[SOLVED] Maintaining SVN Package

subraizada3 · 2014-03-30 16:20:21

I recently took ownership of the redeclipse-svn package (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/redeclipse-svn).
There are two issues with the package, the first is that the SVN URL is out of date, but that is an easy fix.

The second issue is that the PKGBUILD contains the line

pkgver=6316

When the package is installed, SVN revision 6316 is downloaded instead of the current 6382. I can update pkgver to 6382, but soon it will be out-of-date again.
Is there any way to make the PKGBUILD download the latest version of redeclipse-svn, or do I have to keep updating pkgver every once in a while?

Write a pkgver function to update the pkgver for you.

It seems there already is one:

pkgver() {
	pwd
	cd "$SRCDEST/$_svnmod"
	svnversion | tr -d [A-z]
}

No idea what the pwd tries to achieve. Delete all cases of it. Also, it should "cd $srcdir/$_svnmod".

It was my fault for not seeing that, will test with the suggested fix and update with a new PKGBUILD.
