PKGBUILD - does this look right

My PKGBUILD simply needs to copy files from a zip file to /usr/share/java/Jalbum/skins/BananAlbum.  Here is what I have so far and it seems to work just fine.  Is there a more elegant way to do it?
pkgname=bananalbum
pkgver=6.1.4
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Very elegant and sexy flash based JAlbum skin."
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://www.bananalbum.com"
license=("freeware")
depends=('jalbum')
source=("BananAlbum_v6.1.4.zip::http://jalbum.net/web/GetSkinFile?versionId=1253&type=zip")
#source=(http://jalbum.net/web/GetSkinFile?versionId=1253&type=zip)
md5sums=('dd4d860769db0da6f16aa5b13fd41772')
build() {
install -dm755 $pkgdir/usr/share/java/Jalbum/skins/BananAlbum
cp -r $srcdir/BananAlbum_v$pkgver/* $pkgdir/usr/share/java/Jalbum/skins/BananAlbum

@Devoid - Actually, I was wrong about the 644... if I look at the other skin directories they are all 755 so what I have works just fine.  Is there a strong reason not to use the cp command?

    look at the connection piece for the power charger. The two end parts (and other places) are black. Does this mean I need to go to the Apple store to get this replaced somehow?
    in the past, I have experienced burning myself when I touched the charger...
    it currently smells really weird. it has a smell of metal (but stronger) along with the smell of something rotting.
    the computer has trouble charging. The charger itself works on my mom's Macbook2008, but not on mine. It works only about 33% of the time, and it is becoming annoying. Even when it is charging, one touch to the charger and I need to spend at least 5 min trying to get it charging again.
    This is a early2011 MBP. Are there similar problems out there on other MBP's of the same type?

    I would take that computer to an Apple Store or reseller to get it diagnosed just because of security, and it's dangerous to have the MagSafe in that status, more when you have problems charging the MacBook

    I have seen safari go up to as much as 300+ MBs and iTunes hit around 200+ MBs.
    That is completely normal, don't worry about it. As you can see mine is quite lower, but it will eventually rise after extended use.

    Internet is normally rock solid @ 75 / 17
    Tonight it feels sluggish...

    Looks fine to me, how long has your modem an router been connected for? Sometime's a build up of errors on both can cause slower download speeds.
    Just a simple re-boot on both or either or should fix the problem.
    Is it slow wirelessly or wired?

  • Does this look sort of right?

    How do I create an object called myBook that would call the constructor that requires 3 arguments?
    Does this look sort of right in terms of making a conscructor?
    //Constructor
    setTitle(newTitleFloat);
    setUnit(newUnitFloat);
    setQuantity(new(QuantityFloat);
    calculateInterest();

    It's hard to know what you need w/out more information. But as a for instance, If I had a class with the following fields:
    class MyBook
        private String title = "";
        private double unit = 0.0;
        private int quantity = 0;
        private double interest = 0.0;
    }Then a possible constructor could be:
        public MyBook(String title, double unit, int quantity)
            this.title = title;
            this.unit = unit;
            this.quantity = quantity;
            calculateInterest();
        }Assuming of course that the class also has a method called calculateInterest().     
    It could be called like so:
        public static void main(String[] args)
            MyBook myBook = new MyBook("Tale of Two Skivies", 3.55, 5);
        }ps: please learn to use code tags. It makes your code much more readable.

  • Date time picker script does not look right when calender pops up

  • Help me...does this look good?!?!?

    Hey all,
    I want a G4 to use in my music studio, have found one on ebay, does this look good to you...
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8792713494&rd=1&sspagename= STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1
    If you can't access that, basically it's this...
    Computer is in excellent condition, has been well loved and well upgraded:- 200GB hard disk (5400rpm) Dual 867 MHz, 1MB L3 cache per processor 1.25GB DDR SDRAM 16x DVD+/- RW (Superdrive) 4x DVD+ RW (original Superdrive) 4x USB 2.0 ports 2x USB 1.0 ports 2x Firewire ports Airport Card (WiFi) Ethernet Card 56kbps Modem Digital in/out for audio Again it is in excellent condition, well loved.
    Oh and there is still 2 slots left for memory upgrade and 4 other slots for your other upgrades, i.e. more firewire, usb, graphics card, music adaptors etc. I used the machine mostly for video editing and graphic design and it handles everything I throw at it. It is a beast of a computer but sadly by job entails I have a laptop now I will also include all the software that comes with it.
    Think it sounds good? What price do you reckon???
    Thank you!
    Olivia x
    G4 I hope    

    If you do decide to bid I'd keep in mind that it's the base model MDD G4 with a 133MHz system bus (the others had 167MHz). It's also one of the original models that got the nickname of wind tunnel as they could be fairly noisy, so much so that Apple under went a power supply replacement program using quieter fans, which may be an issue if it's intended for audio use. I'm not sure whether it's had the power supply replaced, but Verax also offered a noise reduction kit, which may give some indication of how noisy it can be.
    I'm not trying to put you off though, but I'd keep the above in mind if you do intend to place a bid.

