package() fails -- you install stuff directly into the system and not to $pkgdir, but you must use $pkgdir:

You cannot resort to excuse upstream makefile. If it does not honour $DESTDIR, then you must install manually.

See package pdd-git, which does it correctly.

Regards and thanks for maintaining!

@dreieck The cause is the makefile of upstream, which installs the auto completions by default via make install.

Without the auto completions, this package will be less helpful :thinking:

This PKGBUILD wants to install stuff outside $pkgdir. This is not allowed.

This is a critical issue. Please fix immediately.

It has already been reported at 2022-12-22 11:22 (UTC).

Here the error output again:

install -m644 _pdd -t /usr/share/zsh/site-functions
install: cannot create regular file '/usr/share/zsh/site-functions/_pdd': Permission denied

Regards!, and
thanks for maintaining.

@simona The developer of pdd made a typo compilations should be completions.

He figured out his mistake. But he didn't tag a new release (yet).

However somehow make install-bash-completion was still failing at my side.

install: can not remove '/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/pdd': Access denied

Which is a stupid error, because that file doesn't even exist, nor I want that it gets removed because it is for getting autocompletion.

The git package also does not install.

So I modified the PKGBUILD of this package to call the building of the package and installing the autocompletions (I don't use fish) and this (w)hacky workaround works:

# Maintainer: Jameson Pugh <<<REMOVED DUE SPAM>>>

pdd now support zsh completion.
