Arch Linux

Summary and Info:

When using makepkg against certain SVN based package builds, makepkg exits with the following error:


==> Determining latest svn revision...
-> Version found: 3823
emove
sed: -e expression #1, char 27: unterminated `s' command


This problem occurs as the sed regex attempts to match the SVN revision number which is prefixed with an 'r'. In this case the second line of the SVN log begins with the word 'remove'. I have modified my makepkg script as follows to resolve the issue (this may not be the best approach and may have other edge-cases that also fail):


--- makepkg 2008-02-13 14:37:08.000000000 +1300
+++ makepkg~ 2008-02-13 14:36:45.000000000 +1300

This fault should be reproduceable using the following PKGBUILD (at least as of revision 3823 - subsequent revisions may make this fault difficult to reproduce without creating your own SVN repository):


pkgname=zaptel-svn-local
pkgdesc="Zapatel Drivers for Asterisk"
pkgver=1
pkgrel=1
_svntrunk=http://svn.digium.com/svn/zaptel/branches/1.4
_svnmod=zaptel

Many Thanks,
