I don't see... I wish the world were that easy (aka: every distribution has its own practices, from debian to suse to fedora to various bsd etc. For "you" something can seems trivial, for others very, very forbidden, even taboo)

But as I understand you'd like to make this package switch to your fork? No at all. It is a way different software. It cannot be used, even theoretically, as a drop-in replacement

Short version: I will put my AUR for zpaqfranz, different from zpaq's. Or at least I will try

@fcorbelli anyone can create AUR packages, see here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines. Since you literally are the creator of zpaqfranz I don't see how it could ever be "rude" for you to maintain your AUR package for zpaqfranz. Feel free to use the PKGBUILD here as a starting point.

But as I understand you'd like to make this package switch to your fork? Your phrasing is a bit confusing but if that is indeed the case then the answer is no.

@FabioLolix I know, it's my thread, but the question is a little different. Making an "official" package (for pacman) seems very difficult, while one for AUR much simpler (materially they are identical, but on AUR there is self-production) So I was asking if it is considered rude in the arch community to appropriate a AUR PKGBUILD to make your own

@fcorbelli pkgbuild for zpaqfranz was discussed here with you https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2029754#p2029754

I am not a frequent user, I would like to avoid gaffes, so I will ask a beginner question.

Is it possible to clone the zpaq package to update it with zpaqfranz?

@MBK Thanks for finding the issue. ZPAQ builds fine with LTO and I've updated the package to allow this.

MBK commented on 2023-09-05 17:44 (UTC)

If you have LTO disabled as system default, the build fails with: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find auto: File or Path not found. /usr/bin/ld: cannot find auto: File or Path not found. collect2: Error: ld returned 1

Adding "options=(!lto)" to the PKGBUILD fixes the problem.

same issue reported by @lunainvictum in my system. does not build

Ereski commented on 2023-03-01 10:46 (UTC)

@lunainvictum builds just fine here both with current clang (v15.0.7) and current gcc (v12.2.1). Looks like your env vars may not be set up correctly
