http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/3289 is the ftp status bug, I took the idea from the patch that was sitting there and updated it a bit and made it work for this version of makepkg. No promises that the patch applies smoothly, I have a lot of local changes to my makepkg... -Dan P.S. Aaron, when you apply these, you can take my comments out with my name, I don't really need or want the credit for each little change. I'm fine with just being an additional author in the authors list. I just figured I would at least put a comment in referencing the bug it fixed for clarity now and this can be cleaned up later. =================================================================== RCS file: /home/cvs-pacman/pacman-lib/scripts/makepkg,v retrieving revision 1.19 diff -u -r1.19 makepkg --- makepkg 14 Dec 2006 05:23:08 -0000 1.19 +++ makepkg 18 Dec 2006 06:40:11 -0000 @@ -568,7 +576,10 @@ fi msg " Downloading $file" $FTPAGENT "$netfile" 2>&1 - if [ ! -f "$file" ]; then - error "Failed to download $file" + # fix flyspray bug #3289 - Dan McGee <dpmcgee@gmail.com> + ftpret=$? + if [ $ftpret -gt 0 ]; then + error "Failure while downloading $file" msg "Aborting..." + rm "$file" exit 1
