Hi List,

based on this page (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1253365) I tried to build a texlive-most-doc package:

#+NAME: PKGBUILD #+BEGIN_SRC shell pkgname=texlive-most-doc pkgver=$(date +%Y%m%d) pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="Most TeXLive documentation" url="http://tug.org/texlive/"; arch=('any') license=('unknown') optdepends=('texlive-bin: The texdoc program and some more documentation') makedepends=('wget') install=${pkgname}.install options=('!strip' '!purge')

build() { wget -r -l inf -N -nH -nv --cut-dirs=3 -P "$srcdir/usr/share/" ftp://tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf-dist/doc wget -r -l inf -N -nH -nv --cut-dirs=3 -P "$srcdir/usr/share/" ftp://tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf/doc/asymptote wget -r -l inf -N -nH -nv --cut-dirs=3 -P "$srcdir/usr/share/" ftp://tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf/doc/dvipng/dvipng.pdf wget -r -l inf -N -nH -nv --cut-dirs=3 -P "$srcdir/usr/share/" ftp://tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf/doc/dvips/dvips.pdf wget -r -l inf -N -nH -nv --cut-dirs=3 -P "$srcdir/usr/share/" ftp://tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf/doc/man wget -r -l inf -N -nH -nv --cut-dirs=3 -P "$srcdir/usr/share/" ftp://tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf/doc/info wget -r -l inf -N -nH -nv --cut-dirs=3 -P "$srcdir/usr/share/" ftp://tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf/doc/tetex wget -r -l inf -N -nH -nv --cut-dirs=3 -P "$srcdir/usr/share/" ftp://tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf/doc/texlive wget -r -l inf -N -nH -nv --cut-dirs=3 -P "$srcdir/usr/share/" ftp://tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf/doc/texworks wget -r -l inf -N -nH -nv --cut-dirs=3 -P "$srcdir/usr/share/" ftp://tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf/doc/web2c/web2c.pdf wget -r -l inf -N -nH -nv --cut-dirs=3 -P "$srcdir/usr/share/" ftp://tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf/doc/ttf2pk/ttf2tfm.txt wget -r -l inf -N -nH -nv --cut-dirs=3 -P "$srcdir/usr/share/" ftp://tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf/doc/ttf2pk/ttf2pk.txt }

package() { cp -rl "$srcdir"/* "$pkgdir" } #+END_SRC

[...]

As the error message says, the directory

ftp://tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf/doc

does not exist. Your URLs are invalid.

Problem is that downloads worked, I have all the docs on my hard-drive now: ,---- | /home/tj/abs/texlive-most-doc/src/usr/share/texmf-dist/doc: | insgesamt 256 | drwxr-xr-x 55 tj tj 4096 31.

Since the URLs are invalid, the build() function seems to fail at the second wget line and aborts the whole process so no package gets built. Fixing the build() function so that wget no longer fails should get you a working package.

I still wonder how 1.5GB were downloaded from invalid URLs, but since I have that files own disk now, I will try to tweak the build() function to make it work - thx for the hint. -- cheers, Thorsten

I'm curious, why aren't the files downloaded using sources in the pkgbuild metadata?

I just copied this from the web (see link in my first post), and comments stated that it works - but apparently things have changed since then (2013?) -- cheers, Thorsten

I wonder, since the first line should have downloaded everything you wanted are the following lines needed at all?

In the second and the following wget lines, you are trying to download subdirectories of ftp://tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf/ which doesn't exist. In the first link you are downloading subdirectories of ftp://tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf-dist/ which does exist and the subdirectories you are trying to download in the second wget line and onwards do exist as subdirectories of texmf-dist. For example: ftp://tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf-dist/doc/asymptote. But as was already pointed out, these get downloaded by the first wget already. I also looked through the manpage of wget to figure out what all these flags do, but I couldn't find any information on -nv. What does it do? 2014-09-01 20:23 GMT+02:00 Thorsten Jolitz :

Probably not, but as I said - this recipe is copied from the web, I don't know nothing about the dir structure of the texlive server ... it must have changed recently.
