Please delete the snake_ [1] package with 0 votes uploaded today. It's the same software provided by the snake_pygame [2] package. It the meanwhile take a look at the snake_pygame PKGBUILD, really utterly broken. I hope to avoid to see stuff like that again.

For reference, here is the a copy of the PKGBUILD, which was indeed bad: http://pastebin.com/8XCvHR2U Muflone, your assessment is correct, but posting "this pkgbuild is shit" in the comments section is neither helpful nor appropriate. Users who submit packages to the AUR are trying to contribute to the community. If they fail to do this well due to a lack of technical skills then you should offer advice and encourage them to improve their skills. The game itself [1] currently expects to be run directly in the user's home directory. The developer has not yet given any thought to proper packaging and it is therefore inappropriate to package this for Arch Linux. I will therefore delete the packages with a note to contact the developer to address this issue. Regards, Xyne [1] http://sourceforge.net/projects/snakepygame/
Hello Xyne I've already contacted the author and we're in the progress to rewrite this pkgbuild from scratch. So please don't delete the package at this time, there's a chance to fix the sources to run properly from a system directory. Best regards Muflone Il 28/09/2013 19:10, Xyne ha scritto:

I have already deleted the package. I have also sent an email to the author recommending the creation of a proper Python setup script for centralized installation along with the internal use of pyxdg (python-xdg) to manage user configuration and data files. As I told the maintainer/developer, I hope to see the package re-uploaded once these changes have been made. I am sure that you will get that 1 vote back and many more. Regards, Xyne
yay snake! I have an unfinished one lying around on a... much more unpopular platform than pygame. meh, let's see if I can get my old buddy's java homework (which mostly I ended up doing) from him. Hmm, that reminds me, he reported heavy disk failures last time we communicated...
I have already deleted the package.
Xyne, looks like you removed the incorrect one? snake_ remained, whereas snake_pygame should. -- Kind regards, Damian Nowak StratusHost www.AtlasHost.eu

I thought I had removed both as neither was correct. I must have missed the --confirm option for snake_. It's gone now. Thanks!
