Hello lexchilds,

never mind. The PKGBUILD still has an issue, but this time it is my mistake:

Last line

install -Dm644 "$srcdir"/$pkgname/leftwm.desktop "$pkgdir"/usr/share/xsessions

should be

install -Dm644 "$srcdir"/$pkgname/leftwm.desktop "$pkgdir"/usr/share/xsessions/leftwm.desktop

otherwise there will be a file conflict, because a directory with that name will most probably already exist.

haawda thanks for your help! Sorry I missed your message I was out for Christmas.

The PKGBUILD has issues:

  • missing pkgver function
  • mv commands in package function (makepkg --repackage will fail)
  • Uses of "mkdir -p" instead of "install -d"

-git-packages should have a pkgver function, e.g.

pkgver() {
  cd $pkgname
  git describe --tags | sed 's+-+.r+' | tr - . 
}
