Can't create i686 srcpackage on x86_64 #15

Closed boenki closed 10 years ago

boenki commented 10 years ago

Hi,

I maintain a package on AUR, which only runs on i686. I just wanted to update it from my x86_64 PC, but I can't.

[boenki invaders]$ LANG=C mkaurball -f ==> ERROR: invaders is not available for the 'x86_64' architecture. Note that many packages may need a line added to their PKGBUILD such as arch=('x86_64'). ERROR: makepkg exited non-zero

Thanks

This is a bug in makepkg. There shouldn't be any architecture restriction on who can create a source tarball.

In the meantime, I've added a workaround in mkaurball.
