Hi guys,

I've adopted this package since it was unmaintained and abandoned for years.

It should work now, please tell me if you have any problems.

I've added the speech-dispatcher package to optional, it seems to work without it, and it starts working if it gets installed afterwards.

I cannot install due to: 

==> Building and installing package

I use dasher daily, so any help will be appreciated.

Another note:

gnome-autogen.sh spills out some warnings, which might evolve to build failures in the future:

==> Starting prepare()...

A note: /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/dasher.gschema.xml makes some complications:

:: Running post-transaction hooks...
(1/3) Compiling GSettings XML schema files...
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/dasher.gschema.xml:4:1  Error on line 4 char 1: Invalid name “DrawMouseLine”: names must begin with a lowercase letter.  This entire file has been ignored.

There are more entries whose names begin uppercase.

I don't know if just renaming it lowercase is OK or if it breaks other things ...

Please prepend the source-entry with git+.

Please set the actual version number, since you check out a specific git commit. Put your pkgver in the AUR does not reflect the pkgver that will be computed after checkout.

Please set pkgver=5.0.0.alpha+24+gb0a3e180, or anything newer if you decide to upgrade your package to any newer version.
