I'm trying to write a PKGBUILD to create a package for a script I wrote. I first realised there were problems when
makepkg -g
didn't download anything. So I ran
makepkg --check
and got the following result:
==> ERROR: pkgname is not allowed to be empty.
==> ERROR: pkgrel is not allowed to be empty.
==> ERROR: pkgver is not allowed to be empty.
==> ERROR: is not available for the 'x86_64' architecture.
Note that many packages may need a line added to their PKGBUILD
such as arch=('x86_64').
I'm confused as the PKGBUILD contains all those variables:
# Maintainer: Paul Hunnisett <arch AT redfruit DOT co DOT uk>
pkgname=netcfg-manager
pkgver=1.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Manages netcfg profiles to allow netcfg to start user defined profiles and stop when one succeeds"
url="http://www.archlinux.org"
arch=('all')
license=('GPLv3')
depends=('netcfg')
makedepends=()
conflicts=()
replaces=()
backup=()
source=('https://www.dropbox.com/s/m3itcvgbf8bi8ct/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar')
md5sums=()
package() {
cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}"
}
Obviously it's not finished yet - but it won't even download the existing source, or pass a --check and I can't understand why not.

The first problems are that "all" should be changed to "any"
arch=('any')
and in the source array, the single quotes need to be removed or changed to double quotes.

I took your code and put it in a PKGBUILD. Only one error:
$ makepkg --check
==> ERROR: netcfg-manager is not available for the 'i686' architecture.
Note that many packages may need a line added to their PKGBUILD
such as arch=('i686').
After changing arch=('all') to arch=('any') as it should be, because all is wrong (:-P), it did not build like this:
makepkg --check
==> Making package: netcfg-manager 1.0-1 (Sa 26. Jan 14:52:15 CET 2013)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...

Thanks guys - I have it all working now. This is my (hopefully final) PKGBUILD. Any comments on it before I attempt to submit it to AUR?
# Maintainer: Paul Hunnisett <arch AT redfruit DOT co DOT uk>
pkgname=netcfg-manager
pkgver=1.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Manages netcfg profiles to allow netcfg to start user defined profiles and stop when one succeeds"
url="http://www.archlinux.org"
arch=('any')
license=('GPL3')
depends=('bash')
makedepends=()
conflicts=()
replaces=()
backup=('etc/netcfg-manager.conf')
source=("https://www.dropbox.com/s/m3itcvgbf8bi8ct/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar")
md5sums=('52d7d8993bd2cfd58def91b3eddb8169')
package() {
cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}"
install -Dm755 netcfg-manager "$pkgdir/usr/bin/netcfg-manager"
install -Dm755 netcfg-manager.service "$pkgdir/usr/lib/systemd/system/netcfg-manager.service"
install -Dm755 netcfg-manager.conf "$pkgdir/etc/netcfg-manager.conf"
}

For minor changes, I would remove the empty fields and change the service+conf perms from 755 to 644.
For me, the md5 was wrong and needed to be this:
md5sums=('7e174bd00e76fc41384edb130ccb2e95')

thanks, yes - the md5sum had changed due to some tweaking - apologies. Latest is:
# Maintainer: Paul Hunnisett <arch AT redfruit DOT co DOT uk>
pkgname=netcfg-manager
pkgver=1.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Manages netcfg profiles to allow netcfg to start user defined profiles and stop when one succeeds"

depends=('bash')

package() {
cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}"

The second error is your source line. Single quotes.:wq
Dude... Did you just use a Vi command to post your reply?
