Arch Linux User Repository

Seems that way. For anyone interested - I've opened an issue upstream.

Given that makepkg does the right thing, to be honest, I'd consider that a makechrootpkg bug -- somewhere, stdout and stderr are being conflated, and it's almost a miracle that this is the only negative effect...

Hey! Thanks for the quick fix!

Just in case this is useful: The package now correctly builds with makepkg, but an extra-x86_64-build / makechrootpkg in a clean chroot still fails with:

==> Retrieving sources...

==> ERROR: Build failed, check /var/lib/archbuild/extra-x86_64/redacted/build

In the clean chroot git describe --long prints that warning on stdout, so it becomes part of the pkgver() output and makepkg rejects it. In upstream this seems to come from a tag/metadata inconsistency involving the remove and v1.04.00 tags, which makes newer Git print that warning. Redirecting git stderr to /dev/null still fixes the issue.

Everything else works perfectly.

Hiya, thanks for your report! I don't actively monitor the build status of this package, but I do update it when an issue is reported.

1. Added git to makedepends.

2. pkgver: Added stripping leading v from package version as used in upstream's git tags. The warning output by git describe is a side effect of a different issue which does not adversely affect the build process.

3. Upstream has received PR 396 to fix CMake >= 4.0.0 no longer accepting setting policy to CMP0004, so I added those changes as a patch to this AUR package.

Not sure if this is still maintained, but git is missing from makedepends.

Also, pkgver fails, because of a git warning:

==> ERROR: pkgver is not allowed to contain colons, forward slashes, hyphens or whitespace.
==> ERROR: pkgver() generated an invalid version: warning: tag 'remove' is externally known as 'v1.04.00'

Finally, cmake complains about cmake_policy(SET CMP0004 OLD).

This patch seems to work for me:

Replaced jack-audio-connection-kit with jack, thanks!

jack-audio-connection-kit no longer exists

Package updated to use the CMake build system (since autotools have been removed) and to use system dependencies instead of the Git submodules.
