sorry for my late response. your right, cloning and makepkg'ing works for me too - just checked but building with pacaur doesn't: https://asciinema.org/a/GPaTS8hXESrjEPWfEPKCDorOW the error message makes it sound like the PKGCONFIG has some misconfig. after looking in your PKGCONFIG I discovered you set the "pkgver" dynamically (via the function "pkgver()"). I've never seen it like this, so I changed it to "pkgver=1.0.1" and it built just fine. but yea... seems kinda pacaur related. although I'm unsure about the rules for arch packages, is that dynamic "pkgver()-trick" allowed?

@f4bio, Just cloned, ran makepkg, and installed successfully. Do you have more detailed steps to reproduce your issue?

[...] :: Installing wscat package(s)... :: wscat package(s) failed to install. :: ensure package version does not mismatch between .SRCINFO and PKGBUILD :: ensure package name has a VCS suffix if this is a devel package I think thats due to your pkgver(), it makes the PKGBUILDs version dynamic (I don't even know if thats allowed?) but .SRCINFOs verion is fixed

Applied the fix suggested by luxor, and removed the empty build step.

No maintainer action, orphaning. luxor, feel free to take over.

Changing line 7 of PKGBUILD from: license="custom" to license=("custom") fixes the issue Svenstaro encountered. PKGBUILD should be: pkgname=wscat pkgver=1.0.1 pkgrel=3 pkgdesc="Netcat-like utility for WebSockets" url="https://github.com/websockets/wscat" arch=("x86_64" "i686") license=("custom") depends=("nodejs") makedepends=("npm") pkgver() { npm show wscat | awk -F"[: ',]+" '/version:/ { print $3 }' } build() { echo "" } package() { export npm_config_prefix="${pkgdir}/usr" npm install -g wscat }

This couldn't work: ==> ERROR: license should be an array
