Do I have to do something for this package to be merged with qman?

plp commented on 2025-02-21 22:03 (UTC)

Done:

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=qman

Please let me know if there are any problems. I tried to do this as quickly as possible, so I obviously didn't go through the guidelines thoroughly.

Also, and provided you are OK with qman, qman-git can be deleted.

@plp: Please resubmit as qman if you're going to create "releases". VCS packages do not work the way you're treating this. Please see VCS package guidelines.

I'm sorry, for some reason I wasn't receiving notifications for the package, and I was therefore unaware of the submitted comments and patch.

Please refrain from deleting it, and will make the necessary corrections to it as soon as humanly possible. Please note that this may take a few days, as I'm obviously not well versed in makepkg, and I'll have to do some reading.

Thank you.

Multiple minor and major issues with this PKGBUILD. Please consider applying the patch: https://0x0.st/88Pz.patch

  • wrong license=() formatting, license itself not installed
  • do not use $pkgname as the name of the source repository, leave it as-is (this messes with people who use a shared $SRCDEST)
  • prepare() must be used to apply modifications to the source files
  • arch-meson not used
  • this is a -git package, yet pkgver is not generated automatically

Unfortunately, the repository does not have any tags, so I had to bump epoch and use a revision counter. Either accept what I did, or add some tags to the repository. In any way, in a -git package, pkgver is supposed to be bumped automatically, not by hand.

@plp What yochananmarqos says.

Also, the PKGBUILD should have

provides=('qman')
conflicts=('qman')

PKGBUILD critique:

  • The SPDX license statement 'BSD-2-CLAUSE' should be formatted as 'BSD-2-Clause' instead. Also, since it's not a license already installed with the licenses package, it needs to be installed with the package
  • 'nighly' is not a valid pkgver. Please use a pkgver() array as outlined in VCS package guidelines
  • Shouldn't this depend on man-db?
  • The man page is installed in /usr/man/ instead of /usr/share/man/.
