Problem with AUR

Uzytkownik · 2007-07-23 18:41:26

I have some problems with AUR and makepkg.
Here's PKGBUILD:

pkgname=pan
pkgver=0.131
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="a GNOME newsreader"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
license=('GPL')
url=http://pan.rebelbase.com/
conflicts=()
depends=('gtkspell', 'gmime', 'pcre')
makedepends=('pkgconfig')
source=http://pan.rebelbase.com/download/releases/$pkgver/source/pan-$pkgver.tar.gz
md5sums=(b7fcd12222e58df6da77b1c574a8d66f)

build() {
        cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
        ./configure --prefix=/usr 
        make || return 1
        make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

1. If I run makepkg it says It cannot solve dependences. However pacman -Q says I have all of them
2. If I try to upload it to AUR it says that such PKGBUILD does not exists.

What's wrong

PS. I behind firewall so I can't use any CVS to fetch AUR.

1) Don't separate your depends with commas. Just whitespace.
2) You need to tarball your PKGBUILD to submit to the AUR.

Have you read AUR User Guidelines and Arch Packaging Standards ? They're important.

Ok. It should be no ',' - in most languages I knowthere are.
Sorry for trouble.

Problem with uploading still exists.

Thank you for responding. I've got mail just when I clicked submit button. I read all of things on wiki I had found to. I'm going to read this and then I tell you if I have read them.

What's the contents of the tarball you're trying to submit to the AUR?

Cerebral · 2007-07-23 18:51:07

Wait - why are you trying to upload pan to the AUR? It exists in extra (and looks like a newer version than the one you've posted) - you're not allowed to upload packages in the official repos to the AUR anyway.

-edit- Oh... you're probably wanting the devel version, my bad - if you're looking for the development version of pan, it's already uploaded: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … ns=&SeB=nd -/edit-

I haven't sent the tarball yet. But as far as I understend I should sent a tarbal with one directory (for example pan) which contains PKGBUILD(pan/PKGBUILD).

Content of pkgbuild should be something like:

# Contributor: Maciej Piechotka <uzytkownik2@gmail.com>
pkgname=pan
pkgver=0.131
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="a GNOME newsreader"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
license=('GPL')
url=http://pan.rebelbase.com/
conflicts=()
depends=('gtkspell' 'gmime' 'pcre')
makedepends=('pkgconfig')
source=http://pan.rebelbase.com/download/releases/$pkgver/source/pan-$pkgver.tar.gz
md5sums=(b7fcd12222e58df6da77b1c574a8d66f)

build() {
        cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
        ./configure --prefix=/usr 
        make || return 1
        make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

I was sure I look through AUR at least few times. However I skip the package. Thank you very much - at least I learned something about building packages in arch.

PS. Is it possible to have an option to search only by names? If I search for keyword 'pan' I get few pages of results including all CPAN modules.

If you haven't tried to upload a tarball, where is your "problem with uploading" coming from?

Also your understanding is correct - that is the desired structure.

Glad to have helped you find pan-devel - I'm not sure if there's a good regex way of searching the name only...

Well. The problem was when I didn't know about tarball. But I know now both about tarball and pan-devel so it is no point in messing AUR.
