yaourt not installing wicked-git and awesome-git anymore

Hi,

I tried to install awesome-git und wicked-git using yaourt:
I get:

loading package data...
error: './wicked-git-20090112-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz': cannot open package file
==> WARNING: Your package is saved in /tmp/yaourt-tmp-root/wicked-git-20090112-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
cp: cannot stat `./wicked-git-20090112-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz': No such file or directory
==> WARNING: Unable to copy wicked-git-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz to /tmp/yaourt-tmp-root/ directory

(this is from wicked-git, but I get the same for wicked-git.

What is wrong?
Thanks!

Nathan

This is a yaourt issue, not a PKGBUILD/ABS issue. Moved to Community Contributions.

Hi,

I tested it with some other git packages, always the same.
Is this a bug?
Or maybe something wrong with my config?
Can anyone confirm?

Re: yaourt not installing wicked-git and awesome-git anymore

i can confirm that it's a problem with yaourt and git

a few minitues ago, i installed a non git package through yaourt and it worked fine.
However a minute later i tried a git one and get exactly the same error

Re: yaourt not installing wicked-git and awesome-git anymore

When you get a git/svn/cvs PKGBUILD the version is set to the date of the upload, but in the package creation process the latest snapshot is downloaded and version is changed on-the-fly accordingly (I have yet to see one that checks out a specific snapshot). I guess you need to take that into account when running yaourt, either to checkout a specific snapshot or to recognise the pkgver change.

You need to install an RTFM interface.

Re: yaourt not installing wicked-git and awesome-git anymore

for others with the same error

just change the version in the pkgbuild to the one you're downloading

e.g.

packver=12062008

to

packver=01262009
