[solved] makechrootpkg: missing files of source-array

Hi,
I've tried to build a package for murmur today using makechrootpkg.
I can't build a valid package because there are all files missing which are given in the source-array although they exist in the PKGBUILD directory.
The makepkg started by makechrootpkg validates the files correctly:

==> Retrieving Sources...
    -> Using cached copy of mumble-1.2.1.tar.gz
    -> Using cached copy of murmur.rc.d
    -> Using cached copy of murmur.conf.d
    -> Using cached copy of murmur.dbus.conf
    -> Using cached copy of murmur.logrotate.d
==> Validating source files with md4sums...
        mumble-1.2.1.tar.gz ... Passed
        murmur.rc.d ... Passed
        murmur.conf.d ... Passed
        murmur.dbus.conf ... Passed
        murmur.logrotate.d ... Passed

But after correctly compiling the sources these files can't be installed:

install: cannot stat `/build/murmur.rc.d': No such file or directory
install: cannot stat `/build/murmur.conf.d': No such file or directory
install: cannot stat `/build/murmur.dbus.conf': No such file or directory
install: cannot stat `/build/murmur.logrotate.d': No such file or directory

Within this directory the files are missing although they are listed in the source-array.
Is it a bug of makechrootpkg or why are could these files be missing?

Regards
Andrwe

Re: [solved] makechrootpkg: missing files of source-array

is a bug in  murmur's PKGBUILD since the source-array is copied in /build/src. for example

install -Dm755 ${startdir}/murmur.rc.d ${pkgdir}/etc/rc.d/murmur
install -Dm644 ${startdir}/murmur.conf.d ${pkgdir}/etc/conf.d/murmur

should be

install -Dm755 ${srcdir}/murmur.rc.d ${pkgdir}/etc/rc.d/murmur
install -Dm644 ${srcdir}/murmur.conf.d ${pkgdir}/etc/conf.d/murmur

etc

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Exactly.  Never use $startdir as there are no guarantees about its location relative to $srcdir or $pkgdir or even what files it contains...
