hey osjarw,

sorry about removing the previous maintainer and not adding him as a contributor. it was my first PKGBUILD edit and i did that wrong. Also thanks for the HTTPS hint, you are right.

I'll fix these two things at the weekend, when i have time.

About building the package, i have to read your explanation and what could be improved again later and also try to improve that later, if i can.

I didn't write the code before, just bumped the version number up and thought: Fine, this builds like before - no issues so far.

But ofc, if it can be improved and i can learn something out of it, we should do that what you told me. Thanks for all the feedback!

With Kind Regards,

Tim Rachul

I don't think this package should be working. As far as I can tell, what is happening is that this PKGBUILD downloads the prepackaged game from the site, saves it under the same name as the package that it is trying to build, realizes that there now exists a file with the same name as the package which it should be building, and then aborts because the package file already exists.

Essentially all this package is doing currently is downloading the package from the developers, checking the sha256sum, and then aborting.

If you run makepkg -f or save the source package under different name, then you'll actually try to build the package, or rather, you'll extract the source package, and then try to repackage it. This doesn't actually work currently, because the source package contains a few dotfiles left behind by the developers running makepkg, and the fix to get around this was removed without any explanations a while ago.

If this PKGBUILD is indeed intended to just download the package, you could just replace the contents of the package function with an echo or something, and it'd still work. In this case you might also want to add the source package to the noextract array or whatever it called was to stop makepkg from needlessly extracting the package to $srcdir.

This ain't really related to the earlier tirade, but as far as I can tell we are supposed to use https to fetch sources, not http.

Also not sure about this one, but as far as I'm aware, we aren't supposed to just remove earlier maintainers from the PKGBUILD, we're supposed to add them as Contributors.

Added you as a co-maintainer.

Also upgraded the PKGBUILD. Hope everything is right, this was my first upgrade-commit ever. So, I am still learning. Open for advice and feedback!

Please add me to comaintainers

No, I can't.

I think there is a newer free version. Could you upgrade it?

Could you please add sdl2_net as a dependency. Without it the game will not start:

/usr/bin/urw3-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL2_net-2.0.so.0

Thank you for maintaining this package.

Unable to build with the latest pacman:

==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build urw.

Edit: can be resolved by appending the following lines to PKGBUILD's package(), not sure if there's a better way:

    rm "${pkgdir}/.BUILDINFO"
    rm "${pkgdir}/.MTREE"
    rm "${pkgdir}/.PKGINFO"

@zegentz

You are listed as the maintainer, why are you not pushing updated PKGBUILDs to AUR?
