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

just use pkgver=1.0beta, you can just type the currect version in the source url yourself I suppose.

That would repeat the version in the download URL and when "cd" to the source directory, which is worse.

I prefer having configuration at the top of the PKGBUILD to ease maintenance.

in that case you define _pkgver or something and use it there, though I'm not a big fan of custom variables.

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

If you look at the PKGBUILD manpage, it explicitly says that - is not a legal character in pkgver and to use _ instead.

Is my English so bad or you didn't read my entire message? That's exactly what I did and wrote.

I drop my request before replies get worse.

Thanks anyway.

Hyphens are forbidden, as you have said. Please use an underscore in place of a hyphen (i.e. 1.0_beta in place of 1.0-beta).

WTF? I wrote I already did that you moron. You can tell it 10 times, I don't need a fucking advice about what I ALREADY did, I asked about how to do it better.

If you reply to people without even reading the ENTIRE message, we both lose time.

Sorry for being rude but it had to go out.

And as expected, the next reply was worse.

Note:

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

as displayed here indicates a typo at line 2, which when fixed would look like:

pkgver=${_pkgver/-/_}

A better way to handle that would be to handle that in a simpler way:

pkgver=1.0_beta _pkgver=1.0-beta

That's all there is to it, there isn't anymore.

Yes, I typed from what I recalled but my memory got wrong.

Thanks for sharing your experience.
