Amarok-svn is a script that enables users to install the latest version of amaroK (from SVN) onto their computer. This development version is beneficial as it has the most recent updates and improvements available, allowing for an enhanced user experience.
AmaroK-svn script is a cutting-edge solution for a constant update of the development version of amaroK (from SVN) on your computer. With this tool, you can run it once and then run it again to update your amaroK version and only compile new files. Amarok-svn was previously known as get-amarok-svn.sh. This latest version requires the installation of some KDE applications (installing KDE is recommended) and "svn" (subversion, 1.1 or higher!) to work. Developed by Jocke "Firetech" Andersson and based on a simple script by Greg "oggb4mp3" Meyer.
To use Amarok-svn, simply open up a terminal window (such as Konsole), "cd" to the directory where you put the file (e.g., "cd /home/you/amarok"), and run the following command: chmod +x amarok-svn.sh. To download and install amaroK SVN, run this command: ./amarok-svn.sh.
When you start the script for the first time, you will be asked some questions, and the answers to these will be saved. You won't be asked for 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 (approximately 15 minutes on average computers). 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 as the first run.
In the latest release, unsermake was moved in KDE's SVN. If you let Amarok-svn download unsermake before, you'll have to remove your amarok-svn/unsermake directory before running the script. If you have unsermake installed system-wide, you don't need this patch.
Overall, Amarok-svn is an excellent tool for those who want to keep their music player up to date with the latest developments. It's straightforward to use and updates efficiently, making it an essential tool for music enthusiasts.
