Re: Problem with maya 5 package

my guess is that gzip is having issues with the underscore.  you may have to place forward slashes in front of and behind it.

Re: Problem with maya 5 package

My pkgbuild(test):

pkgname=maya
pkgver=5.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Powerful 3d modeling software"
url="alias.com"
depends=('xfree86')
source=(Maya5_0-$pkgver-18.i686.rpm)
md5sums=()
# build-time deps: rpmunpack, cpio, gzip

build() {
cd $startdir/pkg
rpmunpack < $startdir/src/Maya5_0-$pkgver-18.i686.rpm | gzip -d | cpio -idmuv
chmod 755 -R .
}

My error:

==> Extracting Sources...

gzip: stdin: unknown method 0 -- get newer version of gzip
cpio: premature end of archive

Re: Problem with maya 5 package

gzip -d Maya5_0-5.0-18.cpio.gz
