@emk2203 Thanks for catching this!

After the compile, the install errors out with:

==> Starting check()...
make: *** No rule to make target 'check'.  Stop.
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in check().
    Aborting...
error: failed to build 'bc-gh-7.1.0-1': 
error: packages failed to build: bc-gh-7.1.0-1

FIX: Change the check function in the PKGBUILD:

`check() {
  cd "bc-$pkgver"

  env LANG=C LC_ALL=C make check
}

to 

check() {
  cd "bc-$pkgver"

  env LANG=C LC_ALL=C make test
}

@n1x

@kseistrup is correct. We're using the GitHub links for now, and the reason is that Gitea download links are broken. Other people depend on my GitHub one as well. Despite what I would like, at least for bc, git.yzena.com is treated by everyone else as more of a backup, so the AUR might as well do the same.

@n1x

This is all in accordance with the agreement that I have with Gavin, the author.

A little reminder about the upstream repo move as per this commit, although release tarballs are still mirrored to GitHub.com, they are also published here.

Thanks for the update. However, the latest configure.sh doesn't seem to recognize the -P option:

==> Starting build()...
Illegal option -P
