[Solved] Problem With Aurbuild

I just reinstalled chakra and I cant install anything via aurbuild. Everything builds fine but at the very end it says it cant find the package.

==> Creating package...
  -> Generating .PKGINFO file...
  -> Adding install script...
  -> Compressing package...
==> Leaving fakeroot environment.
==> Finished making: bauerbill 2010.03.14.1-1 any (Mon Apr 26 03:39:26 EDT 2010)
Error: could not find the built package in /var/tmp/aurbuild/build/bauerbill/bauerbill/bauerbill-2010.03.14.1-1-any.pkg.tar.gz
In some cases this might mean the PKGDEST location does not have write and execute permissions
for the aurbuild user or group.

[bran@ra ~]$ ls -l /var/tmp/aurbuild
total 4
drwxrwxrwx 3 aurbuild users 4096 Apr 26 03:42 build

Re: [Solved] Problem With Aurbuild

I'm having the exact same issue, on 2 different machines. A third machine is fine and I can't figure out why the other 2 have a broken (apparently) aurbuild.

Re: [Solved] Problem With Aurbuild

It's because aurbuild is expecting the package to to use the .tar.gz extension whereas with the last makepkg upgrade it's likely a .tar.xz file.

EDIT: A workaround is to manually install the built package yourself with pacman.

Re: [Solved] Problem With Aurbuild

This should go in a bug report to the aurbuild developer.

BTW, interesting that the error in the first post occurred when the user was trying to build bauerbill...

I know right?

yep that was it, thanks! I haven't been using linux a lot lately (because Ive had a lot of stuff to do for college thats easier to do in windows) and I was confused when about a week or two ago when I saw the extension of .tar.xz and was like wtf is that?

So I'm guessing LZMA is replacing GZIP all over linux?

my answer was right in the aur page for aurbuild!

    It would be indeed great to get support for the .xz packages. Due to this format change my aurbuild stopped working and I had to set the PKGEXT to .pkg.tar.gz in /etc/makepkg.conf. Since I don`t think that I am the only user affected by this, a fix would be greatly appreciated.

That works. Thanks!

Re: [Solved] Problem With Aurbuild

aurbuild 1.8.9 solves this issue.
