[Not a request]

I'm unable to update my weather-plasmoid package. I only get an error message. For other packages it works fine.

Perhaps it would help if you wrote the error message you're getting when updating your package.

Also, I took a look at the PKGBUILD for weather-plasmoid. The pkgdesc field should only contain a short description of the package (i.e. "Weather Plasmoid for KDE4"). The warning message is best placed in a .install file like this (see /var/abs/community/install.proto for a prototype):

# arg 1:  the new package version
post_install() {
  cat << EOF
  ==> ATTENTION INTERNATIONAL USERS:
  ==> 
  ==> If you want to make this widget work and don't have a zip code,
  ==> use the following steps:
  ==> 
  ==> 1. Go to http://weather.yahoo.com/
  ==> 2. Type in your city, country and click Go
  ==> 3. Copy the 8 character location ID from the URL on the next page
  ==>    (ie for Hong Kong, China it is CHXX0049)
  ==> 4. Paste the location ID into the widgets zip code field
EOF
}

# arg 1:  the new package version
# arg 2:  the old package version
post_upgrade() {
  post_install
}

op=$1
shift
[ "$(type -t "$op")" = "function" ] && $op "$@"

# vim:set ts=2 sw=2 et:

The message is simply: "Error - No file uploaded"

It seems the connection to the server fails... but only for this package. Could anyone DELETE it from server so I can upload it new?

Thanks
