pkgbuild help[SOLVED]

Hey, I trying to update the latest version of ardour on my system but the release is ardour-2.6-4004.tar.bz2.
I edit the the PKGBUILD from extra and followed the wiki to change the
pkgver to look like:
pkgver=2.6_4004 instead of
pkgver=2.6-4004 because hyphens are not allowed.

When I run makepkg -i, it tries to down a package ardour-2.6_4004.tar.bz2, not the real package ardour-2.6-4004.tar.bz2.

Can someone help with how to edit the PKGBUILD?
Thanx

Re: pkgbuild help[SOLVED]

There are different ways to do it, but you can just replace all the $pkgver references with 2.6-4004 directly.  Change the 2 lines that originally called $pkgver to this:

source=(http://ardour.org/files/releases/${pkgname}-2.6-4004.tar.bz2 \

...

cd ${startdir}/src/${pkgname}-2.6-4004

...

You can also take advantage of bash's string manipulation features and write:

${pkgver//_/-}

wherever you want underscores to be replaced by hyphens.
