@tuananh I'll need more information than this. Did you try Building in a clean chroot?

pkgctl license setup

Oh yes perfect. That was very easy. Done! Good luck with the package and thanks for all the info.

Yep, see any package in extra - for example https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/lib32-util-linux

pkgctl creates it for you.I suppose it's be

wouldn't the same logic apply to the TU who uploads it to extra anyway?

Sure, but then you have permission of nobody at all, which is worse

I definitely agree that the PKGBUILD is simplistic. But then if it's okay for the current maintainer to slap it on, then wouldn't the same logic apply to the TU who uploads it to extra anyway? i.e. couldn't they just add the licence instead?

Happy to do it anyway if you prefer. I was still a bit confused by your link though. Do I literally put this text into a file named LICENSE? (Or LICENCE if that's correct in your dialect)

I believe that from the Arch viewpoint, it's okay to just slap it there by the current maintainer, and that's it.

Whether that's 100% bulletproof in the eye of law is arguable, but this PKGBUILD is so simplistic anyways that it doesn't matter imo.

Oh right, sorry @C0rn3j. How does it work for multiple authors though? My changes are extremely minimal compared to the previous version.

This is about the license for the PKGBUILD, see the link

Rhinoceros commented on 2025-12-16 00:59 (UTC)

@C0rn3j I think the package already installs the licence?

$ pacman -Ql python-vdf
...
python-vdf /usr/share/licenses/python-vdf/LICENSE

Hi, could you add a LICENSE for the package? I'm looking to bring the package to extra

pkgctl license setup from devtools would do.
