First AUR package

Hi,

I used the prototype from the wiki page concerning Arch packaging standards and made a PKGBUILD
for the "Speech Signal Processing Toolkit" (SPTK), because I did not find an existing package for it
in either the normal repositories or the AUR.

After running namcap on both the PKGBUILD and the tarball made by makepkg --source I believe the
package to be ready for uploading to the AUR, but since this is the first time I created one, I wanted
to be sure about that, before I end up uploading something that isn't and people can't use it.

That is why I post the PKGBUILD here and link the tarball , to get confirmation about it
being ready for uploading.

Thankful in advance,
    -- Moritz

PS: I removed the "src" substring from the filename generated by makepkg --source, because I have
never seen it before in other AUR package tarballs

PPS: I have only tried it on i686 since I have no 64 bit Archlinux installs, it would be very nice if someone
with such a system could try to build it and tell me whether it works.

This is the PKGBUILD:

# Maintainer: Moritz Maxeiner <moritzmaxeiner@googlemail.com>
pkgname=sptk
pkgver=3.4.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A suite of speech signal processing tools."
arch=('i686' 'x68_64')
url="http://sourceforge.net/projects/sp-tk/files/"
license=('BSD')
depends=('libx11')
conflicts=('boost')
source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sp-tk/${pkgname^^}-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('42615c62edcc0e1df5a83535d0b074f2')

build() {
  cd "$srcdir/${pkgname^^}-$pkgver"
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make
}

package() {
  cd "$srcdir/${pkgname^^}-$pkgver"
  make prefix="$pkgdir"/usr install
  install -D -m644 COPYING "${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}/COPYING"
}

EDIT: Changed $(echo $pkgname | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]') to ${pkgname^^}. Thanks to lolilolicon
EDIT2: Added conflict with boost, thanks to Stefan Husmann
EDIT3: Circumvented the "make DESTDIR=xxx install" problem by using "make prefix=xxx install" instead and removec provide.

Re: First AUR package

Looks fine, except for that echo | tr stuff, which is ugly and unnecessary IMO.

Re: First AUR package

tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]' is bad in two ways: 1) You don't add brackets around a range for `tr', i.e., use tr a-z A-Z. 2) What set of characters a-z or A-Z specifies is subject to locale settings, when you really want to use it like this, set environment LC_ALL=C.

I recommend either using a _pkgname=SPTK, or ${pkgname^^} which I believe is locale-independant.

Re: First AUR package

Thanks, tomk, it is ugly yes, but not unnecessary afaik, because while the package name is in lower case, the source tarball from
their website is in upper case. If I leave the tr stuff out, makepkg will not be able to download the package.
The only other options I see is to either
1) make the package name upper case (violation),
2) Use a custom variable (violation as well) or
3) Hardcode the source tarball name without use of a variable (second best after the tr method, but still... ).

Neither of these is rather appealing to me, so if you know another way, please tell me, I do found the tr way simply
the lesser of the 4 evils..

EDIT:
Thanks lolilolicon, got the tr version from google, will try your second suggestion now.

Re: First AUR package

${pkgname^^} works fine and looks better as well, thank you lolilolicon, updated PKGBUILD in first post.

Re: First AUR package

Hardcoding is the obvious solution IMO.

Still what? The source tarball name is unlikely to change, after all.

which means something from the build directory is moved into PKGDIR. Putting

rm -r ${pkgdir}/home

to the end of the package function solves this for me, but this only works if you build your stuff somewhere under /home.

Re: First AUR package

Forgot to mention that this packages conflicts with boost, since both have a file /usr/bin/bcp.

Re: First AUR package

@tomk:
Still there will be two variable with the nearly same content, one in upper, one in lower case.
Besides, Package Etiquette states, that unless the package cannot be built without doing so one should never use custom variables; and I want to stick as close as possible to the guidelines.

@Stefan Husmann:
I can confirm this and will look into it, thank you for that, I missed it.

Re: First AUR package

Ok, so after I send the autobots out to scout the net for solutions and to inspect the Makefile(s), they came up with this:

Instead of trying to fix the DESTDIR problem the Makefile(s) seem(s) to have - I could not get it to install some files in the correct directory, would've had to write a sed oneliner to copy them - the easiest solution did come from BB, who found  this (Example section at the bottom of the page).

I had never seen "make prefix=xxx install" before, but it works well. I could've used ./configure --prefix=$pkgdir/usr, but although the package will be made nicely that way, it will trigger a warning by makepkg concerning references to $pkgdir.

With make prefix=xxx install the files get installed in $pkgdir the way they should.

@Stefan: Could you please verify that it works for you as well?

Also, I added x68_64 to the arch array, since it seemed to build well for Stefan.

???

Final clarification - my recommendation is this:

pkgname=sptk
pkgver=3.4.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A suite of speech signal processing tools."
arch=('i686' 'x68_64')
url="http://sourceforge.net/projects/sp-tk/files/"
license=('BSD')
depends=('libx11')
provides=('sptk')
conflicts=('boost')
source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sp-tk/SPTK-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('42615c62edcc0e1df5a83535d0b074f2')

build() {
  cd "$srcdir/SPTK-$pkgver"

  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make
}

package() {
  cd "$srcdir/SPTK-$pkgver"

  make prefix="$pkgdir"/usr install
  install -D -m644 COPYING "${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}/COPYING"
}

Re: First AUR package

Isn't provides=('sptk') redundant?
Of course this packages provides itself. There is no package in the main repos this conflicts with (in terms of package name), so I don't see the purpose of this line.

Sorry, somehow my brain was not interpreting that when I was reading what you wrote. Anyway, thanks for the recommendation, I'll think about it before I post it to the AUR.

SidK wrote:

Probably... I did not read the description about provide 'cause I thought it was obvious and just filled it out, thanks, read up on that option and will remove it before releasing.

Re: First AUR package

Sorry for the late reply.

Having "make prefix=$pkgdir install" the build succeeds and the rubbish in $pkgdir/home is gone.

You are right, I build on x86_64. Forgot to mention that.

I also recommend to remove the provides line.

Happy contributing!

Re: First AUR package

Too late, someone apparently contributed a PKGBUILD right after I made this thread... One that installs it the package to /opt no less, instead of simply stating that it conflicts with boost. Well, thanks for all your help anyway, too bad someone had strangely interesting timing >.>

Re: First AUR package

Hi there,

I submitted the package, following the discussion there:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=128267

Is it possible to merge the two threads?

To summarize, here are some of the issues and the proposed solutions:
The package provides lots of binaries which are not necessarily used by everyone (these are just tools and not everybody needs all of them)
- libx11 dependency: it is only required to plot some graphics, so it is not really necessary, but it can be nice, should it be in optdepends ? (only built when libx11 is installed)
- tcsh dependency: some scripts are using #!/bin/csh, so should tcsh be in 'depends' or 'optdepends' (only built when tcsh is installed)
- boost conflict: this should not conflict because there is no reason to not be able to install both (see the other thread), solution proposed was to rename the binary or put it in /opt
