This PKGBUILD verifies the authenticity of the source via PGP signatures which are not part of the Arch Linux keyring. In order to complete the process it is necessary to import the key(s) from the ‘validpgpkeys’ array into the user’s keyring before calling makepkg. There is a helpful article explaining this process by one of Arch Linux's developers located here: http://allanmcrae.com/2015/01/two-pgp-keyrings-for-package-management-in-arch-linux/

Instructions on importing keys from a keyserver and how to automate the retrieval process can be found in the Arch Linux wiki here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG#Use_a_keyserver This article also contains helpful information describing the installation of GnuPG, its configuration and usage.

Execute the following to import keys using gpg:

gpg --recv-keys <KEYID - See 'validpgpkeys' array in PKGBUILD>

The PGP signature check can be skipped by passing --skippgpcheck to makepkg.

Consult the makepkg manual page for a full list of options. [https://www.archlinux.org/pacman/makepkg.8.html]

Raansu, this is fine then – ncurses5-compat-libs provides only libraries needed by such programs or packages. Adding 'provides=("ncurses=$pkgver")' would create some confusion though and probably lead to broken systems.

Raansu commented on 2015-11-07 19:38 (UTC)

@Barthalion I was just hoping to get support for precompiled programs that required the version 5 over version 6. I probably could recompile them if that is a better option.

Barthalion commented on 2015-11-07 19:09 (UTC)

Not really. It provides different ABI and doesn't ship development headers. What is the use case of it?

Raansu commented on 2015-11-07 02:03 (UTC)

Maybe I'm wrong but shouldn't this also be edited so it 'provides' ncurses?

Sorry for falsely flaggin the package

I had to add "$pkgdir"/lib to the rm line under package() in order to prevent it from conflicting with ncurses.

# worked for me: $ gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 702353E0F7E48EDB

I had problem with key, it seems on pgp.mit.edu is not present. I found the key on https://keyserver.pgp.com/

Barthalion commented on 2015-10-13 16:37 (UTC)

hav3lock, I think pkgver and pkgdesc say quite clearly what it is: ncurses 6 built to provide ABI 5.

hav3lock commented on 2015-10-13 02:22 (UTC)

Is this really version 5 or version 6?
