[arch-projects] [PATCH] [namcap] Treat all non-tar files as PKGBUILD files, regardless of filename
From: Luke Shumaker lukeshu@parabola.nu
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/57193
If the user mistakenly passes in some other (non-package, non-PKGBUILD) file, instead of refusing to process it (saying "Error: Cannot process ${filename}"), it will now try to parse it as a PKGBUILD, probably encounter and print at least one error, but finally say "Error: ${filename} is not a valid PKGBUILD". This is actually probably *more* helpful to a confused user who passed in the wrong file. --- namcap.py | 4 +--- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 3 deletions(-)

Yes, it does. It's already the case that running namcap on those install files and other assets is an error.
Though, this will make those errors much more... verbose.
For example, running `namcap *` in pacman's package directory currently looks like:
$ namcap * PKGBUILD (pacman) W: Reference to i686 should be changed to $CARCH PKGBUILD (pacman) W: Reference to x86_64 should be changed to $CARCH PKGBUILD (pacman) W: Reference to i686 should be changed to $CARCH PKGBUILD (pacman) W: Reference to i686 should be changed to $CARCH PKGBUILD (pacman) W: Reference to i686 should be changed to $CARCH PKGBUILD (pacman) W: Reference to i686 should be changed to $CARCH PKGBUILD (pacman) W: Reference to x86_64 should be changed to $CARCH PKGBUILD (pacman) W: Reference to x86_64 should be changed to $CARCH PKGBUILD (pacman) W: Reference to x86_64 should be changed to $CARCH Error: Cannot process makepkg.conf Error: Cannot process pacman.conf.i686 Error: Cannot process pacman.conf.x86_64
But this patch changes that to:
$ namcap * PKGBUILD (pacman) W: Reference to i686 should be changed to $CARCH PKGBUILD (pacman) W: Reference to x86_64 should be changed to $CARCH PKGBUILD (pacman) W: Reference to i686 should be changed to $CARCH PKGBUILD (pacman) W: Reference to i686 should be changed to $CARCH PKGBUILD (pacman) W: Reference to i686 should be changed to $CARCH PKGBUILD (pacman) W: Reference to i686 should be changed to $CARCH PKGBUILD (pacman) W: Reference to x86_64 should be changed to $CARCH PKGBUILD (pacman) W: Reference to x86_64 should be changed to $CARCH PKGBUILD (pacman) W: Reference to x86_64 should be changed to $CARCH Error: error: invalid package file Error: makepkg.conf is not a valid PKGBUILD Error: error: invalid package file Error: pacman.conf.i686: line 9: [options]: command not found pacman.conf.i686: line 18: HoldPkg: command not found pacman.conf.i686: line 23: Architecture: command not found pacman.conf.i686: line 36: CheckSpace: command not found pacman.conf.i686: line 41: SigLevel: command not found pacman.conf.i686: line 42: LocalFileSigLevel: command not found pacman.conf.i686: line 75: [core]: command not found pacman.conf.i686: line 76: Include: command not found pacman.conf.i686: line 78: [extra]: command not found pacman.conf.i686: line 79: Include: command not found pacman.conf.i686: line 84: [community]: command not found pacman.conf.i686: line 85: Include: command not found Error: pacman.conf.i686 is not a valid PKGBUILD Error: error: invalid package file Error: pacman.conf.x86_64: line 9: [options]: command not found pacman.conf.x86_64: line 18: HoldPkg: command not found pacman.conf.x86_64: line 23: Architecture: command not found pacman.conf.x86_64: line 36: CheckSpace: command not found pacman.conf.x86_64: line 41: SigLevel: command not found pacman.conf.x86_64: line 42: LocalFileSigLevel: command not found pacman.conf.x86_64: line 75: [core]: command not found pacman.conf.x86_64: line 76: Include: command not found pacman.conf.x86_64: line 78: [extra]: command not found pacman.conf.x86_64: line 79: Include: command not found pacman.conf.x86_64: line 84: [community]: command not found pacman.conf.x86_64: line 85: Include: command not found Error: pacman.conf.x86_64 is not a valid PKGBUILD
There is a possible safety concern. namcap will call `parsepkgbuild` on the file, which does evaluate the file as a bash script; it is conceivable that it this could accidentally do something bad, depending on what the file is. However, I don't believe this to be a legitimate concern because of the rbash restricted environment that it is executed in.
