@maintainers, could you address this issue pointed out by @pekkarr in 2022? .install script is not needed.

makaturu commented on 2025-03-08 05:21 (UTC)

I am on Manjaro Gnome 25.0 and trying to install this but getting a repository error. The path to the source has now been changed to https://downloads.unidata.ucar.edu/udunits/2.2.28/udunits-2.2.28.tar.gz

The source line in PKGBUILD should read:

source=(https://downloads.unidata.ucar.edu/$pkgname/$pkgver/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)

NOTE: The sha256sums remains the same.

The udunits.install script is unnecessary and should be removed because pacman hooks texinfo-install.hook and texinfo-remove.hook (provided by texinfo package) already take care of updating info entries.

The path to the source has been changed to https://artifacts.unidata.ucar.edu/repository/downloads-udunits/2.2.28/udunits-2.2.28.tar.gz.

The source line should read:

source=(https://artifacts.unidata.ucar.edu/repository/downloads-udunits/$pkgver/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)

As @icaruseffect said, there is no suffix "Source" in the name of the file when you download it.

So, I made this three change in PKBUILD and then I was able to compile udunits.

Change the checksum in line 17 to: sha256sums=('590baec83161a3fd62c00efa66f6113cec8a7c461e3f61a5182167e0cc5d579e')

change the path in lines 20 and 26 from: cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver-Source" to: cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"

Then, I was able to compile and install udunits using: makepkg -sric

The path to the source has been changed to https://artifacts.unidata.ucar.edu/repository/downloads-udunits/udunits-2.2.28.tar.gz (-source is missing now in the url)

This has to be fixed in 3 Lines of the PKGBUILD.

Also Checksum was changed: sha256sums=('e9b9f623d4e1876dc094c7e0859cb70a5b25a1f023b82528a0b2dbb3a4d3cf7a')

The sha256sum of udunits-2.2.28 seems not right. Might need fixing

I was going to post here, but just realised that I posted here back in May. Would you consider adding aarch64 to the arch line of the PKGBUILD? If compiles and installs on arm64,

Morn commented on 2020-05-16 23:15 (UTC)

@Feakster: "Any" is only for programs that also work on other architectures after compilation (or software that is not compiled at all). See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#arch

ARM is not supported by regular Arch Linux, therefore it is not taken into account for AUR PKGBUILDs either...

Feakster commented on 2020-05-16 15:24 (UTC) (edited on 2020-05-16 15:43 (UTC) by Feakster)

Just tried installing this on aarch64 hardware, and all was fine. The R units package requires udunits to be installed in order to compile. Is there a reason the architecture is not set to "any"?
