Arch Linux User Repository

Unfortunately I've not had time to maintain this package and my Arch system has grown quite disused this year. As such, I've disowned the package and transfered ownership to SpotlightKid.

Thank you for posting the updated PKGBUILD, please go ahead and upload it to the repo.

Here's an updated PKGBUILD:

• Removed obsolete .install files and dependencies
• Don't install license file, it's already in the 'licenses' package
• Fixed license field
• Changed source URL to archive for fixed commit hash (Only *-git packages should use a checkout of the HEAD of a repo.)
• Added .gitignore file
• Changed source hash from MD5 to SHA256

The package xorg-font-utils was removed. Please update the dependencies.

The install scripts should probably do "fc-cache -s" rather than "fc-cache -f" to avoid rebuilding the entire cache. Additionally, the fontconfig hook does this automatically so it's probably not necessary to do this in the install script.

Apologies for the delay on a fix. The upstream repository had added a script version, and changed the directory structure.

I've split the package and added https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-xkcd-script-font/ as well, for those that wish to try it.

Install script is broken. The path seems to be wrong. Probably easy to fix, but not for me :D
