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.

@MS and @Tids - Not the fault of this PKGBUILD; makepkg has not supported this feature for some months now: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2015-September/020347.html

I also got the "makepkg: invalid option '--pkg'" error. I got the message when i tried to update backintime and backintime-cli, with both Pamac and yaourt, with the following answers (French language, but the order of questions should be the same): ==> Éditer PKGBUILD ? [O/n] -> n (No) ==> Lancer la compilation de backintime ? [O/n] -> o (Yes) ==> Installer seulement backintime ? [O/n] -> o (Yes) makepkg: option invalide '--pkg' For the update to work, you need to say 'No (n)' when asked if you want to install only backintime (3rd question), and likewise for backintime-cli.

@Tids - Why are you passing the --pkg option to makepkg?

fabiscafe commented on 2016-03-25 11:48 (UTC)

for me there is following error makepkg: invalid option '--pkg' so it wont build

@Wabuo: I see, thanks for the hint. So I will await the update for this package once upstream sorted out the last quirks...

@jmx it is a fixed bug. For further informations see the issue: https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/549

Somehow the .desktop for the "root" version of Backintime does not work for me. When I click the symbol from the applications menu, the mouse changes to the busy-icon but after a while it returns to normal with no application window appearing. Not even the prompt to enter my password appears. But when I enter `pkexec backintime-qt4` into a terminal (which is the Exec= line in the "root" version .desktop), I am instantly presented with the password prompt and Backintime starts fine afterwards. Why does this work from the terminal, but not from the GUI applications menu? Am I missing some settings somewhere? I'm on GNOME 3.18 from the standard repos.

Thanks a lot graysky. I can confirm that Aura works with 1.1.12-2.

graysky commented on 2016-02-15 18:46 (UTC)

@Simone - I honestly can't remember why I added the conflicts/provides arrays. Since they're so specific I'd like to think that I had a good reason. I just removed them and bumped to 1.1.12-2. Try your AUR wrapper.

catalin.hritcu commented on 2016-02-15 18:37 (UTC)

I can confirm what Simone98RC said, Aura doesn't work either.
