[SOLVED] AUR error fatal: Not a git repository

geommer · 2016-04-08 23:22:55

Hello Arch community, I maintain the package yabar (I am the author too!) on AUR (Actually it was maintained thanks to @jsteel but he transfered it to me to make it more up-to-date with development). Now, I updated the version from 0.3.0 to 0.4.0 but I got that weird error `fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /tmp)`.

Here is my PKGBUILD!
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ … LD?h=yabar

And that is what shows up during build

The weird thing is that I updated the PKGBUILD from 0.2.3 to 0.3.0 and it was all fine, now I can't understand why this happens now!

Build it with makepkg not an AUR helper that isn't very helpful.

Not a Pacman issue, moving to AUR Issues...

The issue is in the build system, not in the AUR. Look at the Makefile, first line calls git describe. That doesn't work on a release tarball.

Thank you, you solved my issue. I used sed to replace the git command with the $pkgver variable.

That's not really a fix. Anyone on any distro that uses your tarball will run into this.
