I was looking in the repositories earlier and noticed that the banshee in there is flagged out of date. Therefore, I went and found the tarball and with assistance from a few other PKGBUILDS was able to get it to build. Here is the PKGBUILD: # Contributor: Pauline123 (Pauline Martin) <321eniluap at gmail dot com> # Contributor: György Balló <ballogy@freestart.hu> # Contributor: Matthias Sobczyk <matthias.sobczyk@googlemail.com> # Contributor: György Balló <ballogy@freestart.hu> pkgname=banshee pkgver=2.1.0 _pkgver=2.1 pkgrel=3 pkgdesc="Music management and playback for GNOME (development release)" arch=('i686' 'x86_64') url="http://banshee.fm/" license=('MIT') depends=('boo>=0.8.1' 'dbus-sharp-glib>=0.5' 'desktop-file-utils' 'gconf-sharp' 'gdata-sharp>=1.4' 'gkeyfile-sharp>=0.1' 'gstreamer0.10-base-plugins' 'gtk-sharp-beans>=2.14.0' 'gudev-sharp>=0.1' 'hicolor-icon-theme' 'libgpod>=0.7.95' 'libmtp>=0.2.0' 'libwebkit>=1.2.2' 'libxxf86vm' 'musicbrainz' 'media-player-info' 'mono-addins>=0.3.1' 'mono-zeroconf>=0.8.0' 'notify-sharp-svn' 'shared-mime-info' 'taglib-sharp>=2.0.3.7' 'xdg-utils' 'hal') makedepends=('intltool' 'gnome-doc-utils') optdepends=('brasero: CD burning' 'gstreamer0.10-good-plugins: Extra media codecs' 'gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins: Extra media codecs' 'gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins: Extra media codecs' 'gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg: Extra media codecs') provides=('banshee') conflicts=('banshee' 'banshee-1-svn' 'banshee-git') options=('!libtool') install=${pkgname}.install source=( http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/${pkgname}/${_pkgver}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.bz2 ) md5sums=('4cbec8d2640be5b9b6157d3245969153') build() { export MONO_SHARED_DIR="${srcdir}/.wabi" mkdir -p "${MONO_SHARED_DIR}" cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}" ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var \ --disable-docs \ --disable-static \ --disable-scrollkeeper \ --with-vendor-build-id=ArchLinux make } package() { export MONO_SHARED_DIR="${srcdir}/.wabi" mkdir -p "${MONO_SHARED_DIR}" cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}" make DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install install -D -m644 COPYING "${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}/COPYING" } Here is the banshee.install that goes with it: pkgname=banshee post_install() { update-desktop-database -q update-mime-database usr/share/mime &> /dev/null xdg-icon-resource forceupdate } post_upgrade() { post_install $1 } post_remove() { post_install $1 } Hope this was of some help. :) Pauline123
