[aur-general] makepkg 3.2.1 testing
Hello, while pacman 3.2.0 release was quite good, makepkg one was a bit worse. I think the main cause is the lack of testing. I personally always use the devel versions of pacman and makepkg, but I use pacman daily, while I only use makepkg very irregularly. Anyway, the 3.2.1 release is close now, and all known makepkg bugs were fixed : - fix download functions with weird URLs (FS#11076) - fix creation of source package with local files (FS#11149) - fix error when sourcing profile scripts (FS#11179) - perform case-insensitive checksum comparison (FS#11283) For FS#11292 (handling multiple source files which have the same name), a new feature had to be introduced. it is now possible to use the filename of your choice for remote sources, like this : source=('filename::http://path/to/file') This allows to handle multiple source files with same name, and also to handle more nicely weird URLs like http://www.vim.org/scripts/download_script.php?src_id=6992. So if some of the intensive makepkg users could just grab this pre 3.2.1 release and simply check everything is still fine with their PKGBUILDs, or more specifically check that all the bugs mentioned here are fixed, or that the new filename feature correctly, that would be great. Simply gunzip the attached file, and either run it directly from where you extracted it, or put it somewhere in your path.

One important point Dan just made : "speak up if you tested and things are working" Because that is very useful for us, thanks!

I can confirm that this bug is fixed, at least for the case when an '?' is in the url.
- fix creation of source package with local files (FS#11149) - fix error when sourcing profile scripts (FS#11179) - perform case-insensitive checksum comparison (FS#11283)
the case-insensitive checksum comparison is fixed also.
For FS#11292 (handling multiple source files which have the same name), a new feature had to be introduced. it is now possible to use the filename of your choice for remote sources, like this : source=('filename::http://path/to/file') This allows to handle multiple source files with same name, and also to handle more nicely weird URLs like http://www.vim.org/scripts/download_script.php?src_id=6992.

Good day Xavier,
I found an old version string :
! 39: myver='3.2.0'
40: confdir='/etc'

Good day Xavier,

That is right, the correct version will only be there in the real 3.2.1 release.

I've tried the above feature with a modified version of my eclipse-subversive-svn-connector package (attached).

The content of my source directory after that: $ ls -l $srcdir feature.jar -> $SRCDEST/feature.jar plugin.jar -> $SRCDEST/plugin.jar If I then take a look at my local makepkg source cache...: $ ls $SRCDEST org.polarion.eclipse.team.svn.connector_2.0.3.I20080814-1500.jar Therefore makepkg -g cannot find feature.jar or plugin.jar and so it still cannot distinguish between the two source files. Hope the info helps!

I used the PKGBUILD you attached and it worked fine. I also tested with and without SRCDEST set in case that somehow caused it.

What is really strange here is that makepkg isn't even saving the file to <name>.part. I don't understand this. Allan

pacman / makepkg 3.2.1 is in core now, so let's hope it received sufficient testing :)
