Hello everyone!

I'm still having this problem that @maleadt was describing.

Using binfmt-support, I'm getting these warning messages and exiting.
Is there a certain format standard that these qemu-* files must adhere to for binfmt-support?

Thanks a lot!

Naming scheme changed.

In order to make it work:
-_debsrc=${pkgname}_${pkgver}+dfsg-3_${_arch}.deb
-sha1sums=('1ed56046786a7a722289ad83b0f77874a9c605e6')
-[ "$CARCH" = 'i686' ] && sha1sums=('709f0949cf4e07060a9239998e88d4165a3b087f')

+_debsrc=${pkgname}_${pkgver}+dfsg-3+b1_${_arch}.deb
+md5sums=('c28ff4f2e1270335a72f38896e546717')

what are the files in /var/lib/binfmts/ ?
are they used by something in ArchLinux?

I finally created a script that will (hopefully) tell me whenever a new version is available, so updates should be coming sooner from now on. That been said, I still count on your help to give me a heads up if an update is available and the package is not updated (the script could be wrong or debian changed its naming scheme). Thank you.

@greyltc: please read my reaply on 2015-10-24 09:49

If you want to contribute, please contribute a script that tells me whenver a new version is available on Debian's servers : it would be highly appreciated.

This package should have the -bin suffix. It's just unpacking a .deb, not actually building anything.

Looks like new/updated version, if I understand their numbering scheme correctly. (It sure doesn't lend itself much to automated/scripted checking very easily.)

-_debsrc=${pkgname}_${pkgver}+dfsg-3_${_arch}.deb
+_debsrc=${pkgname}_${pkgver}+dfsg-5_${_arch}.deb

-sha1sums=('9d2ad8848c4135e5443a400917e29363cfd822ba')
+sha1sums=('2a71f280c899dc2fc6702289c3f3453ae8e3f81b')

The sources download raise a 404.

Use :
9d2ad8848c4135e5443a400917e29363cfd822ba qemu-user-static_2.5+dfsg-3_amd64.deb

The sources changed. Here is a working PKGBUILD: https://gist.github.com/bricewge/1e404c293cb902e2a9b0

Using this package with binfmt-support from AUR I'm getting:

update-binfmts: warning: /var/lib/binfmts/qemu-m68k: required 'package' line missing

Am I doing something wrong?
