Archive tag in pspec.xml

[James T]

I have a need to build a package for the latest SVN of indilib (an astronomical telescope control library) because of a bug in the driver for my telescope in the current release, that is supposed to be fixed in the upcoming version.

I think most of what I need to do is reasonably clear, but I'm not sure whether it's possible to directly specify an SVN download in the <Archive> tag of pspec.xml, (an alternative is to use the daily(?) development tarball.).

The Archive tag in the current pspec.xml is:

Code:

<Archive sha1sum="70b6a4cf4447874a0cf65dd8ece2d77dc397826d" type="targz">mirrors://sourceforge/indi/libindi0_0.6.tar.gz</Archive>

The url of the snapshot is:

Code:

http://indi.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/indi.tar.gz?view=tar

The svn checkout is:

Code:

svn co https://indi.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/indi indi

What do I need to put into the Archive tag?

I don't know what you are trying to do
Both links give about 40.5-40.8MiB of directories and files.
Isn't it much easier to download libindi0_61.tar.gz (date 2010-04-02) from http://sourceforge.net/projects/indi/files/ and unpack/compile this one?

When I looked yesterday on the main indi page, it hadn't been updated to reflect the release of 0.6.1. Just removing the Pardus package and doing a configure-make-install process would force the removal of kdeedu (kstars).

I'll try to modify the pspec.xml for the new release -- that should be a bit easier than messing with svn or snapshot builds.
