February 8, 2014 at 03:43 PMFeb 8, 2014 hello, i made brickd and brickv available on aur. if you're using arch linux, you're encouraged to try them and provide feedback. you may also test perl bindings. thank you. jose https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brickv/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brickd/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-tinkerforge/
February 10, 2014 at 12:57 PMFeb 10, 2014 Thanks for packaging our software and spreading the word. I did not actually test the packages, but here are some comments from just looking at the AUR webpages: The brickv package has a brickd dependency, but brickv can be used without brickd on the same system and even without brickd at all, if you're connected to a stack with a WIFI or Ethernet Extension. Maybe in archlinux packages can recommend other packages the way Debian packages can? brickd doesn't use libusb-0.1 as provided by the libusb-compat package, but it uses libusb-1.0 as provided by libusbx package. Because libusb-compat itself depends on libusb-1.0 brickd ends up with the correct dependency. You could just cut libusb-compat from the dependency chain and depend on libusb-1.0 directly. The Perl bindings you packaged from CPAN are not the official ones. They were created by a user, are incomplete and outdated by now. The official ones can be found here: http://www.tinkerforge.com/en/doc/Software/API_Bindings_Perl.html They are not on CPAN yet, but will be soon.
