I can't source the .SRCINFO file for my variables. Are you suggesting I write a parser from scratch for that instead of moving the depends=() variable outside of the package() function?
This is the only package I put together in over 700 which has the depends=() array hidden in the package() function like this.
Ok. I'm not going to make this pipeline bother AUR's API any more than needed. I'll write a .SRCINFO parser. Wish me luck.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/.SRCINFO is what you need instead of evaluating the PKGBUILD yourself. It's indeed the results of the said evaluation.
Can depends=("zfs-utils=${pkgver}" 'dkms') be moved from the package() function to the main variables area at the top? I'm trying to put together an aur package which depends on zfs (Sticking with zfs-dkms) but sourcing the PKGBUILD file doesn't define a $depends variable and the package installation fails because zfs-utils doesn't get sought after.
If there's a correct way to evaluate this PKGBUILD to know that zfs-utils must also be built for zfs-dkms to install correctly please let me know.
Until a kernel 6.11 patch is incorporated here, zfs-dkms will fail to build against the 6.11.X linux and linux-zen kernels released on 16 Sep.
If you need 6.11.X zfs support in the iterim, consider running:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zfs-dkms-staging-git
Cheers
@antesilvam: Sounds like you need some pikaur help.

Kernel modules for the Zettabyte File System.
For some reasons, I cannot see the latest version (2.2.6-1) of this AUR package in the package manager:
pikaur -S zfs-dkms

@yurikoles If you build packages on your machine, then your machine is a build machine (to build the package per se). So I don't think this is a valid argument.
However since this package requires these tools post-installation too, they are arguably needed for zfs-dkms to function in its special 'runtime'. (I may be wrong.)
Anyway, I think it's better to move such kind of conversations to the mailing list, as it involves many official dkms packages too.
@fryfrog
This argument is valid for the AUR package build machine, but a target machine may differ, so the built package must contain all dependencies to be successfully installed and run.
@fryfrog thank you, it makes sense. Anyway I just realized that I hadn't installed aur yet, the issue is actually with zfs-dkms from archzfs repository.
@alepez: The base-devel package is assumed to be installed, a base requirement for using the AUR. That package contains at a glance autoconf and automake which both depend on perl. So if you've installed base-devel, you have perl. Sounds like you need to install the base-devel meta package or you'll run into more weird issues w/ aur packages.

If you receive this error when trying to build, it is because you have not imported the GPG keys used for verification.
You have two options:
1) Import the two keys into your keyring. ArchWiki article. You can find the key IDs in the PKGBUILD file, in the
validpgpkeysarray. (recommended)2) Alternatively, you can skip this verification by passing the
--skippgpcheckargument tomakepkgwhen building. (not recommended)
