Hi,

I was reading the online HTML man page, and noticed a doc bug.

Here's the relevant section, verbatim, except I put **** around the bug:

===== Using VCS Sources

Building a developmental version of a package using sources from a version control system (VCS) is enabled by specifying the source in the form source=('folder::url#fragment'). Currently makepkg supports the bzr, git, hg and svn protocols.

The source URL is divided into three components:

folder

(optional) Specifies an alternate folder name for makepkg to download the VCS source into. url

The url to the VCS repo. This must include ****the the**** vcs in the URL protocol for makepkg to recognize this as a VCS source. If the protocol does not include the VCS name, it can be added by prefixing the URL with vcs+. For example, using a git repository over http would have a source URL in the form git+http://.... =====

A double 'the' is present.

Thanks, Eric

Why not check the actual man page? Or at least the Git repo? This was fixed nearly 2 years ago. Don't trust the information you're seeing on that web site. Doug
