[SOLVED] Unable to build AUR package

Hello! I'm reviewing the PKGBUILD of https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/nerd- … o-extended package for updating it, but I get error in the build function. It is not clear why it is failing, and when I build in clean chroot environment, I note that in srcdir it creates "font-patcher-3.0.2" as symlink instead of as executable. I'm trying to update the PKGBUILD as the following:

# Maintainer: valentino
pkgname=nerd-fonts-noto-sans-mono-extended
pkgver=3.0.2
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Noto Sans Mono including Condensed variants. Sourced directly from Google, patched with the Nerd Fonts Patcher"
arch=('any')
url='https://www.google.com/get/noto/'
license=('custom')
makedepends=('git' 'python' 'fontforge' 'subversion' 'parallel' 'python-argparse')
conflicts=('nerd-fonts-noto' 'nerd-fonts-noto-sans-mono')
provides=('nerd-fonts-noto-sans-mono-extended')
source=("svn+https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-fonts/trunk/hinted/ttf/NotoSansMono"
        "font-patcher-$pkgver::https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/download/v$pkgver/FontPatcher.zip" "svn+https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/tags/v$pkgver/src/glyphs")
sha256sums=('SKIP'

            'SKIP')

build() {
  _patcher="font-patcher-$pkgver-glyphdir"
  # patch fonts
  mkdir -p "$srcdir/patched"
  printf "%b" "\e[1;33m==> WARNING: \e[0mNow patching all fonts. This will take very long...\n"
  # patch fonts quiet with complete single-width glyphs
  parallel -j$(nproc) python "$srcdir/$_patcher" --glyphdir "$srcdir/glyphs/" -q -c -s {} -out "$srcdir/patched" &> /dev/null ::: "$srcdir/NotoSansMono"/*.ttf
}

package() {
  # install fonts
  install -d "$pkgdir/usr/share/fonts/NotoSansMono"
  install -m644 "patched"/*.ttf "$pkgdir/usr/share/fonts/NotoSansMono/"
}

With respect to the current PKGBUILD, I just removed the patch file (because I think it is useless on the new version) and bumped the version to the latest one (3.0.2). I also tried to define "_patcher=font-patcher-$pkgver".

Maybe, since in clean chroot font-patcher is extracted as broken symlink (despite the real zip contains an executable), could it be the issue?

You might want to say what this error is.

Why would it be an executable? It should be a symlink to the source for that entry in the source array. Apparently this gets extracted to a python script called font-patcher not font-patcher-3.0.2 which I gather is the source of at least one of your errors: you're trying to execute a zip file rather than the extracted content. Also note your checksum is wrong.

This is working (so far):

Thank you @Trilby . I tried your proposal, it works. Thank you very much.

I didn't notice it in my first edit, but directing all output to /dev/null is a horrible idea. That's why there's no information about what's going wrong. Remove that.

Also I'm not too familiar with parallel - according to it's man page it has a variety of ways of handling output (e.g., stderr) so be sure to handle that appropriately and if it is directed to a file, check that file for error information.

(or perhaps better yet, just completely get rid of parallel - for now - until you identify the problem).

EDIT: eh, nevermind - apparently when you said it failed, it worked But still, redirecting all output is a bad idea - remove that.
