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;

$ 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.

you can always try to manually extract the file, combined with a proper -C and --xform parameter of tar. best regards,

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.

See, its not hard to read them eventought they are straight under each others. And saves a lot of key stokes if you edit that in console :D

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 wrote:
