Summary and Info:

gensync in new pacman 3.1 expects wrong names for packages

Steps to Reproduce:

Do a gensync in any directory with packages.

For the same package you get:

- with old gensync (pacman 3.0):

:: adding package '../comix-3.6.4-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz'

- with new gensync (pacman 3.1)

==> ERROR: could not find comix-3.6.4-1-i686..pkg.tar.gz - skipping

Notice the TWO DOTS (instead of one) after the ARCH flag in the package name that the new gensync expects.

Of course this is wrong.
This task depends upon

And here is the solution:

In makepkg.conf

Change:

[code]PKGEXT='.pkg.tar.gz'
SRCEXT='.src.tar.gz'[/code]

To:

[code]PKGEXT='pkg.tar.gz'
SRCEXT='src.tar.gz'[/code]

Remove the first dot.

Because there is a second dot added in gensync here:

[code] if [ "$pkgdir" != "" ]; then
pkgfile="$pkgdir/$pkgname-$pkgver-$pkgrel-$CARCH.$PKGEXT"
else
pkgfile="$destdir/$pkgname-$pkgver-$pkgrel-$CARCH.$PKGEXT"
fi[/code]

Just tested the fix in makepkg.conf and it works.

Patch against pacman source attached.

I've also emailed this to the pacman-dev ML

That is not the fix. Now that you've removed the leading period, every other script that sources makepkg.conf is broken - just try running makepkg, for instance.

The real fix (against the pacman source) is in my attached patch above - basically remove the extra dot from gensync, NOT from makepkg.conf.

Every problem is critical to the guy who finds it. :/

Dan - patch attached. Go nuts.

BTW, check out 'repo-add' and 'repo-remove' - I believe these are the scripts you want now, and gensync is deprecated.

Changing makepkg.conf is going to put you in a world of hurt. I would not recommend that, becuase every other script except gensync/updatesync is going to break.

We'll get this in 3.1.1.
