[Solved] linux-zen and pkgver

Running

cower -ud

it says I need to update my linux-zen kernel from

pkgver=0e5ee3e-1 to pkgver=5a602db-1.

When I download the PKGBUILD, it has the new pkgver defined in it, but then

makepkg

reverts the pkgver variable within the PKGBUILD to 0e5ee3e-1 and the in the prepare stage of the make process it says that I am already up to date.   Of course, after compiling and installing the package, cower still says it needs to be updated because the kernel string is showing that I still have the 0e5ee3e-1 kernel installed.  My questions:

Is there actually an update?  If so, how do I get the package to update?  If there is no update, how can I get cower (and yaourt) to stop saying there is an update?

Re: [Solved] linux-zen and pkgver

I'll check the PKGBUILD in a moment, but have you tried using the precompiled linux-zen 3.12.8+2728+g0e5ee3e-1 from heftig unofficial repo https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … ies#heftig ?

No, I haven't been using any precompiled kernels.  I have a set .config which I use to compile the kernel each time.

The PKGBUILD seems to be wrong based on:

$ git ls-remote git://github.com/damentz/zen-kernel.git HEAD
0e5ee3e37ee808ab7b4210eaa3826804f6a949aa        HEAD

Ask the AUR maintainer to fix the package.

Re: [Solved] linux-zen and pkgver

The pkger function is not good enough. Maybe do something like this:

pkgver() {
	cd "${srcdir}/$_gitname"
	eval $(grep -o "^\(VERSION\|PATCHLEVEL\|SUBLEVEL\) = [0-9a-zA-Z_-]\+" Makefile | tr -d \ )
	printf "%s.%s.%s+%s+g%s" $VERSION $PATCHLEVEL $SUBLEVEL "$(git rev-list --count HEAD)" "$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)"
}

Re: [Solved] linux-zen and pkgver

It looks like 3.13/master is now the base branch: https://github.com/damentz/zen-kernel/branches

Added to the build, I never noticed that - thank you!
