@light9876 If you must do it by hand, then I'm guessing you're not using an AUR helper (like yay, paru, etc)?

Unfortunately that's the nature of the AUR: any and all packages, along with their dependencies, must be built from source (unless they're closed-source and distributed as binaries only). AUR helpers can help with that by largely automating the process, and in this case the Perl dependencies rarely if ever get any updates, so it should mostly be a "build them once, use them for a long time" scenario - perhaps, if you're not already doing so, you should be keeping the built dependencies around to be used for future rebuilds of Zoneminder instead of deleting them?

Such a long list of dependencies required, all need to be installed by hand. It would be nice if the installation script could do it automatically. So far I have to do:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/perl-net-sftp-foreign.git
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/perl-php-serialization.git
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/perl-sys-cpu.git
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/perl-sys-mmap.git
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/perl-uri-encode.git
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/perl-io-interface.git
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/perl-io-socket-multicast.git
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/perl-soap-wsdl.git
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/perl-crypt-eksblowfish.git
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/perl-data-entropy.git
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/perl-class-mix.git

And build each one. And this list isn't finished!

Isn't it possible to move this package out of AUR into the main repositories?

Question: Quote: "/etc/nginx/nginx.conf and add the following line at the end of the http block: "...

Should the end of nginx.conf look like this, with the line inside the http block? As I read it, yes. But if I'm wrong, do correct me while I try to get the web interface started...

CODE:
# root html;
# index index.html index.htm;
# }
#}
include sites-enabled/*.conf;
}

Thanks!! :)

@ilsensine Well, as I said, it's been a few years since I first wrote them and things (software versions, best practices, known security issues, etc) have surely changed since then, and they were already pretty bare-bones to begin with; and I'm kind of worried not only that they may be outdated, but also that they may actually prove harmful to the average user who decides to blindly trust them and use them without a second thought, due to something or another that they may have failed to take into account (especially the Apache version).

So I'm thinking that the best way forward is to deprecate them and direct the users to either use the official upstream versions, or figure things out on their own and create the config files from scratch. In both cases, the responsibility for things potentially breaking would no longer be mine :)

But anyway, maybe I'm worrying over nothing, so I'll let things lie for the time being.

@boogschutter I've left a reply for you over at the zmeventnotification package page.

Anyone else having trouble with zmeventnotification installation?

yolov3-tiny.weights ... FAILED
yolov3-tiny ... FAILED

EDIT:
Weirdly enough... The links given as 404 in the above comment-link, apparently still work and gives 2 files to download:
- https://data.pjreddie.com/files/yolov3-tiny.weights
- https://data.pjreddie.com/files/yolov3.weights

So... Why am I getting FAILED in my terminal? Should I add pjreddie as another source? I'll start looking around :)
