[SOLVED] AUR Update Process

fukawi2 · 2009-04-20 06:40:08

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but things aren't working for me...

1) New version of nagios-nrpe is out. I'm the maintainer so I guess I should update it! http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22633
2) I updated the PKGBUILD and uploaded it using "Submit"
3) Built it on my 32-bit VPS all OK
4) Tried to build it on my 64-bit desktop and it fails because I'm missing "nagios-nrpe.install"

Now at this point I don't really know why it built on my VPS. I assume the file was already there from previously.

5) Update the PKGBUILD to a new pkgrel number (2) and created a tarball with:
PKGBUILD
nagios-nrpe.install
rc.nrpe
6) I'm trying to upload this package with 'Submit' and I don't get any errors, but it won't update to the new version

Am I doing the process correctly? Creating a tarball with all the files?

All seems alright with your package now... I guess you got served a page from your cache.

I use "makepkg --source" to make the tarball so I don't miss any source files.

Gargh... It's right too now too, thanks Allan.

So what I'm doing is correct?
1) Update the PKGBUILD
2) Test it locally (makepkg -g and makepkg)
3) Create a tarball with the PKGBUILD and any other files (eg, .install and rc. files)
4) Upload this tarball to the AUR using 'Submit'

Looks good to me, but 3) is a lot easier using "makepkg --source".
