Note: Pacaur is targeted at advanced users who want some degree of automation for repetitive tasks. As such, the user is expected to be familiar with the AUR manual build process with makepkg and its configuration options, as well as being knowledgeable about sudo and gpg configuration.
When reporting problems, please:
- check whether makepkg -s can build a package successfully. As pacaur relies exclusively on makepkg to build packages, the PKGBUILD must be corrected by its maintainer if makepkg fails.
- check whether the package and its dependencies provide correct AUR metadata on the RPC interface. As pacaur relies exclusively on the metadata to solve dependencies, the .SRCINFO file should be corrected by its maintainer if the information differs.
- check that the problem is reproducible, and is not caused by a misconfiguration of pacaur/pacman/makepkg/sudoers/gpg/etc.
- check that the problem isn't due to the use of an intermediary pacman wrapper (such as powerpill).
- post the ouput of
bash -x pacaur <your command>in the forum thread or on github to help debug the issue.