    I have added photos from iPhoto into Photo Stream and enabled my iCloud but I can't see any uploaded photos. Does this sound right?

    Enable PhotoStream in iCloud first, then add the photos to PhotoStream in iCloud. Of course, you will need PhotoStream also enabled on your other devices also in order to view them.

    I go back to the store where purchased, I'm told card was activated, and to just wait 24 hours because Apple's networks are probably busy.
    Does this sound right??

    A brief and probably non-helpful answer: I know of no way to eliminate your large amount of duplicates other than by repetitive, tedious manual effort.
    *There has got to be a simpler way.*
    I hope you're right, but I don't think there is a simpler way.
    BACKUP:  It also appears that the only way I can back up the catalog is to shut down LR.  Really?!
    Yes, really

  • Trained for ADSL2+, does this look about right

    I got migrated from ADSLmax over to ADSL2+ about 10 days ago, and since then the line has been training. Please could someone look at the stats below and tell me if this looks about right?
    I changed from a HH1.5 to HH2.0. I was hoping to get about 19MBit/s, based on the fairly low attenuation, but it appears to have settled on 14.5MBit/s. I have left the router switched on without interruption for about 1 week now. It drops and reconnects about once per day, which I assume is normal during training. The noise margin seems to have settled on about 6dB, which I believe is fairly normal as well.
    Any thoughts?
    I suspect that this is probably as good as it gets for me, but would appreciate someone knowledgeable checking for me, thanks

    I would expect the noise margin to fall to 6db or maybe less on a good line and increase conenction speed to about 19mb again assuming good line with no noise problems - just leave it conencted and it should reduce given a bit more time

  • Exported Video Does Not Look Right

    I am sure this is a basic setting I am overlooking, but a lot of this is new to me - any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
    My goal is to create a high quality 640x480 movie for Computer/Web viewing only.
    • I shot a short video using a Canon Vixia HV30 to mini DV tape using the SD standard - no problem. I guess that records at 720x480 non-square pixels at 29.97fps - is that right?
    • I used log and capture inside of FCP v6.0.5 to capture the various clips I needed - no problem (I don't think). If I open each of those clips from the finder in Quicktime they look "pretty" good, but a bit of aliasing on the diagonals and somewhat blurry, but not sure why? Everything looks sharp on the smaller camera LCD screen? and looks pretty good inside of FCP on the Canvas? If I open one of these captures directly inside of Quicktime and do a get info, it says...
    DV 720x480 (640x480)
    FPS: 29.95
    Normal Size: 640x480 pixels
    Current Size: 640x480 pixels (Actual)
    All these Quicktime movies appear slightly larger in height and width than the same clips when viewed in the FCP Canvas?
    If I open the Sequence Settings in FCP it says...
    Frame Size 720 x 480 NTSC DV (3:2)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio NTSC - CCIR 601 /DV (720x480)
    Field Dominance: None
    Editing Timebase: 29.97
    Everything looked pretty good inside FCP so I Exported a QT Movie using "Current Settings". Then opened the resulting self-contained movie in QT and it looks pretty bad. When I get info in QT on the rendered final movie it reads...
    DV 720x480 (640x480)
    FPS: 29.97
    Normal Size: 720x480 pixels
    Current Size: 640x480 pixels (Actual)
    So... the FPS and the Normal Size are not the same as the captured original clips.
    Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
    Is this just the wrong Sequence Settings, Export Settings or do I have to start over an re-capture all my footage some other way?
    PS - I am assuming that the DV Camcorder is recording interlaced (60 fields) rather than progressive - is that right. Do I need to de-interlace the video somehow?

    I'm far from being an expert, but since no one has replied to you yet, and because I've been helped out here plenty of times, I'll post something and who knows -- it may be the answer.
    Your post was really long but from what I can gather, you're wondering why your exported video does not look good when you open it in QuickTime. Try this: Open the video in QT, hit command-J, then click on Video Track, then at the bottom right (under Visual Settings) you'll see High Quality, Single Field, and Deinterlace. Click around on those to see if that improves what you see.

  • Does this sound right to every one?

    Ok I ordered my Ipod touch 16Gig the day after Christmas and this is what the shipping log looks like at Fedex.com Does the shipping places look right or am I worring about nothing?
    And if I am in the wrong section of the forums I am sorry I am new here
    Message was edited by: MDavies

    Yes, your iPod is shipping from the factory in China. When I ordered my Touch the day it was announced, I spend a lot of time looking at FedEx tracking. This looks exactly right.

