cloned source dir is not a clone of git...

Afternoon, good people. I wonder if somebody can help me?
I'm trying to install LinuxCNC from the AUR.
First I installed all the dependencies, so it's happy with that.
Next I had to learn that I needed to do

$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/linuxcnc.git

so that worked ok.
Next I did

$ cd linuxcrc
$ makepkg

But what it tells me is:

==> Making package: linuxcnc 2.7.14-2 (Wed 24 Apr 2019 12:17:56 BST)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> Retrieving sources...
==> ERROR: /home/throbscottle/Packages/linuxcnc/ is not a clone of git://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc.git
    Aborting...

Searching for the problem gets me a couple of possible solutions which don't seem to apply.
I have the default makepkg.conf, never had any reason to change it. Never done anything with git, don't really know anything about it, never needed it for any other AUR package. The linuxcnc directory is the one created by the cloning process, it contains the PKGBUILD, a script and a patch.
Here's the PKGBUILD:

# Maintainer: Peter Ivanov <ivanovp@gmail.com>
# Contributor: Alec Ari <neotheuser@ymail.com>

pkgname=linuxcnc
pkgver=2.7.14
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc="It can interpret G-code and simulate a CNC machine (formerly EMC2)."

depends=('bc' 'bwidget' 'tcl' 'tk' 'xorg-server' 'python2-imaging' 'tkimg' 'python2-gtkglext' 'tclx' 'boost' 'boost-libs' 'libtirpc' 'procps-ng' 'psmisc')
source=($_gitname::"git://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc.git#tag=v$pkgver" 'linuxcnc.sh' 'libtirpc.patch')

makedepends=('git' 'intltool')
PKGEXT='.pkg.tar'

build () {
  find . -iname fixpaths.py -o -iname checkglade -o -iname update_ini|xargs perl -p -i -e "s/python/python2/"
  cd $srcdir/$_gitname/src

  patch -Np2 -i $srcdir/libtirpc.patch

  ./autogen.sh
  ./configure --with-realtime=uspace --without-libmodbus --prefix=/usr --with-python=/usr/bin/python2.7 --enable-non-distributable=yes
  make
}

package() {
  cd $srcdir/linuxcnc/src
  make install DESTDIR=${pkgdir} || return 1
  #Stop hiding it from GNOME
  cp -PR $srcdir/linuxcnc/share/applications $pkgdir/usr/share/
  mkdir -p $pkgdir/etc/xdg
#  echo To avoid conflict with linux-manpages...
#  mv -v $pkgdir/usr/share/man/man9/abs.9.gz $pkgdir/usr/share/man/man9/linuxcnc_abs.9.gz
  cp -PR $srcdir/linuxcnc/share/menus $pkgdir/etc/xdg/
  install -Dm755 "${srcdir}/${pkgname}.sh" "${pkgdir}/etc/profile.d/${pkgname}.sh"
  ln -s /usr/bin/linuxcnc ~/Desktop/linuxcnc
}

I would really be very grateful if somebody can help with this

Re: cloned source dir is not a clone of git...

The same issue is noted on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linuxcnc/ see aquilarubra commented on 2018-11-25 20:19.  The submitter abandoned the package without addressing the issue.

source=($_gitname::"git://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc.git#tag=v$pkgver" 'linuxcnc.sh' 'libtirpc.patch')

_gitname is not defined

sha256sums=('72e4dad9c929b00d2a73d125d86f18600dc1c852abadcd3947fa0a7cbc28c88e'

git repositories need to use 'SKIP' in checksums

PKGEXT='.pkg.tar'

This choice should be left to user.

I gave up reading the PKGBUILD at this point.

Re: cloned source dir is not a clone of git...

I've not done any testing to explicitly confirm, but the fact that "_gitname" is used in two important places, but never defined, is a glaringly obvious problem with the PKGBUILD which I would expect to result in an error along the lines of what you are getting.

Report it to the package maintainer.

EDIT: too slow on the main point.  @loqs, a checksum should be used here though as the source is a specific git tag.

Re: cloned source dir is not a clone of git...

@Trilby the tag should produce an identical working tree but the bare repository as cloned by git could be different due to new commits etc.

Re: cloned source dir is not a clone of git...

Thanks for the heads up about the _gitname variable. I added in the line:

_gitname='linuxcnc'

So now it actually starts properly, failing at sha256sums instead.
I guess I have to just find updated checksums....

Re: cloned source dir is not a clone of git...

If loqs is right, you should not update the checksums but remove them.

An OT, to Awebb, yes he is.  I wonder if he's related to a prolific composer I learned about as a kid, Anonymous.

Re: cloned source dir is not a clone of git...

_commit='098ef6ef59201c445fbb1a370d4063da313614b2' #v2.7.14
source=($_gitname::"git://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc.git#commit=$_commit" 'linuxcnc.sh' 'libtirpc.patch')
sha256sums=('SKIP'
            'c0f1ea0d8c20baa5d69d89a1d6eb3549bc57cc56ff1a0af3d5b9917cbc6211a7'
            '92f63a3f58173fa9463329f74cff7365bfefd937729a70bbdc52684d9252333f')

The tag is not signed so switch to the commit of that tag and skip that entry in the checksums array.
Edit:
fix sha256sums skip first entry not last to match source array

Hey it worked!
Thanks a quadrillion, people!
I left a comment on the AUR page about the problem, so hope they get round to sorting it out.

If you adopt the package you could make the change.

AFAIK he has been banned, so he cannot.

You really should upload your working PKGBUILD.

There is no 'they' in this situation. That's not how open source works.
