Arch Linux User Repository

@ProfessorKaos64 What files?

How do we choose to export the files that make the package? I don't just want the final package archive.

UPDATE: Ok, I figured it out. My platform is not recognized. I'm using ArchLinux on ARM. Therefore the $_arch variable has 'armv7l' as value. Hi, building debtap went fine but when doing 'debtap -u' I get the following output: sudo debtap -u ==> Synchronizing pkgfile database... :: Updating 5 repos... core is up to date aur is up to date extra is up to date community is up to date alarm is up to date ==> Synchronizing debtap database... % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0 curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found gzip: /var/cache/debtap/debian-packages-files.gz: unexpected end of file % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0 curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found gzip: /var/cache/debtap/ubuntu-packages-files.gz: unexpected end of file Synchronization failed. Exiting... How to fix that? Kind regards

@msrd0 Yes, in the next version which is coming in the next few weeks or days, depending on my free time

Can you please replace this awfull line :: If you want to edit .PKGINFO and .INSTALL files (in this order), press (1) For vi (2) For nano (3) For a custom editor or any other key to continue: by using the value of the $EDITOR variable (if it is unset you can ask)? This would help alot; this way I don't have to type '3 emacs' all the time.

@aldeano Try again. Works fine here: ==> Validating source files with sha512sums... debtap-2.4.3.tar.gz ... Passed debtap.install ... Passed

I can't download debtap form source using yaourt: ==> Continue building debtap ?

Anyway, I'm glad you solved your problem

I think it is because in my .profile umask 066 which has been set like that since 1994 From my understanding sudo uses the users umask for creating files and directories.

@rev.cressy I installed sudo in one of my machines, configured it, then did a fresh installation of debtap (/var/cache/debtap didn't exist before), updated debtap database running "sudo debtap -u" as a normal user, then I converted a .deb package using debtap again as a normal user. Everything went fine, plus permissions are 755 for /var/cache/debtap and 644 for its contents. So, I can't reproduce your problem and I don't know what happened in your case.
