makepkg gone weird
I have a PKGBUILD for a SVN package that i manually edit to change the 'pkgver' to build as I want,
after the new pacman update, things seem broken (or vastly different to pre 3.3.0):
because I'm updating svn i could previously just miss out the 'md5sums' but now it seems it needs it, and even if i do do a 'makepkg -g' to get the sums, it still doesn't build.
using '${pkgver}' in the url for the package doesn't seem to work now.
even if i have the right package version in the pkgbuild directory it doesn't check that file but it re-downloads it every-time.

Re: makepkg gone weird
Ignoring md5sums variable has alredy been discussed and there's even an issue somewhere around.

Re: makepkg gone weird
I really don't get you are saying, but I would guess there is a problem with your PKGBUILD.
Are you sure you are following the guidelines : http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arc … N_PKGBUILD ?

Re: makepkg gone weird
Hello gav616!
Which package do you speaking about so that we can check the exact case.

Re: makepkg gone weird
This has bothered me too. With the newest pacman, it appearantly forces you to include correct md5sums in the PKGBUILD. I often build slightly customized packages from ABS/AUR, and it's a chore to always do makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD && makepkg everytime

VCS packages are a separate issue when it comes to md5sums. If you follow the proper guidelines for making svn/git/cvs/etc packages, source/md5sums aren't required even with the new pacman.
That being said, I'm with shining.. I don't really get what gav616 is saying either.
