DetailsThe current minicom package 2.1-2 is very strange. It's searching for its config files in '/usr/etc' which is not used for any file in archlinux, and even does not exists, and therefore it is very annoying because minicom can't save its configuration without creating '/usr/etc' by
hand. But if I recompile it with its current and unmodified PKGBUILD it's searching for its files in the usual (and I think the right) location '/etc'. So it seems minicom must be simply recompiled and re-distributed with an incremented version. You can simply verify it with 'minicom -h'. The current package's help contains a line 'configurations is compiled to /usr/etc.' The recompiled package will contains /etc. |
