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.

@Germar Thanks so much! I am finally again able to take a (root) backup. Keep on your work on this excellent piece of software!

Thanks! You didn't test the new udev schedule yet. So there is no udev rule to delete. If you do I'd appreciate some feedback.

...and welcome to Arch!

graysky commented on 2013-10-22 21:35 (UTC)

On my system, only the first line in the readme.install applied; the other two returned nulls (fine with the -f switch). Thanks again for your active development of this excellent util.

@graysky I was uncomfortable with fiddling around in home, too. But with 'purge' people expect to have a complete clean start again and where complaining that the config is still in there (most times their problems where somewhere else than config) Anyways, removing the udev rules and .pyc should be enough.

Bump to v1.0.28-5 Changelog: Applied upstream patch to fix gksu issues.

@Germar - Done and done. Your question about a purge function is, I think, answered in the readme.install file which I included. I kept a few lines of the script you referenced, but I think it's an Arch no-no to modify any file in a user homedir so I omitted that bit. Look in the readme.install to see.

@hal - Read down a few comments; AUR helper scripts do not seem to handle split packages with the dep structure well.

Germar commented on 2013-10-22 18:46 (UTC)

@graysky please append this patch[1]. It will fix both the 'gksu backintime-gnome' problem and the 'backintime-askpass' problem. 'python2-gnomekeyring' is now save to be removed completely but keep 'python2-secretstorage' in deps. I'm not sure if there is something similar to 'apt-get purge' in Arch (I'm quite new to Arch). But if it is, it would be wise to implement the same as we do for Debian/Ubuntu in 'common/debian_specific/postrm'[2]. This will purge all config, udev rules and other leftovers.

I had the same problem as hal and managed to install backintime-kde4 by running pacman -U /tmp/yaourt-tmp-hal/backintime-1.0.28-4-any.pkg.tar.xz pacman -U /tmp/yaourt-tmp-hal/backintime-kde4-1.0.28-4-any.pkg.tar.xz (adapted to your username, hal)
