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.

@zozo - Yes, see my previous comment about AUR helper scripts.

@graysky: tried to remove backintime first, then reinstall it with the new PKGBUILD, to no avail, same error. But I tried to install it with packer. That would be the explanation, then? Anyway, packer builds the packages alright, I just have to "cd" into the build directory and "pacman -U" does the trick.

@orschiro - I don't use helper scripts believing that they are all evil ;p The split PKG is designed to do just this type of work. Making separate PKGBUILDs for the various flavors would be inefficient and a pain to maintain.

@graysky Thanks for clarifying. The drawback with this approach is that it cannot be automatised with helpers such as Aura. What about splitting backintime into separate AUR packages?

graysky commented on 2013-10-19 18:50 (UTC)

@orschiro - When you `makepkg -src` it will build all four packages. You simply need to `pacman -U backintime-foo...` to select the one you want.

@gravsky So how can I explicitly install the -gtk version instead of the -gnome one? I am on Cinnamon 2.0.2 which now no longer depends on Gnome. Thus I would like to install the gtk version only.

@zozo - Works for me... can you first remove backintime and then try to install the qt4 version? @coderkun - The -gtk version does not depend on gnome-session whereas the -gnome version does.

@graysky: What is the difference between backintime-gnome and backintime-gtk?
