it is sometimes as a recurring problem the "gpg: reception from keyserver failed: Permission denied" and I have tried several times to get out of it but without success. the good thing is that sometimes I see it import keys without problems. it is a difficulty of mine. thx for reply.

@simona have you tried?

# pacman-key --recv-keys 3CE1780F78DD88DF45194FD706BC317B515ACE7C

@alllexx88 the VCS packages have the pkgver function which is used to get the latest version when the rebuilt is done. This implies the users will automatically get the latest version without any need of you bumping the package pkgver.

See also https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository#Flagging_packages_out-of-date

Note: VCS packages are not considered out of date when the pkgver changes; do not flag them as the maintainer will merely unflag the package and ignore you. AUR maintainers should not commit mere pkgver bumps.

@alerque I agree about tests, it makes sense to have them. However, they needed fixing, so I fixed them and the build command, based on Archlinux calibre package. As for man pages, I wasn't "no longer installing" generated man pages: in fact, they weren't being generated at all before I adopted the package -- I only removed the copy command that failed due to man pages not present in the sources. But it makes sense to have them generated, so I added python setup.py man_pages to the build command and python-sphinx to makedepends, and I'm packaging them now.

As for bumping VCS package, can you point me to an Arch wiki page that says this? I haven't been able to find anything on https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VCS_package_guidelines

Also, the auto update bot won't bump a package blindly: it checks for new commits daily, and bumps only if a test build is successful. The reasoning for bumping is to notify users using AUR helpers of an available update.

@allexx88

  • VCS packages do not need "bumping". Please don't do that, and take off the update bot. It's is never appropriate to auto bump a VCS package.

  • Removing the tests is not "fixing" the build.

  • No longer installing the generated man pages is not "fixing" the build.

@alllexx88 probably something on my end, but now it works. Thanks so much.
