Hello, I'm trying to submit the web browser Iceweasel to aur, but I'm having a problem with the md5sum. I wrote the PKGBUILD, used makepkg -g to generate the md5sum and put the output into the PKGBUILD. I made the soruce package with makepkg --source and there was no problem, and doing just makepkg to build the whole package, it is possible to install iceweasel from that package without problems, etc. the only problem is that, when downloading and installing from aur, it gives an error on the integrity check. Could anyone explain me why does it happens? my PKGBUILD it's this one: http://pastebin.com/xZawmpUP Thanks in advance ;)

You are using arrays for many fields which shouldn't be arrays like: pkgname, pkgver, pkgrel. You should also quote the source URL.

The md5sums in the pastebin is different from the AUR. Correct one is in the pastebin. That's the answer for your issue, but +1 to the comments made by others. Rafael

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks to all of you, those are my first packages as you should know and I'm using the proto of /usr/share/pacman to make the pkgbuild, so I'm using those arrays I think I can use for any package, but I didn't know that () will confuse makepkg (so sensitive...), I'll try to correct it. The md5sums in the pastebin is different because it has been changing between two different outputs anytime I did makepkg -g, but even now that it is not changing, and the makepkg -g output is ever the same, it stills not accepting it. Jesse, I'll try then to use that PKGBUILD, I looked for it, because I suposed it should exist, but as I didn't find it, I downloaded the package and modified the .PKGINFO file. Thanks for your help with that PKGBUILD. I know archlinux is a non libre system, and that's not bad at all because, for example, flash it's very usefull nowadays, because gnash has a lot of things to improve to be a serious subtitute, but, ever I can, I try to use free software (if it has not great problems, like gnash taking my earlier example), and Iceweasel with iceweasel-sync it's as good and fast as firefox, so... I liked it and thought about submitting it :)

What? The source is the same, stored on a server, therefore its md5sum WILL NOT change everytime you run 'makepkg -g' unless you are running 'makepkg -g' for different sources or your source is corrupted. In the last case, remove and download again the source. $ md5sum iceweasel-libre-12.0.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz 638379a2dcf1f3d116cf92a06c8ee9b9 iceweasel-libre-12.0.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz Rafael

Jaja yeah I though the same, but sometimes it gaves that md5sum and another times it gaves a different checksum, finished on 6o6 I think (i don't remember the exactly output)

Just in case, a diferent arch will result in a different package and therefore a different checksum. Is there any reason you've made this package amd64 only? -- Hugo Osvaldo Barrera

+1 to this solution, as AUR web interface parse it perfectly according to my architecture, showing the correct depends - which does not happen with source=(foobar) [ "$CARCH" == "i686" ] && source=(lib32-foobar) Rafael

source=(foobar) [ "$CARCH" == "i686" ] && source=(lib32-foobar)

ops, it seems I #fail. The correct would be: source=(foobar) [ "$CARCH" == "x86_64" ] && source=(lib32-foobar)

New subject: [aur-general] About linux-mainline 3.4rc6-1 and hibernating problem

...

From https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50893 linux-mainline 3.4rc6-1

Do you guys have any problem with hibernating? my computer cannot boot after running pm-hibernate :L The only solution for this is to unplug the power source wait a few seconds and the plug again the power source cable. After this, when you boot the computer there is a warning message from the bios about incorrect setting of the cpu frequency. Then I am prompted to the bios configuration screen but all settings look ok. After restart the computer boots normally and resume successfully from hibernating. Please mention any lofg file I can attach so we can find the cause of this problem.

actually, bash syntax is something to be really careful with if one isn't too familiar with it. [1] gives you some funny examples about it, I also recommend to read [2] - it's a great read and will help you greatly to get work done in the shell cli without having to rely on GUIs all the time. Also, this: martti@deepthought:~$ e=(abc) martti@deepthought:~$ echo $e abc In our case there is another possible source of errors, which is makepkg, and if it would actually break on something it may be considered a bug in some, but it might simply turn out to be a non-trivial edge case in other cases. I'd actually find it interesting to figure out more of this just to see if I can break it... :)

Something odd may be going on with your hardware or os. Not sure where, but if memtest doesn't find errors, consider checking your disk with smartmontools and try rkhunter, just in case. md5 is supposed to be an empirical checksum, not a dice roll.

Jesse, I'll try then to use that PKGBUILD, I looked for it, because I suposed it should exist, but as I didn't find it, I downloaded the package and modified the .PKGINFO file.

just fyi, the mozilla license is listed as being less restrictive than gnu gpl. [3] cheers! mar77i [1] http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashParser [2] http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide [3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_free_and_open_source_software_lic...
