I can't upload package - Package URL is missing a protocol
I uploaded 3 packages in last days, and now I can't upload anymore:
"Package URL is missing a protocol (ie. http:// ,ftp://)"
My URL is:
"/var/abs/local/galaxymage.tar.gz"
I tried to add "file:" in the beginning (didn't help), but I remember I used same kind of URL when I was uploading previous packages!
What I am doing wrong?

Re: I can't upload package - Package URL is missing a protocol
I dont' understand what's going on here. Are you using the script ( that was posted in the forum) to directly upload package to AUR? To upload package from the Submit page on AUR, you just click on the Browse button to select the package. The protocol should be set automatically, AFAIK.
Or is it about the URL in the source array?

Re: I can't upload package - Package URL is missing a protocol
I click "submit", then I click "browse" and select file from my disk. Then the URL looks like that:
/home/jp/galaxymage.tar.gz
Then I fill "package name" and "comment" and select category, then I click "upload" and see:
Package URL is missing a protocol (ie. http:// ,ftp://)
I am sure that it was working yesterday (same way!).

Re: I can't upload package - Package URL is missing a protocol
sounds like it refering to PKGBUILD itself, like the url variable. can you please post your PKGBUILD?

if $url is like usr="ping.com" it will not work, you need to have it like url="http://ping.com"

Re: I can't upload package - Package URL is missing a protocol
Penguin - you are right, url is empty in PKGBUILD. Message was confusing because I though that it means URL of tar.gz package.

Re: I can't upload package - Package URL is missing a protocol
Thanks for help, package is in AUR 
Please comment my packages, because I am just starting writing PKGBUILDs.
Thanks WillySilly for information about sourceforge mirrors, but I still don't know how to specify URL for sf.
