[aur-general] Problems with PKGBUILD (Also, request for package deletion)

Hi, I created a new PKGBUILD called easy-e17, which basically is a wrapper for installing and using the easy-e17 script. Problem is, I forgot to change the maintainer stuff at the top of the script, and when I try to edit it, even changing the pkgrel value doesn't work. I can't get the PKGBUILD on the site to change (I used another package's PKGBUILD to make mine). Can anyone help? Also, I am requesting the make-e17 script be removed. It does basically the same thing as my script, but hasn't worked in a year and has been flagged out of date for a while. Thanks, Smartboy

Are you sure it's not just your browser's cache showing you the older version? I'm currently seeing easy-e17 1.2.2-3.

I can't find any packages named "make-e17". Unless another TU has deleted it already, could you post a link to the package you want removed?

You're right, sorry. [?]

It is make_e17, not make-e17, sorry. :-\ Smartboy

I don't mind too much, but I don't really see the use of the script. IMO it would be much better to have a script around which uses the ABS PKGBUILDs and alternatively some AUR ones which are not in [community]. I have one laying around which builds the community package, and there is one other on the forums IIRC. With a bit of work we could create a much more usefull arch e17 script. These are just some thoughts so do with it whatever you want :P Ronald

I created the script on the forum which tries to get it from SVN using the PKGBUILDs you made, but there were too many problems with it. One was that, since there really is no "easy" way besides using yaourt-git to get community PKGBUILDs, and yaourt-git has many bugs with the -G function (like, when I try to get eina-svn, it gets eina instead). I tried fixing this, but I would have to have people download PKGBUILDs from my post, which is not what a script should require.

You can let the script depend on ABS. If people have a full ABS checkout they have all PKGBUILDs required. In the script you could call abs via sudo, I don't think that should be too much of a problem. Ronald
