Arch Linux User Repository

To anyone mentioning that pkgver is empty, I am not sure what are you talking about. On my side it works just fine, and here ( https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=oscam-git#n7 ) it is declared.

Please stop flagging the package for no reason.

hi---found the problem-make allyesconfig cause enabling Binary signing with X.509 certificate--- anabling this option cause error on load and shutdown oscam!!!

Hi

NOW oscam refuses to load!--- please help

Hi all ! / version 11847-1 does not run and fail in systemctl \ please see my terminal output : / systemctl --state=failed UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION
● oscam.service loaded failed failed Open Source Conditional Access Module

Legend: LOAD → Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded. ACTIVE → The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB. SUB → The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.

I think this compile option would fix it: -DWITH_SIGNING=OFF

What is the minimum config needed to get the service running ? Installing and running out of the box results in fail for me : nov 13 19:29:25 myhost oscam[56307]: 00000000 s (main) creating pidfile /tmp/.oscam/oscam.pid with pid 56307 nov 13 19:29:25 myhost oscam[56307]: 00000000 s (main) signal handling initialized nov 13 19:29:25 myhost oscam[56307]: 00000000 s (main) exit oscam requested nov 13 19:29:25 myhost oscam[56307]: 00000000 s (signing) Signature = Error: Binary's signature is invalid!

most likely it's from this : Signature = Error: Binary's signature is invalid! Shutting down...

No longer builds atm, I fixed it replacing pkgver like: pkgver() { cd "$pkgname" local full_version=$(./config.sh --oscam-version) echo "$full_version" | cut -d'-' -f2 }

@MarsSeed: You might be right but mine is actually way more maintained than the one in oscam-svn and it has a different build config compared to that one. So despite sharing a repository, they are very different in the way we build oscam.

I don't think it's right to delete this one IMHO.

I have submitted a deletion request, since this package builds from a Subversion repo and therefore is an exact duplicate of oscam-svn. People who need this module should use the latter package.

@Alad thanks for the suggestion :) Fixed on the new release

This is NOT how you use SRCDEST. SRCDEST is the place where downloaded archives are placed, and this PKGBUILD only works by coincidence because makepkg sets "$startdir" as the default value for this variable. (If the user explicitely defines SRCDEST as something else, it won't work).

You presumably meant "$srcdir", however cd "$pkgname" suffices since makepkg starts in "$srcdir" already.
