Arch Linux User Repository

This PKGBUILD verifies the authenticity of the source via PGP signatures which are not part of the Arch Linux keyring. In order to complete the process it is necessary to import the key(s) from the ‘validpgpkeys’ array into the user’s keyring before calling makepkg. There is a helpful article explaining this process by one of Arch Linux's developers located here: http://allanmcrae.com/2015/01/two-pgp-keyrings-for-package-management-in-arch-linux/

Instructions on importing keys from a keyserver and how to automate the retrieval process can be found in the Arch Linux wiki here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG#Use_a_keyserver This article also contains helpful information describing the installation of GnuPG, its configuration and usage.

Execute the following to import keys using gpg:

gpg --recv-keys <KEYID - See 'validpgpkeys' array in PKGBUILD>

The PGP signature check can be skipped by passing --skippgpcheck to makepkg.

Consult the makepkg manual page for a full list of options. [https://www.archlinux.org/pacman/makepkg.8.html]

Well the public key worked here and the package built and installed. So I suspect your problem was the keyserver and nothing to do with the package or key. Perhaps you should try again?

For Signatures I use this

mkdir -p /home/username/.gnupg echo 'keyring /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/pubring.gpg' >> $HOME/.gnupg/gpg.conf chown -R username:username /home/username/.gnupg chmod 700 /home/username/.gnupg chmod 600 /home/username/.gnupg/*

@mirh use this https://gist.githubusercontent.com/florianbegusch/88955f8a86ddd1e45b99f930d5a178f0/raw/e386d3057dc7dfaad627aef9226ec2e48cbeb641/PKGBUILD

I'd really like "--with-versioned-syms" to be added to configure, so that I don't get warning-spammed during compilation of other software.

Also, the last make has problems with spaces in path still.

Updated PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO

Thank you in advance

You may experience the following compilation error on latest gcc:

/usr/include/bits/wchar2.h:448:3: error: #error "Assumed value of MB_LEN_MAX wrong"

Solution: insert the following code to the FIRST line of "src/ncurses-6.1/progs/progs.priv.h", "src/ncurses-6.1/c++/cursesw.h", and "src/ncurses-6.1/ncurses/curses.priv.h".

#include <wchar.h>

Maybe a patch should be added to this repo.

Please don't install libraries for static linking (*.a files). It doesn't make much sense to have those libraries since the corresponding headers are missing.

If you're still having trouble (like I was) on getting the correct gpg keys and getting a standard 'gpg: keyserver refresh failed: Server indicated a failure"

the reason seems to be is that the new version gnupng NEEDS /etc/resolv.conf populated

I had a systemd to configure my DNS so I never had to create it. Popped it in, and voila it all works again!

just add the below to the conf file and you should be good to go.

nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4

@Barthalion did the link to your repository changed? I was using yours to get ncurses5-compat-libs
