Description:

Hello.

I have recently adopted and rewriten PKGBUILD for gozerbot package on AUR.
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9532

I am using _aur_url variable in sources - which AUR now successfuly recognizes,
but makepkg --source don't include those files.

Reason is to let user choose if donwload tar or only PKGBUILD
and let makepkg donwload rest of files.

If this is stupid idea or not arch way - pleas let me know ;-)

Additional info:
* pacman 3.3.3-1

Steps to reproduce:

mkdir gozerbot && cd gozerbot
wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gozerbot/gozerbot/PKGBUILD
makepkg -o
makepkg --source
This task depends upon

It sounds to me that you actually want to use --allsource instead of --source.

But that would include the gozerbot tarball too. It is not possible to include only a few remote sources via --allsource. The only possibility is running makepkg --source and adding setup.cfg to the tarball by yourself.

I think i really should better read man files O:-)

My idea is to use something like --aursource to detect files that should be placed on aur.

I haven't used 'makepkg --source', i did 'tar czf gozerbot.tar.gz gozerbot/'.
But will try to use --source next time ;-) and add it manually :-/

I am really confused here:

makepkg --source -> source package will all non-remote files (suitable for the AUR)
makepkg --allsource -> source package containing all needed sources.

Are you requestion something else?

OK. You could forget it and close this ticket :)

My original intention - after xduugu comment - was if is something between --source and --allsource is good idea or not.
I don't know how many people are using only AUR (like me now) - but true is, you could make your own repo where
--aur-source option is useless.

So - never mind.

Thanks for responses!
