Hi @bigcajun826. You may want to have a look at the BUILDDIR, PKGDEST and SRCDEST options in either /etc/makepkg.conf or ~/.makepkg.conf.
This will let you control where files for all packages, no need for a .gitignore in each package. Does that solve your problem? :)
@delx
Would you mind adding a .gitignore file to the source to ignore artifacts of the build? I believe this would be sufficient:
https://github.com/emerkle826/mythtv/blob/gitingnore/.gitignore
@mark.clegg Ah, I didn't notice that the old package had epoch=1. This just means people will need to manually upgrade one time to switch to the new version. I think I'll leave it like that.
@jfabernathy I plan to modify this package to track fixes/32 after MythTV v32 is released. If you want to keep tracking fixes/31 you'd need to fork this package, or maintain your own copy locally.
That version number looks fine to me. It's generated using git-describe. This shows you the number of commits since the v31 tag, followed by 'g' and then the commit hash.
I "upgraded" by "yay -S mythtv Pacman.log says: [2020-10-30T16:31:08-0400] [ALPM] removed mythtv-git (31+fixes.20201012.eb3c84de-1) [2020-10-30T16:31:08-0400] [ALPM] installed mythtv (31+fixes.20201012.eb3c84de-1) However, when I run mythfrontend and look at information center I see: Mythfrontend version: makepkg (v31.0-118-geb3c84de5f-dirty)
Just "upgraded" - Started with a new clone from AUR, built and installed without issues. Just one observation, when installing, pacman thought I was "downgrading" the existing package, which I'm sure is just because of a syntax difference between the apparent version numbers, and is safe to ignore during this transition.
From pacman.log:
downgraded mythtv (1:31.0-3 -> 31+fixes.20201012.eb3c84de-1)
Since I built my latest mythtv build from mythtv-git to get to a more current build of v31, how do I move over to this mythtv package? My goal is to follow a package that stays on V31 and tracks the latest commits, but not move to v32 ever. To me V32 should be new AUR package.
Hi @RuneArch. Sorry but I don't use any of the MythTV plugins so I don't think I'd be a good maintainer for that package. I'm happy to work with any maintainer to help these packages work well together.
This package now tracks the MythTV fixes/31 branch. There are quite a few upstream bugfixes since the v31 release.
Thanks to Taijian and all the previous maintainers for their efforts.
Whenever a commit is made by MythTV's git upstream you can rebuild this package without waiting for an update. Please don't flag it as out of date just because there's a new commit. Occasionally I'll push updates manually to stop the version from looking too old. I'll also push updates whenever a packaging change is needed for the build to work.
Just to add... are you taking ownership of mythplugins too?
Just chiming in with my support @delx - thanks!

This package replaces the previous 'mythtv' AUR package. It has been renamed to comply with Arch's VCS package guidelines.
I hope to update the various mythplugins AUR packages soon
