Now you cannot randomly rename PKGBUILD files and use them with namcap.

 

I have filed a bug here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/57193

I created a patch for my needs:

 

diff --git a/namcap.py b/namcap.py

index b62a2fa..aae20c7 100755

--- a/namcap.py

+++ b/namcap.py

@@ -248,7 +248,7 @@ for package in packages:

 

         if os.path.isfile(package) and tarfile.is_tarfile(package):

                 process_realpackage(package, active_modules)

- elif package.endswith('PKGBUILD'):

+ elif package.startswith('PKGBUILD'):

                 process_pkgbuild(package, active_modules)

         else:

                 print("Error: Cannot process %s" % package)

 

But I think it is better to just assume than all non-tar files are pkgbuilds and should be processed accordingly.
