pulse/libpulse and yaourt

So i noticed pulseaudio/libpulse pulled in systemd-dummy as a dependency, and I remember that I managed to build libpulse without systemd when using arch-openrc, so I went and did a yaourt -G pulseaudio to build, and what do you know, I was unable to get the package.
yaourt has (in its config file yaourtrc) the option to set AURURL, is there a way to set this to point to the github @  https://github.com/artix-linux ?
i get:
Code: [Select]
The URL https://github.com/artix-linux/rpc.php?v=5&type=info&arg[]=abs&arg[]= (followed by all my aur packages) returned error :404

on the other hand, can you rebuild libpulse/pulseaudio without systemd?
Code: [Select]
  --disable-systemd-daemon
                          Disable optional systemd daemon (socket activation)
                          support
  --disable-systemd-login Disable optional systemd login support
  --disable-systemd-journal
                          Disable optional systemd journal support

i was able to get the PKGBUILD from the github but fails to build for me because of perl-xml

For the perl-xml thing, you have to rebuild all your modules because of the perl update. Install cpanminus if you don't have it already.

Code: [Select]
# cpanm XML::Parser
That should do it although if it fails for some reason you can navigate to the directory in /.cpan/path/to/module and build it manually with perl Makefile.PL, make, make test, and make install.

i had to do three steps to solve the perl error:

Code: [Select]
 ln -s /usr/include/locale.h /usr/include/xlocale.h
Run "cpan XML::XPath" as a root
pacman -S perl-xml-parser perl-xml-xpa
I read some posts on archlinux forums and other pages that xlocale.h is no longer provided by glibc so I had to create the link but they could be wrong? I'll try to build pulse now

xlocale.h is located in /usr/include/wx-3.0/wx on my machine. I'm not sure what package provides that directory. Possibly wxPython?

The pulse audio problem I think is?
There are two pulseaudio packages an old one in world repo and a newer one in extra
If some dev could remove the world repo one I think most problems would be solved.

world is at 11.1 now i believe, and it does have:
Code: [Select]
     --with-systemduserunitdir=no \
     --enable-systemd-login=no \

just to be on the safe side i added to PKGBUILD @ the ./configure section:
Code: [Select]
     --disable-systemd-daemon \
     --disable-systemd-journal \
and i was able to remove rtkit, systemd-dummy and libsystemd-dummy, so i'm all set now

You are sort of right it is 11.1 but only in world testing in world master it is still 10 and looks quite different.

This might help somebody with the problem:

checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool

The XML module is included in /usr/lib/perl5/5.26/vendor_perl/ and it is not found by Perl, so I soft-linked vendor_perl into /usr/lib/perl5/ and that did the trick

For the newbies, as root:

Code: [Select]
# cd /usr/lib/perl5/
# ln -s 5.26/vendor_perl .
