From: Luke Shumaker <lukeshu@parabola.nu> The error messages that makepkg prints when encountering a bad epoch/pkgver/pkgrel are often somewhat misleading. These patchset tries to improve that. The behavior is intended to be unchanged, other than what the messages say. Luke Shumaker (3): makepkg: Better error messages for versions in (check,make,opt)depends/provides/conflicts makepkg: check_pkgrel: Don't say "decimal" in the error message makepkg: check_pkgver: Report what the bad pkgver is scripts/Makefile.am | 1 + .../lint_pkgbuild/checkdepends.sh.in | 10 ++-- .../lint_pkgbuild/conflicts.sh.in | 10 ++-- .../lint_pkgbuild/depends.sh.in | 14 ++--- .../lint_pkgbuild/epoch.sh.in | 10 +++- .../lint_pkgbuild/fullpkgver.sh.in | 54 +++++++++++++++++++ .../lint_pkgbuild/makedepends.sh.in | 10 ++-- .../lint_pkgbuild/optdepends.sh.in | 10 ++-- .../lint_pkgbuild/pkgrel.sh.in | 20 +++++-- .../lint_pkgbuild/pkgver.sh.in | 2 +- .../lint_pkgbuild/provides.sh.in | 10 ++-- 11 files changed, 107 insertions(+), 44 deletions(-) create mode 100644 scripts/libmakepkg/lint_pkgbuild/fullpkgver.sh.in -- Happy hacking, ~ Luke Shumaker 2.18.0
