@popsch: True. I've looked into the files and sometimes 'awk' is called, at other times '/usr/bin/gawk'. On the other hand, gawk is part of the base packagegroup and no other package seems to provide an awk command (nawk provides nawk). I have googled and found an interesting discussion on tur-users from 2007 (http://archlinux.2023198.n4.nabble.com/Proposals-For-PKGBUILD-Issues-td2042648.html), but on the wiki pages (Arch_Build_System and Makepkg) it still says 'base' is assumed to be installed on every Arch system. But actually the same holds for glibc... To make a long story short, I am undecided. I suppose I will leave it as is, at least for now. Unless you can point me to some more or less official statement of the policy on that issue.

namcap reports that the build file is missing a dependency to gawk.

and I've made a release with inetutils as optdepends, since that provides the hostname binary.

new upstream release.

cool, thanks!

(I'd rather force user to re-compile the package than to install something that they don't want.)

Now it's: optdepends=('libvformat: for reading vcard files (needed at compile time)')

Hi, Absolutely. The lbdb configure script will ensure that m_vcf is built if it finds libvformat on the system already. Otherwise, the plugin isn't built. There's no manual intervention required. An optdepends would be good - though that could be a little misleading - really, it's an "optbuilddepends", since installing libvformat after compiling lbdb isn't enough. I think that usually in this circumstance in the binary repos it would be added as a required build dependency though, then an optdepdends for runtime. But, it's up to you :-)

Hi Pete, thanks for the heads up. Just to make sure - lbdb's PKGBUILD does not need to be changed (except for an optdepends) since the configure script automatically recognizes when libvformat is installed, right?

Hi, I managed to get a mostly working PKGBUILD for libvformat up, here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47335 It's not pretty, but it works (suggestions welcome!) If you build lbdb with libvformat installed, then it will enable the m_vcf plugin, which reads from vcard files.
