qwtpolar

There is a problem in compiling qwtpolar in AUR and I'm not sure if the problem is in the fact that svn from sourceforge is not available and the source code cannot be downloaded or PKGBUILD is not correct.
So, first problem:

myuser@mymachine:~/Downloads/qwtpolar$ makepkg -si
==> Making package: qwtpolar 1.1-1 (Ned Srp 19 11:53:26 CEST 2015)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> Retrieving sources...
  -> Cloning qwtpolar svn repo...
svn: E000111: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'https://svn.code.sf.net/p/qwtpolar/code/branches/qwtpolar-1.1'
svn: E000111: Error running context: Connection refused
==> ERROR: Failure while downloading qwtpolar svn repo
    Aborting...

From this I first thought that the problem is unavailability of the SVN repo from SF but I try once again with same command:

myuser@mymachine:~/Downloads/qwtpolar$ makepkg -si
==> Making package: qwtpolar 1.1-1 (Ned Srp 19 11:59:58 CEST 2015)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> Retrieving sources...
  -> Updating qwtpolar svn repo...
Skipped '.'
Summary of conflicts:
  Skipped paths: 1
==> Validating source files with md5sums...
    qwtpolar ... Skipped
==> Extracting sources...
  -> Creating working copy of qwtpolar-1.1 svn repo...
==> Starting pkgver()...
==> ERROR: pkgver is not allowed to contain colons, hyphens or whitespace.
==> ERROR: pkgver() generated an invalid version: 1.1.r

Although I can see that the path is skipped now, the error is different and it seems like the building procedure went step forward but I still don't have a clue what to do
If the problem is in SVN at SF how is it possible then to compile it if source is not available? Any other way to obtain source code and edit PKGBUILD to install it from another source?

I need to mention that I installed Arch just recently for the first time and I'm still grasping my breath so maybe I'm missing something obvious.

Any clues what to try next?

Re: qwtpolar

In cases like this, lease do check around e.g. if upstream is online: http://sourceforge.net/blog/sourceforge … storation/

Re: qwtpolar

Yeah, I thought that was the case but I just wanted to be sure as I was never using AUR and PKGBUILD before.
So judging from the SF blog it is not good for qwtpolar atm.
I presume I need to wait now for servers and repos to come back online and then everything will be fine?

Re: qwtpolar

sourceforge has a release snapshot for qwtpolar 1.1.1 that is available. Some bugfixes from the svn branch may be missing.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/qwtpola … lar/1.1.1/
I suggest you modify the PKGBUILD to use this archive as a source instead if you don't want to wait.

Re: qwtpolar

See the comments and check where the PKGBUILD gets the code:
https://aur4.archlinux.org/packages/qwtpolar/
