I scratched an itch and would now like feedback on my first PKGBUILD. I enabled the features I need (which are all basic), plus all those that did not pull in too many additional dependencies and compiled without fuss. I split out syncevo-http-server because it depends on many Python packages, and many users won't need it.
The patch (not included) replaces python by python2, fixes two minor compilation issues, and applies a hack to get it to work with libical2. (Upstream is aware.)
(There are obsolete syncevolution packages in the AUR Archive, but I decided to start from scratch.)
Thanks, Justus

Sounds like it should be at least 3 separate patches.

More missing quotes. Not sure why you're specifying the full path for install, and you could use the -D switch to create the dir, so the preceding mkdir isn't necessary. The -c switch does nothing. I'm assuming you want this to be executable, so adding -m755 would be a good idea as well.

Another thing I noticed here, you don't want to completely override CXXFLAGS. You should add the option to what is already set. I also wouldn't intermix that in with the configure options.

Thanks for the suggestions. I implemented all but the -m755 as that's the default anyway. If there are no more comments I'll upload to AUR.

______________________________________________________ Persian web-based mail | MihanMail.Com
I just uploaded my package to AUR and ran
aursync -c syncevolution-http
As the PKGBUILD specifies, this downloads and builds syncevolution, and creates both the syncevolution and syncevolution-http packages. It indeed makes little sense to upgrade or install syncevolution-http without syncevolution. Also, running
aursync -c syncevolution syncevolution-http
builds syncevolution only once, as I would expect.
However, if you have been running syncevolution and later install syncevolution-http, the syncevolution build is useless. Syncevolution-http does not require syncevolution to be built (if it is already installed) - it just needs to patch and extract a Python script from the source tree. Thus, I could presumably override build() inside package_syncevolution-http() with a no-op.
On the other hand, the impossibility [1] to correspondingly override makedepends suggests that this is not the recommended way to proceed.
So, how should this be resolved:
(a) Leave it as-is, with an installation of syncevolution-http triggering a (needless) build of syncevolution?
(b) Avoid this build by overriding build() (and prepare()), but (inconsistently) not makedepends?
(c) Instead of a split package, package syncevolution-http independently (which would presumably cause a joint install to download the source tarball twice)?
Thanks, Justus
