[aur-general] PKGBUILD with depending _pkgver
Hi all, recently, I wrote an ebuild where pkgver=2.4.2 but in the download link a 242 is needed. Thus, I decided to avoid any redundancy and to write _pkgver="${pkgver//\./}". The PKGBUILD is working fine but aur.archlinux.org is expanding the download link to "2.4.2//\./}". Is there a way to avoid both the redundancy and the wrong interpretation at aur.archlinux.org? This is the package we are talking about: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34230 Kind regards, Max
As far as I know, you'll have to write the package version twice. The AUR reads the PKGBUILD's directly, not with bash (security concerns). Right now, the AUR only supports variables with the name only (i.e. $blah or ${blah}). Regards, Xiao-Long Chen

Hi all,
recently, I wrote an ebuild where pkgver=2.4.2 but in the download link a 242 is needed. Thus, I decided to avoid any redundancy and to write _pkgver="${pkgver//\./}". The PKGBUILD is working fine but aur.archlinux.org is expanding the download link to "2.4.2//\./}".
Is there a way to avoid both the redundancy and the wrong interpretation at aur.archlinux.org?

suggestion: use the parameter expansion in the source url only? source=("http://my.domain.org/my/package-${pkgver//\./}.tar.gz") ...or would this be too obvious? saves you ... a line of code. :) cheers! mar77i

This will display a weird source URL line in AUR interface, and that's what the author of the thread want's to avoid. Therefore, not that obvious. Rafael

in the end, it's the aur's problem, not the packager's. cheers! mar77i

Sort of. If the maintainer knows this issue, he/she can avoid it. So, IMO, the problem is the maintainer's, in the end. Of course this is not a big issue, but if i can choose to solve this issue with one more line in the PKGBUILD, I prefer to do it than mess the displayed source url. Rafael
