Does anyone mind if I update the kde-common i686 package to remove the artwork stuff? I see Tobias is the maintainer, but he's currently away right?
I say go for it.
I've updated the kde-common package for i686, but I can't build it for x86_64. I guess it's time to start looking for a 3rd computer...
Actually, this is one of those packages that could easily be for the 'any' arch. Basically, since it's all scripts, and all of 'em are just copied into the proper locations, you can cheat - change your arch in makepkg.conf, rebuild the package (generating an x86_64 package, which is identical to the i686 one) and upload it, then change back your makepkg.conf
Since you're not building any code, this'll work fine.
Yeah yeah I need to work the any arch into these scripts. That's another step down the road.
Could someone paste the exact modifications required in the makepkg.conf? I'll add this to the wiki somewhere.
Erm, it's a bit of a hack, so make sure if you DO add it to the wiki, you slather it in warnings like "OMG please be sure you know what you're doing". Considering this is only scripts, you should only need to change the CARCH variable so that makepkg will generate an x86_64 package. Now, there is actually another way to hack this... you can actually just edit the .PKGINFO file, change the %ARCH% variable, and rename the file. Though, I think, 'extrapkg' would need the makepkg.conf changes in order to upload it properly For the record, vim can open and allow you to edit files in a tarball.
