Guys,
I'm obviously doing something wrong. I set up abs, then copied the tightvnc
package to my build dir, then I built it with makepkg -s (built clean - no
errors), then I went to install it and it bombed.
03:24 dcrgx2:~/arch/abs/tightvnc> sudo pacman -U
tightvnc-1.3.10_unixsrc.tar.bz2
loading package data...
error: missing package metadata in tightvnc-1.3.10_unixsrc.tar.bz2
error: 'tightvnc-1.3.10_unixsrc.tar.bz2': invalid or corrupted package
What metadata am I missing? What did I do wrong?
You are trying to install the source code and not the package. Look for
a file ending in -pkg.tar.gz.
