Arch Linux User Repository

So, the upstream repo has been archived. I will be updating this and the other packages to use Auto Unlocker instead, hopefully will be migrated within the next week or so, depending on uni work.

As of version 4.2.5, building is borked again. Use the -bin package or the -git package for now.

As of version 4.2.2, all previously reported building issues have been resolved.

Read the pinned comment. There is nothing I can do until DrDonk releases a new version of the program. Use the -bin version instead, or -git works fine.

If you cannot build this package, it is an issue upstream. I have already made a pull request to the upstream git repo to try to get it working again. The -bin version is unaffected.

EDIT: I feel I should explain what is going on. This package git pulls from the latest tagged release in the upstream repo. In that tag there was a bug in the build script which caused erroneous builds. The pull request I made was accepted into the main branch, but those do not affect past tags for obvious reasons. Until version 4.3.0 or 4.2.2 or whatever is tagged by DrDonk in the upstream repo, I can't so anything to stop build errors.

EDIT 2: For those curious, the build error in the upstream repo builds the binaries into $srcdir/$pkgname/dist/, naming the binary linux. The way it's supposed to work is that it needs to build to $srcdir/$pkgname/dist/linux/, naming the binaries after each of their respective actions. This is not an issue for the -bin version because that is precompiled and it's not an issue for the -git version because that pulls from the master branch.

DO NOT FLAG THIS PACKAGE OUT OF DATE OR COMMENT ABOUT YOUR BUILD ERRORS, I ALREADY KNOW OF THEM AND THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO.

@FabioLolix sure I'll get on that. I've already made a few iterations but my mains electricity is down. Waiting for that to go back up and I'll make those changes, including creating a new -bin repo (will also see if I can get it to compile properly).

Thanks.

Hello,

• this is a disguised -bin pkgbuild, you can both correct this to build from source and upload vmware-unlocker-bin; but it can't stay as it is
• git not used as makedepends
• no need to add as makedepends packages of base-devel group (libarchive)
• the MIT license need to be installed
• no need to to add developer credits
• please use sha256 or higher for hash check
