Hello TUs,
please remove "xbmc-svn" (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20156) as it is now succeeded by xbmc-git (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45036). Also please remove the unmaintained xbmc skins: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O=0&K=xbmc&do_Orphans=Orphans&detai l=1&C=0&SeB=nd&SB=n&SO=a&PP=100 All the skins in the AUR aren't needed anyway, because skins use now the add-on interface and are now installed locally through xmbc.
Thanks in advance, Vlad
Hi,
Removed xmbc-svn.
As for the skins isn't it nice to let them be managed by pacman, mean gtk themes are also in AUR.
Lets put it this way: KDE allows you to get stuff for theming on its own tools, yet the AUR and, I believe, community and extra, all have themes and other extras for KDE. I don't think the program having a capacity for getting themes for itself is really cause for removing theme packages, especially in the event that the software getting its own themes doesn't work reliably. However, quite a few of these themes PKGBUILDs are out of date and still think XBMC is installed outside of /opt, which needs to be fixed.
