jgeboski's repository is gone

[Saverio Miroddi]

I've found out today that jgeboski's repository is gone; I think it's been recently removed, because it's the first time that I notice an error in the apt update.

You can see it here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jgeboski.

The plugin still can be built from source, but the wiki should be updated. There's also a potential problem of the plugin configurations conflicting: I've removed the old plugin package via apt remove, however, after installing from the tarball, I now get this, which I think is caused by the old package configuration (or files) leftovers. Opened an issue, as this is actually a real problem with the plugin.

Is there any other way to install it when you are not dev nor sysadmin, and don't want to compile yourself source code?

I also am wondering about this, could someone make a .deb packet of purple-facebook? Or could jgeboski fix the problem?

You can use «checkinstall» to create a deb, rpm and slackware package of just about anything, as long as it has the make install routine.
In this project that is as easy as running «autoreconf -i», then run «checkinstall», and then it will generate a deb package if you are on a debian system.

Amazing, it works, and it's super easy. Thanks! 🙏
