@fukawi2 - Can you modify the PKGBUILD to work with other DEs like lxde? I can verify that the gnome dependency set will build a functional package for lxde users.

Bump to version 1.0.4
fukawi2 commented on 2010-10-27 22:07 (UTC)
Right -- it hasn't been packaged and released on the main website, so since this isn't a -bzr package, it can't be updated until that happens.

The developer has released 1.0.4 on launchpad. https://code.launchpad.net/backintime
With a critical bug fixed, I thought it should be updated here. Sorry if I misunderstood it.

Again, why is this marked out of date?? There is NO NEW VERSION on the developers website. Please do NOT mark out of date if it isn't.

Fixed a bash syntax error that would have broken Gnome and *box installations. Please rebuild using the new PKGBUILD if you DO NOT use KDE.

PKGBUILD updated to patch the /usr/bin/ scripts to use python2
domanov commented on 2010-10-20 14:51 (UTC)
Turns out, python2 needs to be called as interpreter in the bash scripts. The workaround is to simply change:
from:
python ${APP_PATH}/app.py "$@"
to:
python2 ${APP_PATH}/app.py "$@"
in /usr/bin/backintime, -gnome and -kde4. Works flawlessy :)
Of course python2 has to be installed, but I think it is the default for arch. PKGBUILD (dependencies and so on) needs to be changed.

Yep, same here

Using an AUR helper such as yay to build packages including backintime is HIGHLY discouraged. The recommended build method is to use a clean chroot. See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot
I wrote a script that automates much of that called clean-chroot-manager offered here in the AUR.
Please stop posting build failures because you insist on building with yay or other AUR helpers.
