cweks, friendly advice - no matter what goes wrong, it is never OK to shout like that.
]]>cd to the newly created directory and carefully check the PKGBUILD and any .install file for malicious commands. --> there is no PKGBUILD subdirectory
$ cd
$ nano PKGBUILD --> there is no PKGBUILD subdirectory
$ nano foo.install --> not sure what to look for -- file cherokee-1.2.101.install ??? there is no file cherokee-1.2.101.install
cd alone doesn't take you into the newly created directory, which isn't called PKGBUILD. Do an ls, you should see it, named the same as the package tarball.
]]>this is for cherokee-1.2.101
I am following instructions from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR
1. Acquire build files
OK -- downloaded cherokee-1.2.101.tar.gz from http://www.cherokee-project.com/downloa … 101.tar.gz -- as per the link from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cherokee/
2. Extract the tarball. Change directories to the build directory if not already there and extract the build files.
$ cd /builds
$ tar -xvzf cherokee-1.2.101.tar.gz
This should create a new directory called "cherokee-1.2.101" in the /builds directory. -- OK, it did
3. Warning: Carefully check all files. cd to the newly created directory and carefully check the PKGBUILD and any .install file for malicious commands. --> there is no PKGBUILD subdirectory
$ cd
$ nano PKGBUILD --> there is no PKGBUILD subdirectory
$ nano foo.install --> not sure what to look for -- file cherokee-1.2.101.install ??? there is no file cherokee-1.2.101.install
4. Make the package. After manually confirming the integrity of the files, run makepkg as a normal user in the build directory.
$ makepkg -s
==> ERROR: PKGBUILD does not exist.
ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO BUILD PACKAGES ON https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR CORRECT ?
