[Solved] pkgver() function

Howdy,

I've tried everything and I can't get the pkgver() function to work. This is what I'm using (got it from the wiki):

pkgver() {
  cd "$SRCDEST/lcsgame"
  svnversion | tr -d [A-z]
}

Here's the PKGBUILD

pkgname=lcs-svn
pkgver() {
  cd "$SRCDEST/lcsgame"
  svnversion | tr -d [A-z]
}
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A satirical console-based political role-playing/strategy game in which you recruit a team of Elite Liberal radicals and try to save the United States from a descent into Arch-Conservatism."
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://sourceforge.net/projects/lcsgame/"
license=('GPL2')
depends=('ncurses')
makedepends=('autoconf' 'subversion')
provides=('lcs')
conflicts=('lcs')
replaces=('lcs')
options=('!strip' '!buildflags' '!makeflags')
source=('lcsgame::svn+http://svn.code.sf.net/p/lcsgame/code/trunk')
md5sums=('SKIP')

build() {
  cd "${srcdir}/lcsgame"
  ./bootstrap
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make
}

package() {
  cd "${srcdir}/lcsgame"
  make install DESTDIR="${pkgdir}"
}

Edit: Here's the namcap report, which I forgot lol

Error: error: invalid package file

Error: PKGBUILD is not a valid PKGBUILD

Re: [Solved] pkgver() function

the pkgver() function updates the pkgver= variable. You don't have that variable.

Re: [Solved] pkgver() function

For the initial declaration of the variable, just use:

pkgver=0

And then include the function before build() {

Re: [Solved] pkgver() function

Don't use $SRCDEST.  Just "cd lcsgame"

Oops, I knew it'd be something like this! lol.

Thank you!

I disagree with that. IMO, it's always better to cd to an absolute path at the beginning of a function so you know for sure where you are.

I like using the full path too...

Edit: but $SRCDEST is wrong in pkgver()...

In that case, he should use $srcdir instead of $SRCDEST

That won't work until pacman 4.1.1. Right now, the source in $srcdir is an svn export, so it has no version control info.
