Hello,

I'm having trouble sending a new package to AUR. AUR replies "Missing arch variable in PKGBUILD". The PKGBUILD is pasted below; `namcap PKGBUILD` says nothing (i. e. all OK).

Thanks.

Isn't arch variable supposed to be in quotations? "any"

This does not matter. Quoting prevents word splitting and special treatment of characters, and there are no spaces and special characters in the word 'any'.

Again, I'm able to install the package locally and it passes namcap checks both by PKGBUILD and by *.pkg.tar.

This is due to a bug in the AUR PKGBUILD parser. As a workaround, move the arch line before the source line.

The next AUR release will use meta data instead of parsing the PKGBUILD which fixes all parser issues.

Thanks.

It worked. Thank you for the advice.
