AUR epy-git: pkgver() error

[xiota]

Noticed you are the maintainer of epy-git on AUR. It is failing to build.

==> Starting pkgver()...
==> ERROR: pkgver is not allowed to contain colons, forward slashes, hyphens or whitespace.
==> ERROR: pkgver() generated an invalid version: grep: epy.py: No such file or directory
.r286.c7a87f3

Fix is pretty simple.

pkgver() {
  cd "$_name"
  printf "%s.r%s.%s" \
    "$(grep -RF --include=*.py '__version__ = ' | awk -F\" '{print $2}')" \
    "$(git rev-list --count HEAD)" \
    "$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)"
}

Also, here is a PKGBUILD for your other ereader, baca, in case you want to create and maintain it.

If you add me as comaintainer for epy-git and baca-ereader-git (after you create it; there is an entirely different program called baca-cli), I can help keep them up to date. (Or I can create it and add you as comaintainer, if that's easier for you.)

Yess, that would be much appreciated! I think it's better for you to create new. I no longer use Arch, so I cannot interact with AUR and no need for you to add me as comaintainer... Thanks man, let me know if there's anything I can do...

[xiota]

It is here: baca-ereader-git

About the epy-git pkgver() another option is to drop the initial version string entirely:

  printf "r%s.%s" \
    "$(git rev-list --count HEAD)" \
    "$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)"

It's less prone to breaking.

[wustho]

Thanks mate, I will add it to README!

[xiota]

I'll do my best to keep the baca-ereader-git package functional.

I no longer use Arch, so I cannot interact with AUR

To clarify, you're unable to fix the pkgver error yourself and also unable to log onto the epy-git AUR page to add me as comaintainer so I can fix it? If so, would you mind if I send a request to orphan the package so I can adopt and update it?

[wustho]

Not at all, in fact, thanks for that!

[Antiz96]

@wustho Are you able to log in to the AUR web interface to disown the package so xiota can take over the maintenance?

@xiota While waiting for wustho to disown the package or for the orphan request to get through (we have to wait 14 days before being able to accept it), I made you a co-maintainer for the epy-git package so you can push changes right away ;)

[wustho]

Wow you guys made me feel high spirited about this app, might refactor this later so it's easier for other devs to contribute. Will try to do it @Antiz96 I think I still have the credentials.

[wustho]

@Antiz96 just did! Thanks guys!

[Antiz96]

@Antiz96 just did! Thanks guys!

Cool, thanks a lot!

@xiota, you're now the maintainer of the epy-git AUR package ;) I'm closing your orphan request.

[xiota]

Thanks for the great programs. I just updated the AUR package, and will do my best to keep it up to date.
