$pkgname=tomatoes
$pkgver=1.55
$pkgdata=1.5

source=(http://dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/$pkgname/$pkgname-linux-src-$pkgver.tar.bz2\
http://dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/$pkgname/$pkgname-linux-$pkgdata.tar.bz2\
tomatoes-1.55-c_str.patch makefile.diff README.patch)

If I had this in my PKGBUILD

I would end up with something like:

Sources
http://dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/tomatoes/tomatoes-linux-$pkgdata.tar.bz2http://dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/tomatoes/tomatoes-linux-src-1.55.tar.bz2tomatoes-1.55-c_str.patch
makefile.diff
README.patch

If I put a space before the end-of-line slashes in the "source=" list then the sources will be printed properly.

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  This seems like correct behavior.

Hi Loui,

Im my humble opnion, this is the correct behaviour because '\' in the end of the line says that the line will continue. Following this logic, if i write:

anystring\
anything

It will join things in the same line, as you noted.

So, can i close this or you have any others issue with this ?

Yeah that does make sense, but I guess my post didn't translate too well in this bug submitting forum. I made a test package to demonstrate what I mean, because I have spaces after the newline.
Look for pkg test-louipc in the AUR or visit the following link.

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?do_Details=1&ID=7287&O=0&L=0&C=0&K=test-louipc&SB=&SO=&PP=25&do_MyPackages=0&do_Orphans=0&SeB=nd

Thanks.

Hi Loui,

This is what im telling you:

source=(test1\
test2\
test3)

In the first line, you have test1\ and then a second line.

They will turn into:

test1test2test3.

The correct use is:

source=(test1 \
test2 \
test3)

That will turn into:

test1 test2 test3

Got it ?

Ah alright. Maybe there's a bug in makepkg because it doesn't have that same behaviour. It seems that makepkg recognizes the spaces after the newline and properly separates the file names. I tend to think that makepkg would be the proper behaviour. If '\' means that the next line is a continuation of the current line it should include everything including the whitespace shouldn't it?

I think this is not a bug, but i will see what can i do in the source. About the makepkg, it has any connection to the aur sourcecode, that explains the different behaviour.

I guess it can be easily incorporated to aur and i will give it a try asap.

Thanks for filling this in our bugs system :)

Alright cool. I'm glad to help if I can!

I'm enclosing the PKGBUILD tarball for testing this bug. I feel awkward letting it linger in AUR.
