Arch Linux User Repository

Is the 10 series of releases on the github page a beta build, and did they really change the major version because of Windows 10?

@brettgilio

Hi and thanks for your support and I downloaded it again and it work like a charm!!. Maybe, the error was due to a bad connection or something like that.

@beto

Hi. I am not able to replicate your error on a fresh install. Could you provide some more information?

It launches an error while compiling:

error FS0222: Files in libraries or multiple-file applications must begin with a namespace or module declaration, e.g. 'namespace SomeNamespace.SubNamespace' or 'module SomeNamespace.SomeModule'. Only the last source file of an application may omit such a declaration in sharp/src/fsharp-4.5.0/src/fsharp/FSharp.Compiler.Private/FSharp.Compiler.Private.fsproj

Changes are pushed. You will likely have to update manually.

@brettgilio, NobbZ PKGBUILD changes seem reasonable. I suggest a further change of:

source=("https://github.com/fsharp/fsharp/archive/${pkgver}.tar.gz")

into:

source=("$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz::https://github.com/fsharp/fsharp/archive/$pkgver.tar.gz")

I have to add though, that even users of AUR-helpers need to manually reinstall this package, as most AUR helpers simply will prefer the "newer" 10.x version over the "old" 4.x.

I just went through this, and would propose the following changes:

Because of the pkgver function. It should only be provided when you do dev-builds from a branch, not when you build from a tag or directly from a source tar-ball.

Which brings me to the next, perhaps you should specify <https://github.com/fsharp/fsharp/releases/tag/4.5.0> as source and provide a checksum.

@catalin.hritcu

You are correct, it should be 4.5.0-1. I am aware of this issue of the pkgbuild changing its version identification during the build process. I am not sure why this is happening, or what to do about it.
