Arch Linux User Repository

PSA: I've started hosting this and all its dependencies as prebuilt packages in my repository for those that want to install them using pacman without messing around with building from the AUR.

The tx binary built via this package produces incorrect output. I've opened an issue on the afdko repo. It seems that if you build the project with clang or Debug build with gcc then the output is correct. Would you be open to making either of those changes to the PKGBUILD while the upstream issue is worked on?

It installs at the end but there are some errors along the way:

This seems to be due to CC=clang CXX=clang++ environment variables. The package builds with gcc. If the package requires a specific compiler the PKGBUILD should set CC, CXX to ensure that compiler is used.

@Fulmine and others, upstream keeps changing directions here and I'm somitmes a version behind figuring out what they did. If anybody wants to contribute I'm usually open to patches even PRs toward this or any of my packages here.

I think you're misunderstanding the packaging guidelines. The case you're referring to is for when two packages for the same program (or library or whatever) exist, one for the fixed versions and one for building from VCS. In that case, per guidelines, the VCS package should conflict and provide the base package as it offers the same functionality, but is slightly different.

In the case here, this package has nothing to do with the spot client, and it's not really clear to me why it contains /usr/bin/spot. Plus there's also a 'spot-client' package this one is also in conflict with due to the overlapping filename.

Since 'afdko' is the package going against the convention here — providing a binary with a filename with no connection to the package — I'd put the conflict here, or rather rename the binary if possible, i.e. it's not called from somewhere else.

@EndlessEden That conflict should be added on the VCS package (-git) not this one per Arch packaging guidelines.
