Gajim and python-nbxmpp upgrade
A new Gajim version, alongside its internal library python-nbxmpp
,
have been released some time ago. These packages have not been updated
(yet) on community. I've no problem with it, as a AUR packages maintener
myself I totally understand the maintainer could be under heavy load or
just lose interest in these packages. Thus, don't misinterpret my
message: I'm not here to blame anyone, but just to provide a quick
solution for people looking for the update 🙂
So, if like me you want to use the last Gajim version, I've just
published the updated PKGBUILDs on my own git repository and provide
prebuilt packages on my own package repository. As it should be
temporary, these two packages (gajim
and python-nbxmpp
) are not
exposed on the home page of my repository, but once you've enabled it,
you should be able to do the upgrade through:
pacman -S milouse/gajim milouse/python-nbxmpp
For those interested, the upgrade comes with a new required dependency
for Gajim: python-css-parser
. The python-nbxmpp
PKGBUILD also
required a makedepends line for python-setuptools
.
