amaroK-svn script installs the current development version of amaroK (from SVN) on your computer. If you've run it once, and then run it again, it will update your version of amaroK and only compile the new files.
(amaroK-svn was earlier known as get-amarok-svn.sh.)
The latest version needs some KDE applications (installing KDE is recommended) and "svn" (subversion, 1.1 or higher!) to work.
Made by Jocke "Firetech" Andersson. Based on a very simple script by Greg "oggb4mp3" Meyer.
Usage:
- Open up a terminal window. (For example Konsole.)
- "cd" to the directory where you put the file (E.G. "cd /home/you/amarok")
- Run the following command:
chmod +x amarok-svn.sh
- To Download and install amaroK SVN, run the following command:
./amarok-svn.sh
Notes
When you start the script for the first time, you will be asked some questions. The answers to these will be saved, and you will not be asked for the answers again (unless you want to)
To change the settings run the script with either -r or --reset. E.G:
./amarok-svn.sh -r
The first time you run the script it will take some time to finish. (On my computer it takes about 15 minutes...)
You might want to run this script at least once a day to always have the newest version of amaroK. (This will not take as long time as the first run.)
What's New in This Release:
FIX: Amarok-svn would continue to installation even if compilation failed, due to an "echo" call in the wrong place. (The "clean compilation on error" feature was tested before the "echo" was added...)
FIX: Avoid forgotten files to be compiled when running unsermake install by running unsermake twice (doesn't hurt).
