It fails when there is a space in $pkgdir. Using "$pkgdir/usr" and "$pkgdir" on line 26 and 28 fixes this issue.

Thank you pdxleif and mhertz for the fix and reminder comment and testing. Package builds nicely now.

As stated by pdxleif, this package fails to build, so kindly fix by deleting line 28 of PKGBUILD, which i've personally tested to work. Thanks in advance! :)

Fails with "rmdir: failed to remove 'usr/etc': No such file or directory"

Updated PKGBUILD, and it's now building nicely. Thanks @asem, @trulex, and @blumsicle for the fixes!

Disowning, please adopt it to update it :)

Another option is to install from a tarball:

package() {
cd $srcdir
tar czvf "../$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz" "$pkgname"

install -D -m644 "$pkgname/LICENSE" "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE"
npm install --user root -g --prefix="$pkgdir/usr" "../$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz"
}

This fixes it for me


package() {
cd $pkgname
mkdir -p $pkgdir/usr
npm install --user root -g --prefix="$pkgdir/usr"
cd $pkgdir
rmdir usr/etc
cd usr/lib/node_modules/
rm castnow
mv ../../../../../src/castnow-git castnow
cd castnow
install -D -m644 LICENSE "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE"
}

npm creates a relative symlink /usr/bin/castnow - > ../lib/node_modules/castnow/index.js which results in a broken symlink after the package is generated.

A manual fix is needed in the PKGBUILD
