So… one of the packages I like to use from the AUR (Duckie-TV), is about 7 months old. One of the features I use this package for, no longer works in this AUR version.
The updated version of this package is available as a nightly-build on the developers web-site as a tar.gz, and it works, but I have to run the package from the command line with “sudo” every time I want to use it.
I tried “chmod +x” but that didn’t seem to help.
Any idea on how to fix this?
Second question… how does this get “updated” in the AUR?
you can see that it uses a specific (now old) nightly version.
You can simply adapt the version numbers in the script,
run updpkgsums
and then makepkg to install the version you changed it to
Or you simply do the same with your .tar.gz as the PKGBUILD does:
extract it
copy it to /opt/DuckieTV
and do the symbolic links and chmod like in that script as well
From the PKGBUILD it is not obvious to me why you would need sudo to run it.
