I'm also starting to use and like a lot sourcehut.

Question: Is it "really" necessary to use "git" as a "make dependency" on this "urlview" PKGBUILD ?

I see you use this,

  : ${_commit:=add0ab60b4.....

to pick a specific commit to get a specific "version". Currently the so called "1d" version for example.

But, doesnt sourcehut also provides "tar.gz"'s for specific released versions ?

The so called "refs" page

https://git.sr.ht/~nabijaczleweli/urlview-ng/refs

https://git.sr.ht/~nabijaczleweli/urlview-ng/archive/1d.tar.gz

Couldnt you just use that and skip "git" altogether as a "make dependency" ?

... git package did not reference it ... (arm)

This is a simple terminal tool written in standard C (some c++ also ???). No exotic dependencies. With only classical, widespread, war tested, C dependencies (ncurses etc). In my personal experience, in 99.9 % of these cases, you dont need to wait for the developer to explicitly "mention" or "reference" the word "arm". Or "freebsd". Or UNIX. Or Solaris ...

... use makepkg --ignorearch.
... I will add them back after someone tests and confirms that they still work.

I assumed my previous comment implied I knew and had done all that before posting.

You have my explicit confirmation now also.

Please do it for both "urlview" and "urlview-git".

@xiota

12 days ago, 1.d, https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=urlview&id=a13a406f794bdce77322bf26a5ecc96b4e62f2c5

- url = http://packages.qa.debian.org/u/urlview.html
+ url = https://git.sr.ht/~nabijaczleweli/urlview-ng


- arch = armv7h
- arch = aarch64

Why did you remove those "arch" ?

This PKGBUILD had been working fine on Archlinux ARM for years.

Is there something new that prevents this tool written in C from working there ?

I cant find the reason.

If so please put it back. Thanks in advance.

It would be great you updated the package to the upsteam version 09-23.1

bergentroll: The canonical source of urlview isn't actually debian. Seems to be here.

Dragonlord, current versioning is a bit confusing. v0.9-13 corresponds to v0.9-21 of Debian upstream. So why not just to use pkgrel for patchlevel and epoch for package downstream versioning? Or, if you dislike epoch, you may set e.g. _upsver=0.9 and pkgver=${_upsver}.${_patchlevel}.

grawlinson commented on 2019-09-25 00:38 (UTC)

Hi Dragonlord, are you able to implement bergentroll's one-liner fix? I can confirm that it works flawlessly.
