xcmiscproto PKGBUILD fails

venomous · 2007-03-18 19:16:16

I'm trying to rebuild xorg server and xcmiscproto is among dependencies, and, regardless of whether it's being build automatically by srcpac or by manually entering the package directory in abs and running makepkg, it says:

==> Making package: xcmiscproto 1.1.2-1 (Sun Mar 18 21:18:21 PDT 2007)

Am I doing something wrong or what? I think that the abs tree must be recent, I tried re-running abs several times, doesn't help. Anybody got any ideas how to fix this? Thanks.

Does the URL check out at all?

Did you notice your pkgbuild is trying to fetch Xorg 7.0 RC4 stuff?

B: I think the URL is probably wrong, but that's the PKGBUILD that got fetched by abs. Isn't it supposed to be working as is? I've a feeling it may be a bug, but I'm not sure because I'm very new to archlinux and that's pretty much my first attempt at rebuilding a package from source.

I found this file on xorg website:

http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/proto/xcmiscproto-1.1.2.tar.bz2

Should I just replace the non-working url with this one?

Since the versions are the same, I would say yes. However, X is quite complex as it's a lot of tiny interdependent packages...

I'd take that one.

I've got the whole stuff building now, after modifying few PKGBUILD files. How correctly was it to do this will probably ultimately be known only after a day or few .

So, what with that original PKGBUILD file (for xcmiscproto, and it turned out there were other simiarly non-working packages in xorg-server deps)? Why did it have this problem? Is this technically a bug?

Probably the sources have moved places. But yes... It's a bug.

It's a bug yes. Usually we build a package and never update it if we don't need to. As we don't have our own sources hosted somewhere, upstream source changes could make a package unbuildable. If you find such packages, just post a bugreport and point to the new URL where the file is located in case you found it on an official location.

edit:
btw, this bug is solved for xcmiscproto now

Thanks for your reply . Ok, I get the idea, I'll try to file a bug when I get such problems.
