[aur-general] creating versioned packages from github
Hey There, I want to package django-grappelli (version: 2.3.5) from github. I know that usually we clone the repository and therefore have the latest commit of the project for VCS PKGBUILD's. However in this case, I want to package the latest stable version. So I wrote; # Maintainer: Alper KANAT <alperkanat@raptiye.org> pkgname=django-grappelli pkgver=2.3.5 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="A jazzy skin for the Django Admin-Interface" url="https://github.com/sehmaschine/django-grappelli" arch=('any') license=('GPL2') makedepends=("git" "python2" "python2-distribute") conflicts=() provides=() source=(https://github.com/sehmaschine/django-grappelli/tarball/2.3.5) md5sums=('36291a468ea10d50b33d782413cd436c') build() { cd ${srcdir} } For test purposes, I tried to build this PKGBUILD. The tarball is downloaded with the name 2.3.5 and successfully extracted into src/ folder but with a commit id (which makes it kind of random): $ ll src/ toplam 4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 tunix users 52 Oca 20 10:59 2.3.5 -> /home/tunix/packages/alps/django-grappelli-git/2.3.5 drwxr-xr-x 4 tunix users 4096 Eki 11 11:07 sehmaschine-django-grappelli-ea9441b So unless I do some bash magic like cd $srcdir/sehmaschine-django-grappelli-*, I won't be able to continue to build this package. What I wonder is if there are convenient ways to: - Download a tarball with a predefined name (in short: rename the output tarball) - Extract to predefined folder that we can specify in PKGBUILD? I read the man pages of PKGBUILD and makepkg and couldn't find such an information. --- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

pkgname=django-grappelli

makedepends=("git" "python2" "python2-distribute")
git is not a make dependency, since you are downloading a tarball python2 should be moved to depends
conflicts=()
provides=()
remove all the empty variables from the PKGBUILD
source=(https://github.com/sehmaschine/django-grappelli/tarball/2.3.5)
make it source=($pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz::https://github.com/sehmaschine/$pkgname/tarball/$pkgver)
md5sums=('36291a468ea10d50b33d782413cd436c')
build() {
cd ${srcdir}
}
For test purposes, I tried to build this PKGBUILD. The tarball is downloaded with the name 2.3.5 and successfully extracted into src/ folder but with a commit id (which makes it kind of random):

that we can specify in PKGBUILD? I read the man pages of PKGBUILD and makepkg and couldn't find such an information.
Downloading with a different name is documented here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#source I don't know of any option to extract to specific folder. Cheers.

you can always try to manually extract the file, combined with a proper -C and --xform parameter of tar. best regards,
In the future please not use so too manu newlines.... If you do, I will confiscate your Enter keys.... Anyway take a look in yle-downloader-gui's PKGBUILD https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51662 Thats how I do it. You can just simply copy the 1st 7 chars of the commit id in the tags menu in github :D Hope it helps
Also, this forum is really helpful: "AUR Issues, Discussion & PKGBUILD Requests" at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewforum.php?id=38 -- Cordially, Alexander Rødseth Arch Linux Trusted User (xyproto on IRC, trontonic on AUR)

I can't understand what you mean? In a mail-list, avoid to use so many newlines. Juste write some paragraphs, and not alone sentences.

I don't know what went wrong but sorry for any inconveniences. Try to write in plain text instead of Rich formatting next time ;) Oh, and also write at the bottom of an e-mail, not at the top.

I guess it's because you're using fancy formatted text, while others (like myself) are using plain text. For some reason google's decided that 1 formatted text linebreak == 3 unformatted text linebreaks. Or something. On 20 January 2012 15:02, Alper Kanat <tunix@raptiye.org> wrote:
