[SOLVED] tvheadend 4.7.2 stable

I'm new to Archlinux and have it working but now want to install tvheadend 4.2.7-2. I'm finding that it's an AUR package in Archlinux so I'm trying to figure that out.  I used pacman to install base-devel  and the dependence packages. I created a PKGBUILD file from the link on the right side of the https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tvheadend/ page. 

But when I makepkg I get an error very quickly about the tvheadend.install file not existing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [SOLVED] tvheadend 4.7.2 stable

If it is already on the AUR (and the package is reasonable), you do not need to write a PKGBUILD, you can grab the snapshot (or clone the AUR repo) and use makepkg from there.

Please read the relevant wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … Repository

All the best,
