Hi List,

and ended up with this directory structure:

Now I have all the texlive doc files in /abs/texlive-most-doc/src, but not a package I can install via pacman -U, so I'm not quite sure how to proceed.

Any hints would be welcome.

As the error message says, the directory ftp://tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf/doc does not exist. Your URLs are invalid.

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:

but building the package failed.

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.

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

Well, the first URL was valid and wget -r turns on recursive mode. The first command therefore downloaded the "...live/texmf-dist/doc" directory and its subdirectories. Then the second wget line fails and the process is aborted.

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

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. -- cheers, Thorsten

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?

I have no idea why you didn't find it: -nv --no-verbose Turn off verbose without being completely quiet (use -q for that), which means that error messages and basic information still get printed. Please don't top-post.
