It's still quite easy to build custom packages that are in
[community],
e.g. using the ABS [1]. You could use something like the following
command to sync PKGBUILDs from the repositories, edit your "config.h"
and build a new package (assuming that abs/sudo packages are
installed,
"$HOME/builds" is an existing directory and the EDITOR environment
variable is set correctly):
`pkgname=surf; sudo abs community/$pkgname && cp -r
/var/abs/community/$pkgname/ $HOME/builds && cd $HOME/builds/$pkgname
&&
$EDITOR config.h; makepkg -is`
Of course, you can also do this step-by-step or write a wrapper
script
if that looks too complicated to you... If you ever used the dwm
package
from [community], the same thing is done there :)
Your suggestion works for me, so I will be happy to let you take over
the package. Good luck with your application!
