Hello Kees :)

I just want to give you some information how wixi is supported in
archlinux.

1st there is normal version, that gets updated as soon as stable
package is released. It is currently maintained by Ghost1227, a very
nice person:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22897

Then there is GIT version, built recently and maintained by me, which
fetches code from GIT instead.
It is usefull for developers, as it is versionless and provides fast
way of testing out recent features:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30497

You can put both informations on front page, if you desire :)

Shin.

Just a small note, if you decide to refresh main page, please say -git
version is maintained by Crazycheese and please dont mention
Shinobiteno. This is an old nickname, that I will eventually drop
(including here). :)

Thanks. =)

Ok, i will put the information on the Download page. Isn't there a command
in Archlinux so the user can grep the latest package? Or how does it get the
dependencies?

Cheers,
Kees

To find out:
yaourt -Ss wixi

To install:
yaourt -S wixi-git (for git version)
yaourt -S wixi (for normal version)

To uninstall:
yaourt -Rsn wixi
or
yaourt -Rsn wixi-git

You have to manually delete local config (~/.wixi.cfg) after that, its
a feature, not bug.
Pacman does not mess with customized configs.

If there is no yaourt installed, you have to reside to standard way:

Archlinux database is separated in two big pieces: supported and
unsupported.
- Supported consists of 3 branches(base,extra,community) and recieves
most attention of core team. Supported includes PKGBUILD recipes as
well as precompiled binaries.

- Unsupported is community repo. It does not have any binaries, only
recipes, but there is a vote system. Packages with most votes make its
way into supported. Anyone can make his own AUR package.

PKGBUILDS are rather very easy to understand and make, pacman does
great job on automatically placing files and resolving dependancies,
you just describe the package and place build instructions(where to
download, what to execute). Thats it.

Thanks for sharing the information about the development in Archlinux. I
know Archlinux has a strong and friendly community :-)

Ive added the additional info on the Download page.

Grts,
Kees
