[aur-general] package version with hyphen

29 Mar 2010

      Hi,

I've just noticed pkgver is not interpreted when uploading to AUR.

I am packaging a program versionned "1.0-beta" and I learned hypens are 
forbidden in pkgver: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD

I first tried this:

_pkgver=1.0-beta
pkgver=${pkgver/-/_}

But it was displayed as something like "pkgver/-/_}".

So I had to double the declaration:

pkgver=1.0-beta
pkgver=1.0_beta

The wiki doesn't give tips for cases like this. What would be your 
advice for not repeating myself?

Thanks,
