  mv xbrz_config.h "$pkgname/xbrz/"
  mv xbrz_tools.h  "$pkgname/xbrz/"
  mv Changelog.txt "$pkgname/xbrz/"

  cd "$pkgname"

build() {
  cd "$pkgname"
  make

package() {

  install -Dm 644 xbrz/Changelog.txt -t "$pkgdir/usr/share/doc/$pkgname"
}

I'm hoping its OK, namcap seems happy, but its my first, so I may have missed somthing. Guess I'm still a bit confused about when to use quotes, and what sort.

About the package; xBRZ is a new generation upscaling algorithm that produces better results than simple filters, especially with images such as low res pixel art. xbrzscale is a command line wrapper for the xBRZ library.

xbrzscale upstream is stuck at version 1.4, so I have incorporated the latest xBRZ version 1.8, and fixed the makefile.

Re: [SOLVED] PKGBUILD review request: xbrzscale

few things I notice right away.

'url' is defined twice, so the first one does nothing.
grabbing a tarball of master is unacceptable. It need to grab a version specific tarball.
the buildflag option is default, don't use it here.
mv can move more than one file at a time.

Re: [SOLVED] PKGBUILD review request: xbrzscale

Do not use ../.. in

patch -Np1 < ../../001-makefile.patch

,
use $srcdir instead.

I prefer quoting only the variable that needs to be quoted, i.e. "$pkgdir"/usr/bin instead of "$pkgdir/usr/bin", but that may be personal taste.

"depends" and "options" should be arrays, but for options also read the previous answer.

Both are personal taste.

Can't find one to use. However, xbrz uses a versioned tarball, and should xbrzscale change, the checksum will fail.

Re: [SOLVED] PKGBUILD review request: xbrzscale

Please post or link to 001-makefile.patch.  I am assuming this will fix the build failure I am seeing.
You are still using a tarball of the git master See Scimmia's comment in post #2.
If you want to track master,  you can make it a git package and track the git itself.
Edit:
Alternative way to change the path inside the archive:

noextract=($pkgname.tar.gz xbrz-$pkgver.zip)

prepare() {
  bsdtar -xf $pkgname.tar.gz -s /atheros-$pkgname-b719c2c/$pkgname/
  bsdtar -xf xbrz-$pkgver.zip -C "$pkgname"/xbrz 
 
  cd "$pkgname"
  patch -Np1 < "$srcdir/001-makefile.patch"
}

Re: [SOLVED] PKGBUILD review request: xbrzscale

The patch is in git here
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ … =xbrzscale

or you can just use download snapshot from here, and it should build fine.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xbrzscale

Thanks for the no-extract suggestion.

Re: [SOLVED] PKGBUILD review request: xbrzscale

Excuse me what. where did you get https://github.com/atheros/xbrzscale/tarball/master from? The standard, current urls for downloading from github are of the form https://github.com/atheros/xbrzscale/ar … ter.tar.gz

The old tarball/$ref form is a *bad* API and should never be used, hence why Github does not advertise it...

Note that the "master" part of either url is just a git ref, it could be anything that git accepts -- a commit, a branch, a tag -- but the branch "master" is simply very commonly used.

The AUR policy *requires* you use a tag or commit, not a branch. Please fix this.

...

loqs, what on earth is the point of switching to git for this? Given it must pin the source, there is no benefit to pinning it as a it checkout vs. pinning it as a normal file download.

There are no tags here, and I did not know the syntax to specify a GitHub commit.
loqs has nailed it in post 13.

I'm using the following;
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … guidelines
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Creating_packages

Is there another important page?  I missed the bit about not using master.

Stop right there.

There are no versioned releases of this software! The pkgver you've got right now is completely wrong, then, you can't base the pkgver on the version of some *other* software. You need to read this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VC … guidelines , even your pkgname is wrong in this case.

Could the lib xbrz be split out and dynamically linked to the application xbrzscale?
