Please consider dropping extra/xbase. The packing is
orphaned for some time, is outdated for many many years
(2.1.0 was released 2003, the package is still 2.0.0),
nothing depends on it and upstream seems to be dead too.
If someone really needs it it would probably be better to maintain it in AUR (it's probably what I'll do once it is dropped). |
This task depends upon

Last version could be found on sourceforge, or am I wrong ?

No, you are not wrong. Latest version is on sourceforge, and it's
the version I am using. However, the package is orphaned (the
arch's one), so there is no one to do the update. Plus even their
upstream doesn't build without patching. Here are the patches in
case anyone is interested
