Looks like coreutils-9.7 has been patched by another author, which hasn't been upstreamed to upstream URL as listed. In addition to that,

  • SPDX licensing appears to be GPL-3.0-or-later, I'm not a lawyer but the original COPYING that could be found on Internet Archive lacks the standard license headers which could have made identification between GPL-3.0-only or GPL-3.0-or-later easier. Because of this, and copy pasting the two licenses on SPDX website, without standard license headers, running diff -u on them, indicated a space in-between the link as the only change. The copy that is mirrored on Internet Archive neither lacks the space character, nor has the links in HTTPS.

  • there are plenty of binaries that shouldn't be built, as eugene pointed out. I have since included more binaries that shouldn't be compiled, but there's two pre-computed binaries that aren't needed for packaging in the end, and that adding them to --enable-no-install-program didn't have any effect.

As per Arch's wiki on AUR, I've e-mailed you the changes that addresses all that, and allows multiple patches to be included, as per Arch's coreutils PKGBUILD with slight modifications to not use stream redirect, and to just use --input for feeding diff/patches instead. Please refer to my e-mail for a full disclosure.

Please add following argument to configure to not build unnecessary stuff (remove spaces I had to put into it so message can be shown in full here):

Core util package says tiemout

Problems with the public key. For the maintainer and/or submitter info, as I assume that at this point we all know how to solve this...

Can't believe you guys staged a coup on my package

I have no idea what caused it but the problem were file permissions: 750 instead of 755 (default) on several sub-directories of /usr/share/perl5/. After fixing this, it works as expected now. Thank you.

I have the actual perl version. Look here

And for me the build working. Look here

calamity commented on 2022-05-02 09:47 (UTC) (edited on 2022-05-02 09:52 (UTC) by calamity)

I get an error multiple times (on different man files) which makes the build fail:

  GEN      man/stty.1
Can't locate Exporter/Heavy.pm:   /usr/share/perl5/site_perl/Exporter/Heavy.pm: Permission denied at /usr/share/perl5/core_perl/Exporter.pm line 13.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./man/help2man line 26.
make[2]: *** [Makefile:18449: man/chroot.1] Error 13

I also get a warning during the checking phase:

checking for perl5.005 or newer... no
configure: WARNING:
WARNING: You don't seem to have perl5.005 or newer installed, or you lack
         a usable version of the Perl File::Compare module.  As a result,
         you may be unable to run a few tests or to regenerate certain
         files if you modify the sources from which they are derived.

This is odd since I have perl version 5.34.1-1 installed.

The file Heavy.pm is actually located at /usr/share/perl5/core_perl/Exporter/Heavy.pm . So it looks like an upstream or packaging problem to me. I mean, I could symlink from the missing to the correct file but that wouldn't really solve the root cause. Any ideas?

Thanks

This patch has a serious problem when the file/s to be moved is very large. It gets "stuck" calculating the size of the file/s to be moved.

Please change upstream URL: https://github.com/jarun/advcpmv
