Re: [arch-general] debian conversion tool
One of the debian sources I'm trying to convert is at: git clone http://www.github.com/dosemu2/install-freedos
For this package archlinux conversion isn't necessary. After installing dosemu2-git try: git clone http://www.github.com/dosemu2/install-freedos If you put that into ~/build cd build/install-freedos. What I did was to run msudo make install. Then I went into the install-freedos/src directory. Next I ran sudo pip install tqdm. Then I ran python ./freedos-installuserspace. That program runs others so when next you run dosemu -t and go into f:/bin You'll find a bunch of dos utilities you didn't have before. If anyone runs into problems following these directions I'll make a tee script of the commands and output and upload it to clear problems. On Tue, 27 Apr 2021, Jude DaShiell via arch-general wrote:

Please don't do this. - Don't sudo pip, just pacman -S python-tqdm - You should make an AUR package for this which depends on python-tqdm and runs `DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" prefix=/usr make install`

What should I be reading to learn how to put a correct PKGBUILD file together? One question I have is what to do about subdirectories in packages with respect to sha256sums. On Tue, 27 Apr 2021, Eli Schwartz via arch-general wrote:
