Originally from Jason St. John's patch, This is a much simplified version explaining some basic functions the four vcs's makepkg supports can use to get package version information.
Signed-off-by: William Giokas <[email protected]> --- I know that Allan didn't like this patch last time it was sent in, and neither did I, but I think that this should be documented. I took out the two terrible package versions for the git section, and cut it down to just the commands used to actually print out the pkgver, not the whole pkgver() { cd ... foo bar baz } which makes a lot more sense and keeps things to a minimum. doc/PKGBUILD.5.txt | 35 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 35 insertions(+) diff --git a/doc/PKGBUILD.5.txt b/doc/PKGBUILD.5.txt index ea280a0..bb185ea 100644 --- a/doc/PKGBUILD.5.txt +++ b/doc/PKGBUILD.5.txt @@ -450,6 +450,41 @@ The source URL is divided into three components: *svn*;; revision +*pkgver() Function*:: + This function allows 'makepkg' to automatically update the package version of + a package using a script.
