*-svn AUR mega bug.

Project Subversion (SVN) Service:       Online [1]          Last updated: 2007-01-05 Pacific

Recent Updates »

( 2007-07-09 10:43:54 - Project Subversion (SVN) Service )   As announced, support for the deprecated subversion access method (svn.sourceforge.net) was removed. Please use the PROJECT.svn.sourceforge.net access method that is described in our docs.

This is affecting A LOT of *-svn packages from AUR. They are fetching their SVN sources from https://svn.sourceforge.net and THIS ISN'T WORKING ANYMORE, because they must now specify the project name BEFORE "svn" (https://[projectname].svn.sourceforge.net).

Can any TU fix all of those packages?

Thanks in advance.

Re: *-svn AUR mega bug.

packages in unsupported have a maintainer for a reason. have u tried contacting them first?

Re: *-svn AUR mega bug.

I know it, but there are simply too many maintainers, and I thought I'd get more attention here. Thanks

Re: *-svn AUR mega bug.

you could try alerting the maintainers/devs of such scripts as yaourt/pacbuild/etc.

alternatively

function sfs() {
    pattern="://svn.\(sourceforge\|sf\).net/"
    if [[ "${_svntrunk}x" != "x" &&    `echo $_svntrunk | grep "$pattern"` ]];
    then _svntrunk=`echo $_svntrunk | sed "s@$pattern@://${_svnmod}.sourceforge.net/@g"`
    fi
}
alias build="sfs;build;"

in /etc/makepkg.conf should be a sufficient workaround while the pkgbuild maintainers catch-up .

unfortnately i am nowhere near an AL system so i can't confirm that it works.. but simple test with

_svntrunk=https://sf.net/svn/project/trunk
_svnmod=project

function build() {
    echo $_svntrunk

}

#::how i tested it::
#file1: mkpkg   > above function + . pb \n build
#file2: pkgbuild >above code

shows promising results

sorry my bash programming isn't as good as I'd like feel free to rip it apart if you like
hope it works;)

Re: *-svn AUR mega bug.

I have made an announcement about this which will be added to the frontpage news automagically, that should get the word out to most.

Thanks.
