Typo in makepkg man page...file bug report?

elasticdog · 2005-09-17 17:56:13

I noticed a minor typo in the makepkg man page and wondered if that warrants a bug report, or if there was another avenue to get that fixed?

The typo is in the section regarding md5sums where it instructs the user to type

makepkg -g >>PKGBILD

instead of

makepkg -g >>PKGBUILD

do you have pacman 2.9.7-4 installed? The only reference to it I see is spelled right:

          Download  all  source  files (if required) and use
              md5sum to generate md5 hashes for  each  of  them.
              You  can  then  redirect the output into your PKG-
              BUILD for source  validation  (makepkg  -g  >>PKG-
              BUILD)

Fixed in CVS. Thanks.

No prob Judd...
Yeah Penguin, I've got 2.9.7-4; strange that yours shows it correctly...

Penguin is referring to a different part in the man page

To easily generate md5sums,  first  build
using  the PKGBUILD then run makepkg -g >>PKGBILD.
Then you  can  edit  the  PKGBUILD  and  move  the
md5sums  line  from  the  bottom to an appropriate
location.

Doh!!! I see it now.
I can't believe I looked through this 5 times and never saw that part once....

try: man makepkg and then type /PKGBILD and hit enter.
