX_SHELL=$(which bash)" to the make install step. For more info see https://github.com/rkitover/vimpager/issues?q=is:issue%20POSIX_SHELL%20

Be advised, I've had an issue that basically renders all vimpager scripts non-executable (the installation process mangles up shebangs somehow), here's the upstream report: https://github.com/rkitover/vimpager/issues/201 If you have a similar issue, you might want to add 'git checkout 2.06' to pkgver() in the PKGBUILD. UPDATE: As per that Github issue, this patch (tested and applied) hardcodes /usr/bin/bash as the shebang interpreter https://gist.github.com/bacondropped/eb5193acb139e6f990c5c6fe1b7ed61d. UPDATE: Nevermind, the current git master now fixes this problem (as it turns out, it was a problem with busybox).

Please add 'git' to the makedepends array.

It would be better to use "git+https" Download agent instead of "git" in sources. Many times the port used by "git" protocol is blocked, but "https" is always open. The source line can be changed to source=('git+https://github.com/rkitover/vimpager.git')

I suggest this patch to the PKGBUILD because I get an error during packaging if the license dir does not exist and I think the license should be in a dir corresponding to the program name, not the package name. @@ -32,6 +32,7 @@ package() { make PREFIX="/usr" SYSCONFDIR="/etc" DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install - ln -s "/usr/share/licenses/vim/license.txt" "${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}/license.txt" + mkdir -p "${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname%-git}" + ln -s "/usr/share/licenses/vim/license.txt" "${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname%-git}/license.txt" }
