Evaggelos Balaskas - System Engineer

so a few days ago xfce released 4.12 !!!

I keep my own custom local repository and just found the time to update my xfce to the latest version !

my PKGBUILDs are mostly a template of the below file (git repo)

# Contributor: Evaggelos Balaskas < Evaggelos _AT_ Balaskas _DOT_ GR >

_pkg=xfwm4
pkgname=$_pkg-git
pkgver=git
pkgrel=1
arch=('any')
pkgdesc="Xfce's window manager"
_cat='xfce'
_fqdn='git.xfce.org'
url="http://$_fqdn/$_cat/$_pkg"
license=('GPL v2')

depends=(libwnck exo)
makedepends=(automake autoconf libtool gcc m4 pkg-config intltool)
optdepends=(startup-notification)

conflicts=($_pkg)
provides=($_pkg)
replaces=($_pkg)

_gitroot="git://$_fqdn/$_cat"
_gitname=$_pkg

pkgver() {
    date +%Y%m%d
}

build() {

    if [ -d $_gitname ] ; then
        msg "cd $_gitname && git pull origin"
        cd $_gitname && git pull origin
        msg "The local files are updated."
    else
        msg "git clone $_gitroot/$_gitname"
        git clone $_gitroot/$_gitname
        msg "The local files are updated."
    fi

    cd $srcdir/$_pkg
    ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --disable-debug 

    make

}

package() {
    cd $srcdir/$_pkg
    make DESTDIR=$pkgdir install
}

The result is something like this:
