[Gambas-user] Ease of maintaining Gambas3 on an ARCH LINUX BOX

[richard terry]

Noticing the constant procession of people having difficulty updating gambas:


Not wanting or meaning to start a flame war, just to point out if anyone is 
interested in a really really simple brilliant linux which makes re-compiling 
gambas on a daily basis really easy - try out (you could use virtual box I 
guess) ARCH linux. (www.archlinux.org)

With its simple config files and PKGBUILD files, it is simply a matter of 
changing the version number  each morning which I do when I go to work, and 
in a few minutes you've the latest package to install.

Mind you, I'd stick to kde3 branch as I think KDE4 stinks at the moment.

If anyone on the list uses ARCH, here is my package build (may be inaccurate 
but seems to compile)

Also include these in pacman.conf, firstly to get KDE3 and not 4

[kde3]
Server=http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~jkschmid/arch/kde3/i686

And the binary version of virtual box.

Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686/