  • I have today purchased iMovie but does not look right

    I have today purchased iMovie for £2.99 (through iTunes I recall) but when I start the app it does not look much like the on line tutorial details. Just has Video/Projects/Theater and create a new project. Any advice please? Have I actually purchased the app or some simple equivalent?

    Thanks for your time. I have another response which has clarified my situation. I have the right app for an iPad, which is not so comprehensive as the version for a MAC. I have also found some learning material for the iPad version, which matches what I have, so all is resolved. Thanks!

  • New PC - does this look suitable?

    I'm looking to replace an old PC with a custom build:
    - i7-3770 3.4GHz
    - H77 chipset
    - 16GB DDR-1600 RAM
    - 3TB HDD
    - 256GB SSD
    - DVD Writer
    - On board graphics only
    - RaidMax Super Hurricane case
    - 500W PSU
    - Win8 or 7 64 bit
    - Card Reader
    I will continue to use a 30" (2560*1600) monitor.
    Does this spec look suitable for Lightroom / PSE and some basic video editing in Premiere Elements with plenty of headroom (I assume LR5 will gobble even more resources than LR4!!)?

    I would look seriously at a Xeon Quad processor instead of the i7 even if the Xeon had only 2.8 Ghz or 3 Ghz.
    Processor speed is not everything; you also need to look at workload, i.e. throughput.
    Don't be taken in for a "gamer's PC" - a gamer needs speed above all but the games have a relatively "thin" data stream.
    16 GB of RAM seems almost overkill; I have 12 GB and run Lr and Photoshop (+ a bunch of other programs) at the same time with no problems.
    I would replace the 3 TB drive with 3 drives @ 500 GB each. Keep in mind that with Lr that constantly reads and writes to and from the HD, the read-and write cycles build up. If you have only one internal HD it has to do all the read-and-write cycles and that can slow down your system, i.e. your RAM and processor have to wait for the drive to spin and do its reading and writing.
    But if you have 3 internal drives you are able to distribute the read-and-write cycles on 3 drives simultaneously.
    I'm not sure about your onboard graphics. When I looked into the specs of my new computer (now about 9 months old) I found that onboard graphics alone would not be optimal.
    Again, i think it's good enough for browsing the web and gaming. But photo editing, particularly if you have a camera with a full-frame sensor, i.e. large Raw-files, it's a different matter.
    I would not go with onboard graphics alone - my personal opinion. But then again, you can try it out, and - if there's a slot for it - get a graphics card later.

  • Does This Seem Right?

    I'm really dissapointed in my MBP's battery life. I had the PB G4 but due to those lines I returned it. The only problem is that my PB spoiled me for battery life.. I was able to get up to 5 hours.
    I'm barely getting 3 on this thing and I have full calibrated it. I have absoluely nothing running except safari, screen is way below middle level lighting etc.
    This is my info.....does it seem ok or should I be calling Apple? I've only had it for about 2 days but this is disapointing.
    Battery Installed: Yes
    First low level warning: No
    Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 5413
    Remaining Capacity (mAh): 1921
    Amperage (mA): -2170
    Voltage (mV): 11032
    Cycle Count: 3

    Yes, it is interesting. I tested it again tonight and I still get just a bit more than 5 hours on a full battery. Maybe I am doing something different? When I conditioned the battery I charged it up fully and left it charging for 24 hours. Then, I simply unplugged the charger and ran it off the battery until it went to sleep. Then, I "rested" the battery/computer for 8 hours and charged it again for 24. That is when I ran my test. I got a bit over 5 hours - I think it was 5 hrs and 18 minutes. Tonight, from a full charge, I ran it down again and got just a bit more than 5 hrs. - something like 5hr10min.
    Also, I am really not doing much wit the computer while I ran these two tests - I only updated my iPOD (downloaded the Daily Show) and am surfing the web right now. That is it. Most of the stuff I do never gets the drives moving much, so it is all display drivers and not much else except for the tiny trickle charge used to top off my 60 GIG iPOD. Also, maybe the battery will degrade and get worse....rapidly, but I doubt it. I've owned almost nothing but laptops for the past 15 years and this is the best I have seen for battery life.
    I like my MBP better evey time I use it...and *detest* those awful cheapo "chicklet" function keys. How can Apple make such a GREAT computer - and I think this is THE BEST notebook ever made - and put those crappy cheap, non-aligned function keys on it? I hope someone from Apple reads these forums and listens. The MBP will down as one of the finest computers of all time if they fix a few minor flaws. And I've decided to do some software development on it and I don't waste my time anything that doesn't look like it's going to be worthwhile.
