Arch Linux User Repository

@46620 Thanks for picking this up! A few minor nitpicks: the org for rgbds changed from rednex to gbdev a while ago. There is also a CMake build system which is used in the main repo package.

Here's the diff for the PKGBUILD that I've been using:

Feel free to use it.

Latest release fails to build.

==> ERROR: pkgver is not allowed to contain colons, forward slashes, hyphens or whitespace.
==> ERROR: pkgver() generated an invalid version: 0.5.0.rrc1.3-ga81d383

Assuming there's something off with the regex.

This fails to build recently due to an invalid pkgver, as the sed regex leaves a - in. The regex just needs a g on the end to fix it, i.e.

git describe --long --tags | sed 's/^v//;s/-/.r/;s/-/./g'

flex is part of base-devel, so expected to be installed.

please add flex to depends

NieDzejkob: Thank you, added.

Can you please add a provides=('rgbds') line?

I don't use this program anymore, I've disowned the package.
