Arch Linux User Repository

When building using aursync I get a build error telling me that sime temporary file logpipe.XXXX could not be removed. When building manually using makepkg this works out-of-the-box. Has anyone similar effects?

SourceForge's git is so slow it takes hours and then fails to complete. Using the mirror (git://repo.or.cz/openocd.git) instead gets the source in no time.

I am not able to build due to following error.

checking the archiver (ar) interface... unknown
configure: error: could not determine ar interface
configure: error: ./configure.gnu failed for src/jtag/drivers/libjaylink
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...

Cloning openocd-git prompts for a username and password to connect to `https://git.code.sf.net`.
As a workaround, I replaced `git://git.code.sf.net/p/openocd/code` by `http://git.code.sf.net/p/openocd/code` and this seems to work, though it's not the preferred solution.

Excellent, yaourt has now stopped complaining about openocd being out of date all the time.

Thanks alex, I updated the pkgver().

Please use

git describe --tags --long | sed -E 's/^v//;s/([^-]*-g)/r\1/;s/-/./g'

for pkgver_git. It produces a package version that can actually be compared correctly (currently openocd-git-0.9.0.r40.gd52070c-1)

installed file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-openocd.rules assigns group "plugdev" which is probably incorrect on arch? ; I suggest using group "uucp" like the other /dev/tty* devices. (See standard /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules )
Something like <>sed -i -e "s/plugdev/uucp/g" /etc/udev/rules.d/99-openocd.rules<>

@djvinz: I have instead removed most of the _features list, and moved the 'depends' to 'optdepends'. Some of the features were outdated anyway.

Since pacman does not allow choosing optional dependencies before installation, this will most probably require downloading the package source and building locally after reviewing the available features. Vanilla ./configure autodetection is used.

Actually, I only needed this package once a long time ago, so if anyone wishes to maintain it, I'd be happy to disown. For a package with all features enabled by default, I'd recommend making a new one (something like `openocd-git-all`, similar to the already-present `openocd-git-libftdi`).

this would having to add hidapi as a dependency, so I could see why you wouldn't add this by default...
