1) fixed in r123
2) fixed in r124

thanks

Sweet, I'm recompiling core right now Next comes Pidgin, Pcman, Openbox, and other frequently used apps. (I already compile Firefox because I use firefox-branded form AUR)

maybe we could require root permissions only when a package (explicit or deps) must be installed

Cimi · 2008-12-11 15:36:10

any feature requested? someone who wants to help?

arch0r · 2008-12-11 19:50:08

downloading and building the source under root is just one issue which is imho quite dangerous above all when the app is running for hours.
defining a path/folder where to build the packages isn't that hard to realise, isn't it!?
unfortuanetly i'm not that good in shell scripting :>

ok, "fixed" in r128. Now pacbuilder doesn't require root permissions, only use sudo when it install/remove a package

I'll work on this

we need suggestions, thanks

fauno_ · 2008-12-14 16:28:51

maybe an option to not build and install, just build and leave packages on a directory? it would be useful for a custom repo

(or there is already there but i'm not seeing it? i've just read the --help but that's the impression i have)

MindTooth · 2008-12-15 14:10:15

Though the tool need some more documentation for n00bs like me. Useable examples, etc.

Hi!

I have got some problems with pacbuilder, it writes only the follow errormessage: "PKGBUILD not found!". What I make wrong?

I would really like to have such an option as well. Could you please implement this?

Be sure to have rsync installed and not to have a custom CARCH. If you need a custom CARCH you will have to modify line 584
$SYNCCMD $SYNCARGS ${SYNCSERVER}::abs/${CARCH}/${REPO}/${1} ${BUILD_DIR}
into
$SYNCCMD $SYNCARGS ${SYNCSERVER}::abs/i686/${REPO}/${1} ${BUILD_DIR}

otherwise pacbuilder won't be able to download PKGBUILD files.

Im having the same problem as him, im doing 'sudo pacbuilder --gccinfo --builddeps -n --world ' and for some packages, it will work fine and install, but for alot of them i get the "PKGBUILD not found" error, but the thing is, if i stop the build and start it again fresh after about 5-10m, the packages that failed start to work, but than others fail.

Anyone experience this problem and know of a solution?

Thank you

You have my problem. If you don't want type Password: after some packages(I don't know why only some of them) before start pacbuilder I start: sudo -s

pogeymanz · 2009-02-14 23:25:56

Yep. And uncommenting line 583 does nothing.

I guess I'll patiently wait for the next version.

TBomB · 2009-02-21 20:53:41

When I try running

sudo pacbuilder -Sv nano for example

I get

Running MAKEPKG as ROOT is a bad idea and can cause permanent, catastrophic damage to your system. If you wish to run as root, please use the --asroot option.

I was unable to install these packages: nano

running the command as normal user requires me to enter a password which then leads to the same error

Edit: nevermind, problem fixed with latest source code from google.

I have also tried to use Pacbuilder.. Installed Successfull... tried to make world.... didn't work. Many PKGBUILD could not be resolved... I tried the fixes described here.. still the same.

Would be amazing if someone would continue this project!
