When I try to run, the error is displayed: Can't get a (fully-qualified) domain-name!

What that means?

Thank you for adopt the project and taking care of the changes.

Unfortunately, the 'pcre'-package is in the wrong array:

tin E: Dependency pcre detected and not included (libraries ['usr/lib/libpcre.so.1'] needed in files ['usr/bin/tin'])

It is needed at runtime and must be moved from the 'makedepends'- to the 'depends'-array.

@martin-de: Incorporated some suggestions... Thank you.

I would like to make some comments about your project.

(1) the packages 'ispell' 'gnupg' 'dante' 'libidn' are not required at runtime and should therefore be moved to a 'makedepends' array

(2) the 'pcre' package is required at runtime but not specified as a dependency, and the 'bash' and 'glibc' packages are required at runtime but the dependency has only been indirectly satisfied; these packages should be moved to the 'depends' array

(3) the "CHANGES" file is misused: it is not used to document changes to the program, but changes to the PKGBUILD. The changelog of the changes to the program can be taken from the source code archive:

install -Dm644 CHANGES -t"$pkgdir/usr/share/doc/$pkgname/"

(4) since "CHANGES" file are not necessary, it can be removed from the directory and ".gitignore" cleaned of these file

(5) in

install -Dm644 README -t"$pkgdir/usr/share/doc/$_name/"

the variable "$_name" is used even though it hasn't been assigned a value, with the result that the file "README" in the root directory "/usr/share/doc" is copied where it doesn't belong. Either "$_name" must be assigned a value, or the variable "$pkgname" must be used

(6) the use of

options=('zipman')

is unnecessary because it already corresponds to the default setting in /etc/makepkg.conf as shipped by pacman

present version requires 'pcre' as a dependency

After recompiling tin, there are no more issues with it starting up. Thank you so much for replying.
