[SOLVED] Cloning of Github repos by makepkg
Hi,
I do not understand under which circumstances a Github (or Gitlab or Bitbucket etc.) repo is cloned by makepkg.
(1) I created AUR packages for some of the tools that I had written. In the PKGBUILDs, the source array contains the url of the Github repo, and the repo is cloned by makepkg. It seems that this happens automatically since I did not do an explicite git clone in the PKGBUILD.
(2) I am currently working on a Calamares-based installer for Arch. As part of this effort, I am packaging Calamares. The url of the Calamares Github repo is contained in the source array of the PKGBUILD, but the repo is not cloned automatically (and so, I do this explicitely in the prepare() function).
I don't understand the different behavior of makepkg in the cases (1) and (2). Can anybody explain?
Thanks,
mipi

Show the source array for 1 and 2.

Source arrays:
(1): source=("git://github.com/mipimipi/$_pkgname.git")
(2): source=("https://github.com/calamares/calamares.git")

@Trilby: Thanks for the link. But why isn't the repo cloned in case (2)? the url is compatible to the format that is described in the documentation.

No, it isn't.
vcs+ is needed for URLs that do not reflect the VCS type, e.g. git+http://some_repo.

Re: [SOLVED] Cloning of Github repos by makepkg
Yep, that was it. Cloning works also in case (2) if I replace "https" by "git+http".
Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] Cloning of Github repos by makepkg
or "git+https://" or "git://" would work. No specific form is needed, but if the url protocol itself doesn't indicate what downloader to use, you need to specify it before a "+".
