Seems that way. For anyone interested - I've opened an issue upstream.

Given that makepkg does the right thing, to be honest, I'd consider that a makechrootpkg bug -- somewhere, stdout and stderr are being conflated, and it's almost a miracle that this is the only negative effect...

Hey! Thanks for the quick fix!

Just in case this is useful: The package now correctly builds with makepkg, but an extra-x86_64-build / makechrootpkg in a clean chroot still fails with:

==> Retrieving sources...   -> Found 0001-Build-SET-CMP0004-OLD-only-if-CMake-4.0.patch   -> Found milkytracker.install ==> WARNING: Skipping all source file integrity checks. ==> Extracting sources...   -> Creating working copy of milkytracker git repo... Cloning into 'milkytracker'... done. ==> Starting prepare()... [milkytracker]                    Generating desktop file... AudioVideoEditing is an unrecognized category ok patching file CMakeLists.txt ==> Starting pkgver()... ==> ERROR: pkgver is not allowed to contain colons, forward slashes, hyphens or whitespace. ==> ERROR: pkgver() generated an invalid version: warning: tag 'remove' is externally known as 'v1.04.00' 1.04.00.r335.g60ce53e ==> ERROR: Build failed, check /var/lib/archbuild/extra-x86_64/redacted/build

In the clean chroot git describe --long prints that warning on stdout, so it becomes part of the pkgver() output and makepkg rejects it. In upstream this seems to come from a tag/metadata inconsistency involving the remove and v1.04.00 tags, which makes newer Git print that warning. Redirecting git stderr to /dev/null still fixes the issue.

Everything else works perfectly.

Hiya, thanks for your report! I don't actively monitor the build status of this package, but I do update it when an issue is reported.

  1. Added git to makedepends.

  2. pkgver: Added stripping leading v from package version as used in upstream's git tags. The warning output by git describe is a side effect of a different issue which does not adversely affect the build process.

  3. Upstream has received PR 396 to fix CMake >= 4.0.0 no longer accepting setting policy to CMP0004, so I added those changes as a patch to this AUR package.

Not sure if this is still maintained, but git is missing from makedepends.

Also, pkgver fails, because of a git warning:

==> ERROR: pkgver is not allowed to contain colons, forward slashes, hyphens or whitespace. ==> ERROR: pkgver() generated an invalid version: warning: tag 'remove' is externally known as 'v1.04.00'

Finally, cmake complains about cmake_policy(SET CMP0004 OLD).

This patch seems to work for me:

Replaced jack-audio-connection-kit with jack, thanks!

jack-audio-connection-kit no longer exists

Package updated to use the CMake build system (since autotools have been removed) and to use system dependencies instead of the Git submodules.

RavuAlHemio commented on 2016-05-03 07:19 (UTC)

Updated, thanks for the heads-up!

Hey, We moved to SDL2 upstream some time ago - this PKGBUILD should have sdl2 as a dependency instead of sdl. Cheers :) -Dale
