Hi again!

I can confirm. source=() builds the tarball URL from ${url} (dosbox-staging.org), which doesn't host the binaries and 404s. There's an unused _ghurl variable already defined for GitHub and swapping it in fixes the download:

"${pkgname%-bin}-${pkgver}.tar.xz::${_ghurl}/releases/download/v${pkgver}/${pkgname%-bin}-linux-${CARCH}-v${pkgver}.tar.xz"

Is that what you wanted?

Anyway, thanks a ton for maintaining the package!

The "source" link is not good

0.83.0-1 fails to build - upstream tarball structure has changed

Two mismatches between the PKGBUILD and the 0.83.0 release tarball:

  1. prepare() (line 37) looks for desktop/org.dosbox-staging.dosbox-staging.desktop, but upstream renamed the app ID to use underscores in 0.83.0: org.dosbox_staging.dosbox_staging.desktop.
  2. package() (line 44) installs doc/manual.txt, which no longer exists in the 0.83.0 tarball (doc/ now only contains licenses/).

@elitedev https://github.com/dosbox-staging/dosbox-staging/releases/tag/0.83.0-RC1 was a test built, not stable version !!!

Fails to launch things properly, instead always mounting C: at what appears to be dosbox' build dir. Building the non-bin version fixes it.

conflict with /usr/share/man/man1/dosbox.1.gz

@hannu It conflicts with the man page of dosbox. So one can't install dosbox and this package side by side.

You can only install this package and it provides "dosbox", but it doesn't set a command alias for it. So programs searching for dosbox (like dbgl) can't find it.

hannu commented on 2024-02-14 07:48 (UTC)

The binary this package installs is called dosbox-staging. Does the package still really conflict with dosbox?
