Details

Summary and Info:

update_pkgver() does not check to make sure @SEDINPLACE@ on line 813 actually succeeds. This causes a seemingly successful build, but lacking a rather important pkgver bump.

Admittedly a non-broken PKGBUILD would not cause this problem to begin with; but it would be quite useful for debugging.

Steps to Reproduce:

Attached is a sample PKGBUILD with a pkgver() that will pass check_pkgver(), but still result in an invalid pkgver and escape the sed on line 813 in scripts/makepkg.sh.in.

Suggested fix included.
   PKGBUILD (0.2 KiB)
   die-properly-on-invalid-newpk... (0.6 KiB)
This task depends upon

My mistake; I didn't realize check_pkgver happens *after* update_pkgver on line 1372, but the order of operations isn't exactly relevant in either case (sorry I placed implicit partial blame on check_pkgver).

Sent to mailing list with the following minor change:

error "$(gettext "Failure updating %s from %s to %s")"
"pkgver" "$pkgver" "$newpkgver"
