[aur-general] AUR split package submission error
Hi, I'm trying to update my package blast+-bin, but I get an "the AUR does not support split packages" error. The package is not split (as in, it does not create two packages) but it uses a hack to use platform-dependent sources and md5sums. Is there any recommendation on how to handle such cases?- I didn't find anything on the wiki. PKGBUILD: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bl/blast+-bin/PKGBUILD cheers Michael

I think it has nothing to do with the hack for source and md5sums, but the array on $pkgname. Try to just use pkgname='blast+-bin' instead? Regards, Felix Yan

You are perfectly right, and this was a stupid mistake on my part :-) Thanks for pointing that out. Michael

The source and md5sum might not be the problem, as it a common thing in AUR. Maybe something related with the 'pkgname'. Can you show the PKGBUILD you tried to upload via paste site (e.g.: pastie.org)?
