[solved] Multiple hyphens in PKGBUILD source directive

Moderator: If this is not the correct forum please feel free to move this as appropriate.

Hello,

I have been trying my hand at creating PKBUILDS and submitting them to ABS.  This problem has me stumped.

I have a source file that is named hpgcc-2.0-sp2-linux.tar

I call the pkg hpgcc, and the version 2.0_sp2.  The architecture I ignore since this is a PKGBUILD for (duh) Linux

I create the source directive like:

source=(http://www.hpcalc.org/hp49/pc/programming/$pkgname-${pkgver/_/-}-linux.tar.bz2) 

So far, so good.  makepkg runs and builds a package, pacman -U installs it, no problem.
Clean the directory, archive it, uploaded to AUR.  Okay.  Download the tarbell to another computer, makepkg and install, no problem.

The issue is that the AUR page on the website munges the source file name:

 hpgcc 2.0_sp2-2
http://hpcalc.org
gcc C Compiler for HP 48,49,50 Calculators

Tarball :: Files :: PKGBUILD
Sources
http://www.hpcalc.org/hp49/pc/programming/hpgcc-2.0_sp2/_/-}-linux.tar.bz2

I don't think this is right -- a cursory look at other ABS pages all looked correct.  Am I missing something, is this a bug in the ARCH ABS site? or is this a just don't care?

This happens because AUR doesn't source PKGBUILD (for security reasons). You can leave it as it is or hardcode the source url.

Cool.

I'll not worry about it for now, and will probably just go with a hard coded address next time around.

Thanks Much.
