Arch Linux User Repository

@FabioLotix,

this pkgbuild need conflicts=(clatexmath)

it already provides=("clatexmath"), and to my knowledge that should be enough.

the program license need to be installed in "${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}/"

I'll fix the license :)

The license inside the pkgbuild in completely not needed as pkgbuild are generic enough to be not worth of a license

IANAL, but I'm quite sure that this is not true. I think one can call rpm specfiles and pacman PKGBUILDs basically the same thing for different package managers. And on openSUSE, all specfiles must have a license header attached, "For legal reasons" (https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Specfile_guidelines#Specfile_Licensing), which implies that they are very much copyrightable. On fedora one doesn't need to this, because there you actually have to sign (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Fedora_Project_Contributor_Agreement) that license anything you contribute without an explicit free license attached under MIT / CC BY-SA.

Arch Linux for s390x is new to me

yeah, I just put all arches where I know clatexmath will compile successfuly (basically it only doesn't on riscv64), in case AL will be ported to s390x at some point in the future so then they/I don't have to fix the pkgbuild when makepkg refuses to run. It's mostly an issue of AL not having something like debians/dpkgs Multi-Arch key to differentiate between any with architecture dependet code and without.

Hello,

• this pkgbuild need conflicts=(clatexmath)
• the program license need to be installed in "${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}/"

@malacology, pkgconfig is part of base-devel. You may only build AUR packages if you have base-devel installed.

cmake is not needed, as all dependencies are searched via pkgconfig.

fontconfig should be installed as a dependency of gtkmm (-> gtk3 -> cairo -> fontconfig)

Building clatexmath in a clean OCI container and on OBS was never an issue, so I'm left wondering how you ended up with such a system?

it should add pkgconfig, cmake and fontconfig into it

Minor changes:

• The built package contains binaries in a platform-dependent format (ELF), therefore arch is not any.
• The makedepends have to include git for obvious reasons.
