My package, godesk (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37635), is no longer needed. Apparently the archlinux community (maybe only me) pestered them enough for them to decide to make official packages! (http://www.odesk.com/community/node/234) This new edition was apparently created at the expense of the static version.

At the bottom of the page it says "oDesk supports the following Linux versions: Ubuntu 8.10+, Debian 4+, Fedora 9+ and OpenSuse 11+." It does not say archlinx... but I guess it is a start.

Of course I couldn't use any of the AUR package managers (bauerbill, paktahn, yaurt, etc) to get their package :-(

Could you pester them a little bit more to get them to maintain a source package on AUR? ;-)

/M

no need, check that link: http://www.odesk.com/community/node/234 again near the bottom.

it's inside a zip file but meh.

My concern is more about using tools to automatically get updates. I see no way of using any established tools to do that :-( /M -- Magnus Therning                        (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org          Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus         identi.ca|twitter: magthe
