Gears
From ArchWiki
Contents |
Firefox Plugin
Install the official build
Note: This does not work with x86_64!
To install Gears in a default Arch installation you'll need to change a setting in the browser.
By default the browser identifies itself as "Gran Paradiso/3.0.8", but in order to download Gears the user-agent string must say Firefox.
To change this update the following value within about:config
general.useragent.extra.firefox
Update the value from "Gran Paradiso/3.0.10" to "Firefox/3.0.10".
You should now be able to install Gears (from its homepage as Firefox-AddOn), and hopefully avoid similar issues on other sites.
Install from AUR
There's a PKGBUILD for the svn version in the AUR: google-gears-svn
Install from the archlinuxfr repository
In case you use the archlinuxfr repository anyway, this is probably the best solution. Just run
yaourt -S google-gears-svn
