As before, an update for 10.5.1 is in need:

Tested this, with success:

@jadoublet Don't comment each time the link expires, just report the package as out of date. It's not useful to create a fork, I just have to bump the package it's trivial. It's not useful either that get_nessus_link.py generates ab2sum as updpkgsums updates it automatically.

@noraj, I don't have access to contribute to your repo but I cloned your repo and made some changes that you can review here. This includes updates to not only PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO but also to get_nessus_link.py that also prints out b2sum of the new agent file that can be used in PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO.

Hi Noraj,

Thx, post_install() is working with yay. Guess removing the symlink should be added to:

I will try to fix the original problem at upstream. No promise ;-)

Thx and rgds, SJ

Fixed the symlink, moved it to the post_install()

the-sj commented on 2022-12-05 15:27 (UTC)

Hi Noraj,

So, I think it has something to do with the context package() is running in. All write operations run inside $pkgdir. Only the symlink action is absolute. Not sure, but as far as I remeber there is an other option for doing "post-install" actions. Creating the symlink can not be part of the "package()" build thing, imho. What do you think @noraj?, Rgds, SJ

the-sj commented on 2022-12-05 15:22 (UTC)

Hi noraj,

yay f.e. can not create the symlink, if there is no sudo, since you do not run yay as root. But I am wondering, why the rest is still working w/o sudo...

noraj commented on 2022-11-30 20:34 (UTC)

Hi the-sj,

it seems you only added sudo to the script? Why would that be needed? makepkg or any helper already ask you for privilege elevation.
