I started using a ${_realname} var in my perl PKGBUILDS - same idea as cpanname except the "::" name isn't really needed. Check out perl-net-dns for a good example. k On Mon, 2008-07-07 at 01:12 +1000, Allan McRae wrote:

Hi all,

I have been adding some PKGBUILD prototypes into the abs package as requested in [1]. So far I have added ones for perl, gnome and haskell packages.

I'd especially appreciate some comments on the haskell PKGBUILD/install file from our new haskell devs. Please look at the commit at my working branch [2].

Also, there are suggestions in the bug report to add java and lisp prototypes. Anyone have a good suggestions of packages to base these off?

Thanks, Allan

Allan,

I've looked at the PKGBUILD-perl.proto, which is almost identitcal to the one I had put on community together with those added by Sergej. As someone mentioned on flyspray, I had made a mistake in the url field: $pkgname should not be used there. In my perl packages I actually don't use any variable in the $url except for the $pkgver, but perhaps we could use the custom variable ${_cpanname}. It is of course always different from the package name (the rule being very often ${_cpanname} = Foo-Bar => $pkgname = perl-foo-bar).

Thanks, I missed that. I noticed that there should also not be $pkgname in the cd to the source either.

...

For Java I think there is a prototype on the wiki.

There is an outline of what the package should look like but not an actual pkgbuild. I could make one from it but I am being lazy...

Allan
