(xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin-0.4.3/xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin-0.4.3.tar.bz2)
If wget is used to retrieve the file, the tarball name will be
correct. But if
a browser is used, it will be wrong.
Right you are. Thanks.
So, the user's options seem to be to use wget, and note that it will
unpack to a very long and ugly directory name, or use a browser and
get the same name in the tarball. The joys of github.
This might seem like an obvious question, or maybe I'm missing
something, but why not just use the same directory structure for
xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin as the one that's used for the other XFCE
packages?
For pretty much all of XFCE, download location begins with
"http://archive.xfce.org/ ..."
For xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin, I use
"https://archive.xfce.org/src/panel-plugins/xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin/0.4/xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin-0.4.3.tar.bz2";
Also of note is that keybinder-3.0-0.3.2 is an optional download; not
required. Secondly, my logs show no mention of xfce4-dev-tools-4.14.0
in the build. I'm not sure why this package is needed at all for XFCE
(unless it has something to do with xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin being built
with a Github download...)
I didn't use that URL because I didn't find it. I'll change to that.
Thanks a lot. I'll look at whether xfce4-dev-tools tools is needed or
not. At first glance, it looks like the new tarball does no need it.
