hello list, Sorry if i post on the wrong list. I have several PKGBUILDs that were parsed OK by the AUR website but are not anymore. The error given is 'unknown file format'. I re-read the PKGBUILD rules on the wiki but did not found were was the issue. Attached is a PKGBUILD giving such an error. Thanks for comments. - ben # Contributor: Benoit Rouits pkgname=nall pkgver=0.8 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="a user script-based everything notifier on the systray" arch=('i686' 'x86_64') url="http://herewe.servebeer.com/nall" license=('GPL') depends=('gtk2' 'glib2') optdepends=('nagios-plugins' 'telnet' 'ssh' 'python') makedepends=('make' 'gcc' 'pkgconfig') source=(http://herewe.servebeer.com/nall/releases/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar) build() { cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver" make PREFIX=/usr || return 1 make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" PREFIX=/usr install } md5sums=('d4adbe6815371821b11630cbad16a07f')

maybe you sent the PKGBUILD instead of the tarball? Anyway nall is already on AUR. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30163 -- Andrea `bash` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

uploading single PKGBUILD is deprecated. by sure that you make a tarball with the name pkgname.tar.gz or do makepkg --source. -- Ionut

By the way, is it possible to upload to AUR PKGBUILDs that builds more than one package and where pkgname is an array ? This is supported by makepkg, but I don't know if the AUR interface and aur helpers like yaourt can handle them ? One official example is the mesa PKGBUILD[1] in extra that also produces ati-dri, intel-dri, nouveau-dri, ...

Thanks. Well, it's quite new anyway, so I hope this will be available soon. This feature is really interresting when it comes to provide only a recipe, and let the user compile everything. When it comes to fetch a git branch of the kernel and compile it, it is sooo handy not to do it 3 times !! Cilyan 2009/11/10 Pierre Chapuis :
