Hi all, Some time ago I asked for your comments on my PKGBUILD for lib32-libgtkhtml. After some corrections I uploaded it to the AUR (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40554). Some additional comments came in then and now I'm kinda stuck. You guys use common variables like _pkgbasename in your PKGBUILDs for the multilib repository. This seems to be against the AUR Packaging Standards (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Packaging_Standards) Quote: "Do not introduce new variables into your PKGBUILD build scripts, unless the package cannot be built without doing so, as these could possibly conflict with variables used in makepkg itself. If a new variable is absolutely required, prefix the variable name with an underscore" But... Using these common variables is a lot easier (and more elegant) especially if it comes to maintaining a PKGBUILD over the time. I'd vote for changing the wiki to a less harsh standard by allowing _any_ variable prefixed with an underscore. Sadly not even the AUR webinterface pays attention to variables right now. By using a source like _majorver=(`echo $pkgver | egrep -o '[0-9]+\.[0-9]*+'`) source=(http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/$_pkgbasename/$_majorver/$_pkgbasenam...) the source link on the AUR page of the Pakage breaks... Any comments/advices on that? Harvey -- Linux is like a wigwam: No Gates, no Windows and an Apache inside
