Re: [solved]yaourt local database save - command not found

Why not look at line 49 of /etc/yaourtrc? Keep in mind this file is sourced by Bash:

# This is a variable declaration
foo=bar

# This runs a program with 2 arguments
foo = bar

Re: [solved]yaourt local database save - command not found

I'm not sure if the wiki is up to date on this. Have you tried editing

# Build
#EXPORT=0           # Export builded package
#EXPORTSRC=0        # Need EXPORT=1 to be used
#EXPORTDIR=""       # If empty, use makepkg's connfiguration (see makepkg.conf)

in your /etc/yaourtrc?

Re: [solved]yaourt local database save - command not found

1.first thing i just added the line

  ExportToLocalRepository /var/cache/pacman/pkg-local

to the bottom of the yaourtrc file as per the wiki and ended up with the error.

   /etc/yaourtrc: line 49: ExportToLocalRepository: command not found

2.after falconindy's idea i added #

  #ExportToLocalRepository /var/cache/pacman/pkg-local

but now i dont see the error but then package is not getting saved in the pkg-local folder.

3.karol i tried your step,but still the packages are not saved in the pkg-local folder.

this is yaourtrc file after the edits but still packages are not saved....

Errr, you need to remove the '#' from the beginning of the line :-)

You've removed the comment from the last line and I wanted you to enable the EXPORTDIR etc., like so

EXPORTDIR="/var/cache/pacman/pkg-local"       # If empty, use makepkg's connfiguration (see makepkg.conf)

Re: [solved]yaourt local database save - command not found

Do you know what source code comments are? They are meant for you to read, not for the program to execute. '#' is used to mark a line as a comment.
If you want the program to run something, you need to uncomment the lines that you want to be run, like so

EXPORTDIR="/var/cache/pacman/pkg-local"

and comment out the ones you want to "hide" from the program:

#ExportToLocalRepository /var/cache/pacman/pkg-local

Re: [solved]yaourt local database save - command not found

that's what i thought first

karol wrote:

and i knew already that I need to uncomment the lines to execute the function.i didnt know bash scripting so i got it all wrong,thinking it was all different in bash.
Not a software pro either.so...

now uncommented the EXPORTDIR and now files are saved to the pkg-local folder.
thanks karol.
