Yes, it builds well now.

Regards and thanks for maintanance!

@dreieck, give it a shot now, I also fixed some useless cat's.

Ahoj,

thanks!

Now another issue turned out:

==> Starting prepare()...
cat: ../../oui-0.20.txt: No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().

You should reference it as "${srcdir}/oui-${pkgver}.txt".

Actually, build now succeeds for me (with that fix).

@dreieck, when I updated it I pushed it to my old private repo instead of the AUR repo, sorry about that. That said, I think the oui.txt presents a fairly large reproducibility problem. I'm open to suggestions, maybe I'll look at what the NixOS flake does. If the license allows I could just include the generated oui.h file in the AUR repository.

Build now fails for me with

Regards!

But still downloads oui.txt in build() and not before ...

dreieck, thanks, I pushed a fix. I didn't bump the pkgrel version since the created package is identical.

This package downloads stuff in build(). This should not happen.

Please try to make that download included in the source array (and give it a unique filename, e.g. netdiscover-oui-${pkgver}.txt for when $SRCDEST is used), and if not feasible then do that download in prepare(), so that build() can run in an offline environment.

Regards and thanks for the package!
