DeveloperWiki:Integrity Check

Introduction

A tool was written to check the integrity of official pkgbuilds (core, extra and community repository):

https://git.archlinux.org/dbscripts.git/tree/cron-jobs/check_archlinux/

This tool is run automatically every Friday and the results for core and extra are sent to the arch-dev-public ML, while the results for community are sent to the aur-general ML.

Example of the run on March 13th :

• Integrity Check i686 of core,extra
• Integrity Check x86_64 of core,extra
• Integrity Check i686 of community
• Integrity Check x86_64 of community

The purpose of this page is to maintain a list of the currently reported problems, with links to the Arch Linux Bugtracker. This will help to detect the new problems which need to be reported.

depends

• extra/archboot - missing dependencies seem to be a feature

NOTE : PKGBUILDs calling pacman -Q

The following PKGBUILDs call pacman -Q, so the result depends on the system where the PKGBUILD is parsed:

find /var/abs -name PKGBUILD | xargs grep 'pacman.*-Q' | sed 's#/var/abs/# #'

 community/sk1/PKGBUILD:  local _tclver=`pacman -Q tcl`
