[arch-general] pkgbuild of tightvnc doesn't produce and installable package?
Guys, I'm obviously doing something wrong. I set up abs, then copied the tightvnc package to my build dir, then I built it with makepkg -s (built clean - no errors), then I went to install it and it bombed. 03:24 dcrgx2:~/arch/abs/tightvnc> sudo pacman -U tightvnc-1.3.10_unixsrc.tar.bz2 loading package data... error: missing package metadata in tightvnc-1.3.10_unixsrc.tar.bz2 error: 'tightvnc-1.3.10_unixsrc.tar.bz2': invalid or corrupted package What metadata am I missing? What did I do wrong? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. Rankin Law Firm, PLLC 510 Ochiltree Street Nacogdoches, Texas 75961 Telephone: (936) 715-9333 Facsimile: (936) 715-9339 www.rankinlawfirm.com

You are trying to install the source code and not the package. Look for a file ending in -pkg.tar.gz. Allan
