Existing package in AUR that cannot be searched.

I tried to search for the libosmo-dsp package on this page. It turned out that there is no such package so I made my own PKGBUILD, tested it if it works and tried to load it into AUR. Unfortunately, I still got errors. For some of them I've found answers on stackoverflow that can be caused by the fact that the repository isn't empty. But how? There is no such package!

However, when I tried to run the

git clone aur.archlinux.org/libosmo-dsp.git

command I didn't get any error. Repository was cloned successfully.  I didn't test this PKGBUILD, but it looked working. It wasn't very different from mine.

So now I have two questions:

• Why you can't see it in the AUR searcher?

• How can I load my PKGBUILD so that it can be seen in the AUR searcher?

Re: Existing package in AUR that cannot be searched.

When a a package is deleted from aur it's not searchable any more , but its files are still kept in the repository and it can be retrieved by git.

In order to be able to become package maintainer and push updates you have to do things in a certain way and order, check https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AU … guidelines

After a new package has been uploaded it will be searchable.

You could have noted the previous maintainers contributions

epoch=0

Not needed

makedepends=('autoconf' 'make' 'git')

autoconf and make are in the base-devel group so do not need to be listed

source=('git://git.osmocom.org/libosmo-dsp')

The source is not pinned to the 0.4 release.

  ./configure

You do not specify --prefix=/usr so everything will be installed under /usr/local

package()
{

  cd $_gitname
  make DESTDIR=${pkgdir} install

}

unquoted use of $pkgdir
