Hello, I was successful in building an mrxvt package for Arch Linux. If it's OK, I would like to submit it to the Arch User Repository (AUR). To that end I would also like to add a .desktop file to the tarball as many desktops and window managers use them. I would then upload the modified tarball to the git repository I created thus far.
I also need to know what are the depends and build-depends of mrxvt. I haven't seen this anywhere in the README. Should I assume they're the same as those of rxvt? Are the above points OK with you? :) Best regards, Andy Mender On 9 September 2016 at 07:02, Andy Mender <andymenderu...@gmail.com> wrote: > Greetings, > > 1.
