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]

Jack_CM, everything in this package is correctly prefixed with /usr. Something else is providing these files on your system. If you didn't do that manually, try with pacman -Qo /path/to/file.

anatolik, and that someone is ncurses maintainer. Jack_CM, thanks for the report – I'll check it on Monday, I have 6% of battery left and I forgot the cable to charge it.

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses/ is the official download website. invisible-island.net is someone's development server.

Excellent!

Barthalion commented on 2015-09-22 22:48 (UTC)

Also I'll be more than happy to add someone to co-maintainers. I'm pretty bad at keeping up with all Arch things lately.

Barthalion commented on 2015-09-22 22:46 (UTC)

About symlinks vs INPUT()… – fixed in -2, I was actually leaving home for small vacations without my laptop and I had no time to fix it before now. anatolik, because I don't have to. Is there anything wrong with current maintainer website?

thestinger commented on 2015-09-22 21:04 (UTC)

Please switch this to using ncurses5-compat-libs. It shouldn't have the versioned dependency and it doesn't need to conflict with the libtinfo package. The non-versioned link just shouldn't be included here.

anatolik commented on 2015-09-22 14:09 (UTC)

BTW why don't you use gnu download server ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses/ ?
