As rafasc mentioned, this package is currently not following the package guidelines. Typically, packages without a VCS suffix are built from tagged releases/tarballs or from a specific commit (for example, "rtmpdump"), not from git master. I think the simplest way to solve this issue is to push the repo for this package to "miraclecast-git", add "miraclecast" to the list of package conflicts for "miraclecast-git", and then modify "miraclecast" to build from either a specific commit hash or, preferably, a tagged release/commit. The alternative is to rename this package to "miraclecast-git". It's a more involved process, but it might result in less confusion. To rename this package (preserving votes and comments): 1. In the PKGBUILD: a. Change `pkgname` to "miraclecast-git". b. Add "miraclecast" to `conflicts` and `replaces` (it can be removed from `replaces` once there's an official "miraclecast" package). 2. Regenerate `.SRCINFO`. 3. Commit your changes. 4. Push to `ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/miraclecast-git.git`. 5. Submit a merge request at https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/miraclecast/request/ to merge "miraclecast" into "miraclecast-git".

This package depends on master, how can it be outdated?

I read through https://github.com/rmarquis/pacaur/issues/567 Doesn't make sense to me that pacaur forces me to name my package. I'm trying to create the official package (and pass from AUR to ABS someday in future) so by now it depends on master, but this is the stable one. Yaourt don't force you to follow that convention. @rafasc Do you have any link to official docs that forces that convention?

when installing with pacaur: miraclecast package(s) failed to install. Check .SRCINFO for mismatching data with PKGBUILD. I believe this is due to: Suffix pkgname with -cvs, -svn, -hg, -darcs, -bzr, -git etc. unless the package fetches a specific release https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_package_guidelines

@mirco done

Please add git as a makedepends. As your source is a git repo it won't build without git.

Sry my bad, I found out that the issue was in my GIT configuration I ran: git config --global core.autocrlf input to change clone to use correct line endings and the issue disappeared

d1x commented on 2016-09-09 09:36 (UTC)

autogen.sh has Windows line endings which causes: ./autogen.sh: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory I'm wondering if I'm able to overcome this issue with some local configuration or I will have to update line endings to UNIX-like and build the package manually.
