Hi, I've tried uploading to the aur (via web) but got an error: Error - source tarball may not contain nested subdirectories.
aurploader just returns with an unspecified error.
I've looked at the source package and everything looks ok. I've tried an older source package uploaded long time ago and got the same error.
If you create your tarballs using 'makepkg -S', you shouldn't run into such problems.
It's being reported on the bbs, too, including with a tarball made withmakepkg -S. I just tried it myself with a very simple PKGBUILD-onlypackage and makepkg -S, won't let me upload with the same error.Seems to be an AUR bug.
