Is there any way to perform clean build with workspace' wipe?
Maybe an -Aw key required that stands for --wipe?

[fosskers]

Thanks for reporting, I'll look into this.

[fosskers]

Actually yes, could you try aura -Aux --hotedit --force?

[Quadronick]

It's actually hard to reproduce.
I'll try.

As you can see your key/flag set doesn't work.

I have updated to 3.1.4 "manually" and will watch over it for some time.

[fosskers]

I don't actually own the aura-git AUR package, and so I have no control over the contents of its PKGBUILD. I notice that it doesn't install the vcs directory: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=aura-git#n46 So this may be an issue of directory permissions.

Could you try installing libumem-git and see if the same issue happens? Also at this point I'd recommend switching to one of the official packages, either aura-bin or aura. The contents of master (as provided by aura-git) aren't guaranteed to be stable/usable.

[Quadronick]

Oh... I didn't know that aura-git isn't at your control. I'll reinstall the package. Thank you)!

[fosskers]

Shall we close this?

[Quadronick]

Yes, I suppose. I still can't reproduce it. Sorry.

[mkoloberdin]

Also at this point I'd recommend switching to one of the official packages, either aura-bin or aura. The contents of master (as provided by aura-git) aren't guaranteed to be stable/usable.

I am experiencing the same issue with the official packages (tried both aura and aura-bin, v3.1.6):

$ sudo aura -Akxa ttf-google-fonts-git
aura >>= ttf-google-fonts-git PKGBUILD changes:
aura >>= Determining dependencies...
aura >>= AUR Packages:
ttf-google-fonts-git
aura >>= Continue? [Y/n]

aura >>= Failed to 'git pull' the latest updates.

[fosskers]

Thanks, I'll investigate with a clean docker image of Arch.

[fosskers]

In a fresh docker image with a fresh install of aura-bin, I was able to successfully build and install ttf-google-fonts-git.

When I investigated further, I found this:

[colin@35073582bdf3 cache]$ pwd
/var/cache
[colin@35073582bdf3 cache]$ ls
aura  aura-bin  fontconfig  ldconfig  pacman  private

... why would there be an aura-bin folder in here?

[colin@35073582bdf3 aura]$ pwd
/var/cache/aura
[colin@35073582bdf3 aura]$ ls
pkgbuilds  vcs

This checks out - aura automatically creates those folders if it notices them missing.

[colin@35073582bdf3 aura-bin]$ pwd
/var/cache/aura-bin
[colin@35073582bdf3 aura-bin]$ ls
pkgbuilds  src  states

Ah ha. These are the versions created by the installation process of aura-bin itself. The problem is then in aura-bin's PKGBUILD, there must be a pkgname variable being misused.

[fosskers]

I just released aura-3.1.6-2 onto the AUR with the path fixes. Could you test that out?

Aborting

So. IMO the easiest way to solve this is to remove PKGBUILD (or whole repo) somewhere in aura post-actions if "git clone" task failed.
Or just remove all repos from /var/cache/aura with some flag like -Ac or something, otherwise, we have to do it manually.

[fosskers]

Ok, I'm able to reproduce and have a proposed solution coming.

[fosskers]

I just released 3.1.7 with the proposed fix. Does it work for you?

Works for me.

[Quadronick]

Yeah.
