From 0803bb3d85ff284e7aa3239c296ed8895746f93e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Runge Date: Wed, 6 Apr 2022 14:59:13 +0200 Subject: Fix typos in packaging article posts/2022/packaging-for-arch-linux.rst: Replace instances of `install()` and `install_` with `package()`/ `package_` which was copy/pasted around due to a typo. Make clear that one of the checksum algorithms (or all of them) can be used. --- posts/2022/packaging-for-arch-linux.rst | 23 ++++++++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/posts/2022/packaging-for-arch-linux.rst b/posts/2022/packaging-for-arch-linux.rst index 4975454..9b2e2f1 100644 --- a/posts/2022/packaging-for-arch-linux.rst +++ b/posts/2022/packaging-for-arch-linux.rst @@ -228,7 +228,7 @@ files, that can be found in ``/usr/share/pacman/``: source=(https://my-upstream.link/to/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz) b2sums=('THISISADUMMYCHECKSUM') - install() { + package() { make DESTDIR="$pgkdir" install -C $pkgname-$pkgver } @@ -256,7 +256,7 @@ that we have a project using |make| to install a few files: - ``license``: The licenses that apply to the project.
