[SOLVED] How to set curl options in PKGBUILD

Hi,

I'm wokring on my first PKGBUILD and getting the following error when running makepkg -si

url: (60) SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
More details here: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not
establish a secure connection to it. To learn more about this situation and
how to fix it, please visit the web page mentioned above.

This can be overridden by using curl -k but I do not see a way to tell curl to use specific options in the PKGBUILD file.

Frank

Re: [SOLVED] How to set curl options in PKGBUILD

DLAGENTS=('protocol::/path/to/command [options]' ...)
           Sets the download agents used to fetch source files specified with a URL in the PKGBUILD(5) file. Options can be specified for each command as well, and any protocol can
           have a download agent. Any spaces in option arguments are required to be escaped to avoid being split. Several examples are provided in the default makepkg.conf.

           If present, %u will be replaced with the download URL. Otherwise, the download URL will be placed on the end of the command. If present, %o will be replaced with the
           local file name, plus a “.part” extension, which allows makepkg to handle resuming file downloads.

Whether you can - or should - do that in the PKGBUILD itself I'm unsure of.

Much easier would be to not use https but to just use http.

You shouldn't be setting this in the PKGBUILD. It is up to the user if they want to accept a certificate that can't be verified.

If they do want to, then they can edit their ~/.makepkg.conf file to adjust DLAGENTS= appropriately.

Thanks, all, using http to fetch the file.
