Problem with makepkg

Hi,

I'm trying to update the 'subversion' package, since it is only at 1.4 right now. I did a cp of the /var/abs/extra/subversion to my home directory for testing. I modified the PKGBUILD file the following ways:

1) Changed the pkgver to 1.5.1
2) Changed the URL to the subversion 1.5.1 package
3) Updated the MD5 hash of the new version
4) Changed pkgrel from 4 to 5.

I now run "makepkg" in the root of my temp copy of the subversion package and I get the following:

==> Making package: subversion 1.5.1-5  (Sat Aug  2 20:24:17 PDT 2008)
==> Checking Runtime Dependencies...
==> Missing Dependencies:
  -> neon>=0.28.2-2
  -> apr-util>=1.3.2-2
==> Checking Buildtime Dependencies...
==> Missing Dependencies:
  -> apache>=2.2.9-3
  -> swig>=1.3.31
  -> jdk
  -> jre
  -> autoconf
==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies.

I'm extremely new to Archlinux (and linux in general), so I'm not really certain what this means. I did read the Wiki but I'm still unclear. Help is appreciated.

Re: Problem with makepkg

You have to install apache, swig, jdk, jre and autoconf in order to be able to build the subversion package.  Subversion depends on those packages.

Edit: add neon and apr-util to the list.

Oh, okay. I figured makepkg would install those dependencies for me.

It will if you tell it to.
man makepkg:

 -s, --syncdeps
           Install missing dependencies using pacman. When build-time or
           run-time dependencies are not found, pacman will try to resolve
           them. If successful, the missing packages will be downloaded and
           installed.

cheers,
