comix-3.3 package

since the comix version via pacman is out of date and i can't install it anyway because the 'rar' package is not in the repos (due to licensing issues) i wanted to build it myself but it doesn't work...Here's my PKGBUILD:

pkgname=comix
pkgver=3.3
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="a GTK comicbook reader"
url="http://comix.sourceforge.net/"
license="GPL"
depends=('python' 'unrar' 'pil' 'pygtk')
source=(http://dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/comix/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('3155990353f3b4e6cf93e6e1d4b6d298')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  python ./install.py install
}

i get a 'tar cannot stat' error when i try makepkg and altho it builds the package it is much smaller than the source tarball which doesn't sound right :?. Any ideas what's wrong with my build script? Do i have to do something special for apps that don't use the standard make/make install commands?

thanks!

Why not just modify the existing PKGBUILD?

ahh thanks for that. That was my original plan but i didn't know where to get it.

No problem. When you go to the package page, just click on the CVS link.
