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.

Yea ofc. Thanks for your efforts guys!

We are currently working on a new major version 1.1.0 which will come with only one Qt4 GUI. It will run on all DEs so there is no need for splitting anymore. So maybe you could live with the current situation for a couple more month until we are done with 1.1.0?

blackshark commented on 2013-12-19 19:29 (UTC)

Imho the simplest would be to split into different packages with dependencies. But actually I do not master this kind of stuff, so I can't help you on this... :/

graysky commented on 2013-12-19 19:24 (UTC)

Perhaps you are referring to the group options? I'm not sure how to deal with that for this split PKGBUILD. Basically, I can remove the -gtk option but then non-gnome users will have extra deps to use BIT which is something I don't want to force on people. I am open to suggestions to make this easier.

blackshark commented on 2013-12-19 19:21 (UTC)

Sure, I understand, and thanks for your job! If I remember when you install Gnome (all the environment) that ask you which package you want to install.

graysky commented on 2013-12-19 19:15 (UTC)

I'm doing my best to keep the PKGBUILD as close to the Distro Standards as possible. Adding a selector to it would be over the top indeed. Which gnome packages offer this?

blackshark commented on 2013-12-19 19:10 (UTC)

@graysky: Why do not implement a selector (like for gnome packages) ? It's pretty impratical to update/install your package. It's a pity because your work is really good!

graysky commented on 2013-12-19 12:18 (UTC)

Just build first, and install second. makepkg -src makepkg -U ...

@graysky: How do I select if I want bit-gnome or bit-gtk? I cant't find the part in the PKGBUILD where I can select if -gnome or -gtk should be installed

You got it... plz post here when you want it bumped.
