I’ve waited as long as I could, but sometimes even Arch updates aren’t as speedy as I’d like. To that end, here’s a couple of PKGBUILDs for programs I use, that haven’t been bumped up to current yet.

First, Kazehakase 0.5.1. The current version was released on or around December 29, and I figure after a week, the grace period has expired. And I already gave this out a few days ago, in another Kazehakase post.

pkgname=kazehakase
pkgver=0.5.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="GTK+ web browser using the Gecko engine"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://kazehakase.sourceforge.jp/"
license=('GPL')
depends=('xulrunner')
makedepends=('pkgconfig' 'intltool')

build() {
  [ -z "${MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH}" ] && . /etc/profile.d/mozilla-common.sh

  cd $startdir/src/kazehakase-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --with-gecko-engine=xulrunner \
    --with-ruby=no --with-rgettext=no
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

I changed nothing over the 0.5.0 PKGBUILD except the version number, release count and the md5sum, so I don’t take any credit (or blame) for your rebuilding experience. Also note that I tap the JAIST repository for the source code; if you live elsewhere on our fine little planet, you might want to use a different download location.

Next, Stella — an emulator for the Atari 2600 (I’m dating myself with this one). The version on AUR is 2.3.5, which is quite a bit out of date. Of course, even Hardy only has 2.2.x, so I suppose the Arch version is still newer.

pkgname=stella
pkgver=2.4.2
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A multi-platform Atari 2600 VCS emulator"
arch=('i686')
url="http://stella.sourceforge.net/"
license=('GPL')
depends=('gcc' 'sdl' 'zlib')
makedepends=('nasm' 'mesa')
source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/${pkgname}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}-src.tar.gz)
md5sums=('c5a6ba38151a5b961a3f74befe0a6bc2')

build() {
  cd ${startdir}/src/${pkgname}-${pkgver}
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=${startdir}/pkg install
}

Again, I only changed the version, release count and md5sum for the source tarball. If you don’t like the options used, feel free to adjust them.
