Problem about building a Package

peque · 2006-10-02 21:47:58

well after having a lot of problems about resolving my problems about getting my wireless IPW3945 to work I have used and old script a friend of mine and me made 2 years ago - its only a script ??? But the AUR is complaining about the url - wich there is nithing to write ??? So is it possible not to do that or how should I do it???

PKGBUILD:
# Contributor: Peque & MasiX (udbytossen@gmail.com)
pkgname=wns
pkgver=0.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Wifi networkscanner and profile handler"
depends=('wireless_tools')
license="GPL"
url=
install="wns.install"
source=('wnsd' 'wns')
md5sums=('1fe307e674c994c67f056676025797b6' '0d59b7d5aebaaf3ec6c951cd2682a503')

build () {
mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/etc/rc.d/
mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/sbin/
cp $startdir/src/wnsd $startdir/pkg/etc/rc.d/
cp $startdir/src/wns $startdir/pkg/usr/sbin/
chown root $startdir/pkg/etc/rc.d/wnsd
chmod 755 $startdir/pkg/etc/rc.d/wnsd
chown root $startdir/pkg/usr/sbin/wns
chmod 755 $startdir/pkg/usr/sbin/wns
}

There' s only those 2 files + install Howto description. So how do I do that???
Its a script writed by hand and no webpages to get the source kodes from?

not sure if this is 'proper' but you could make the source url the location of this aur package. http://aur.archlinux.org/packges/wns/wns.tar.gz
Make sure you have the appropriate cd line in build. You can always delete or modify the package if it doesn't work or TU's complain.

penguin's suggestion seems sound - you could also put http://aur.archlinux.org on its own I'd think.

However, make sure you also mention in the comments when you upload the package that there is no website for it.

oh! :!:

I thought you meant AUR wasn't accepting the source url.
There's a short hand way to go directly to the package's aur home page:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=wns

But I see you've got it sorted anyway

An empty url will probably work if you use quotes:
url=""

OK - well - after a talk with julemand101 have we desidet to make a homepage for it at Archlinux.dk(danish site) where some explanation about the oppotunities will be descriped.
Welkl - there is no source url - caurse its justt a script (2 files and a little howto) and thats it. But when trying to upload it complained about missing url - I have now set it for the dansih archlinux site about the program - Hopefully thats OK

So thanks anyway - But quit funny to build my own package for the first time
