Still, the 's/-[^-]*$//' is cutting off the '.ge66d942' suffix, which is the whole point of a Git version.

Wouldn't something like: git describe --long | sed 's/^v//;s/-/./g' be a more suitable Git version (12.0.g9bec39d)?

Here's the cron script that can be used. Can it be put in the package, possi bly `/usr/share/doc/pkgfile/cron.dail/pkgfile`? https://gist.github.com/1515fc22a531e4c1ef18

DB format has changed -- if you're upgrading and pull in a v5 tag, you'll need to force update your DBs to get accurate results.

My bad. Thanks falcon, that did the trick.

The manpage would tell you to source it from your shell initialization files -- ~/.bashrc, or ~/.zshrc

Thanks for fixing this falconindy. I noticed /usr/share/doc/pkgfile/command-not-found.bash which provides output if the command isn't found. How do I use it?

Once I improved the downloader, I realized that I wanted pkgfile running more frequently than just daily (and not as root). There's no way to support that via the magical argv0 behavior. Since it was excess code that proved to be not as flexible as just adding pkgfile to crontab, i decided it should be removed.

Thanks. I'm curious why you removed the symlink nosr-update behaviour though. Was it broken? Also your post_install message has one too many dashes.

Merging this into pkgfile-git. A tagged release of this is also now available in community under the name pkgfile.

Thanks for this tool. Now I don't need to install pkgtools just for pkgfile.

This is an excellent utility. Thank you for the time you spent developing it.

Nothing really. pkgfile broke for me with pacman 4 because we now route debug/error output to stderr. It's a 2 line fix, but I felt compelled to write my own tool in C which doesn't attempt to parse debug output to determine the runtime environment (servers and whatnot). Features are more or less the same, with a few behavioral tweaks (and the case sensitivity flag actually works). There's also a high probability this tool will end up in pacman 4.1.

Yes, I'm aware that not everyone creates the files metadata. Their loss. fixed and fixed.

Oh, and what's the difference between nosr and pkgfile?
