[solved] (yaourt) zoneminder-svn problem

Hello,

I'm trying to build zoneminder-svn through yaourt and I am failing to build ffmpeg-svn (dep).
The error I get after issuing "yaourt -S zoneminder-svn" is as follows:

loading package data...
error: './ffmpeg-svn-18717-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz': cannot open package file
=> WARNING: Your package is saved in /tmp/yaourt-tmp-root/ffmpeg-svn-18717-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
cp: cannot stat `../ffmpeg-svn-18717-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz': No such file or directory
=> WARNING: Unable to copy ffmpeg-svn-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz to /tmp/yaourt-tmp-root / directory
...

I know I shouldn't be building this as root but it was just to check it wasnt anything permission problem based

Misc. details about my target system:

uname -a
Linux CHIAKI 2.6.30-ARCH #1 PREMPT Sat Jul 4 11:13:08 UTC 2009 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.66GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Thanks in advance!

Mike

However it works for me, Have you tried it without from svn, just with zoneminder package from AUR? Can that work ? I don't like version controlled package, if a non version controlled is available.

Yeah, even if it installed, you'd be 705 revisions behind what's available from the time that I wrote this:

ffmpeg-svn > pacman -Q ffmpeg-svn
ffmpeg-svn 19422-1

Re: [solved] (yaourt) zoneminder-svn problem

Hey thanks for all the advice.

I tried changing the date in the PKGBUILD file thus:

FROM:

pkgver=18717

TO:

pkgver=090713

as was suggested in this thread http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 20#p583520 you guys linked me to.

However I have a feeling I'm either changing the wrong field or using an incorrect date format?

EDIT:

I got sidetracked by the advice to change a date and I tried instead to replace the actual version and it worked.

Thank you everyone!
