[aur-general] pacman 4.1 (makepkg 4.1) bazaar pkgver autobump problem

[Gary van der Merwe]

Hi all.

I'm the one wrote the Bazaar makepkg support, so any bugs are my fault.

This error has happened before pkgver is reached, and so the problem is 
not with your pkgver function.

I'm busy running makepkg on your PKGBUILD to see if I reproduce the error.

An easier way to do this is by using bzr version-info's built in 
templating:

pkgver() {
    bzr version-info $srcdir/$_bzrmod --custom --template="{revno}\n"
}

(see `bzr help version-info` for a list of fields you can use)

Just a note on why the url you have provided and the url stored in the 
bzr config are different is because launchpad will return a http 
permanent redirect.

My recommendation would be to use the url it redirects to.

However, I agree that this solution is not the greatest. One thing it 
stops you from doing is using bzr's directory service urls (e.g. lp:)
So I look forward to your patch.
