AUR won't accept PKGBUILD with numbers in the Package Name

Trying to submit a PKGBUILD called:

gstreamer0.10-pitfdll-cvs

I am getting an error "Invalid name: only lowercase letters are allowed."

Does this mean that numbers are not allowed in the package names in AUR?

The error goes away once I remove the numbers but that creates other errors, such as a mismatch with the name in the PKGBUILD file.

This package is just another plugin for the gstreamer0.10 series of packages in Arch.

build() {
  cd ${startdir}/src/${_relname}-${pkgver}
  plugins="amrnb"
  . ${startdir}/src/uglyconf
  rm -f ${startdir}/pkg/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/*.{,l}a
}

heres an example of gstreamer .10 plugin.. use that and just change the values u need to.. maybe u made some mistake

however, the only person who submitted gstreamer0.10 plugins to aur was a trusted user.. so maybe he had the right to bypass the error

AUR doesnt accept periods in the pkgname. [community] doesnt have the problem

I think you should report that as a bug in the AUR flyspray.

Re: AUR won't accept PKGBUILD with numbers in the Package Name

wasnt there some people rewriting the aur? aur 2.0 or something? with cmd-line access and everything... how's that going?
