Attachments do not work on this list, but the error message is quite clear. Does your PKGBUILD have a build() function?

The error message is simple, but the meaning is not that straightforward: AUR can miss the build function when makepkg has no problem, e.g. in case of a bug in bash-type variable replacements.... I'm not saying that it is the case for this PKGBUILD, but wouldn't be the first bug like this, as much as I remember. Do .gz attachments work on this list? If they do, please attach the compressed faulty PKGBUILD. Cheers, Greg

Add a maintainer tag (although I have seen plenty of scripts without). Still, the parsing is different from makepkg/namcap so it might be having trouble with the bash conditionals. I may be short-sighted but that's no excuse why I can't spot anything else. -- GPG/PGP ID: B42DDCAD

http://pastebin.com/m2d0bd65d Just a guess - what about missing backslashes at the end of the line in the source array (lines 28 to 30)?

You don't need backslashes at the end of lines inside an array declaration.

This is rather a bug in the AUR "pkgsubmit.php" script. In each line, everything follwing a pound sign ("#") is stripped since it is considered to be a comment. As every line of the "backup" array contains a pound sign, the closing bracket of the "backup" array is actually never reached. I opened a ticket concerning this issue: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/17328 Best regards, Lukas Fleischer

oh right. I reverted back to old version for that block and pkgsubmit accepted it. -- O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org

Ok, this is a longshot, but its worth a try. The pkgbuild that you pasted has DOS-style line terminators. You know, CRLF? That may well be an artifact of the pastebin service. If you did have them in the original file, remove them. For whatever reason, bash behaves atrociously when sourcing a file with DOS-style line endings, though it gives no complaint when they are replaced with Unix-style line-endings. Like I said, it's a longshot... -- Chris

no, the crlf probably because I pasted it using windows pc. The actual pkgbuild is unix-style. -- O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org

Another longshot: Change: build() { to build() {
