Ebuild fails (VERIFY FAILED) - Noctalia [Solved]

[Luke Gompertz]

Hi guys. I'm trying to make an ebuild for Noctalia (https://github.com/noctalia-dev/noctalia-shell). It should hopefully be quite simple since besides a couple dependencies, noctalia is just a set of config files.

I'm no expert on ebuilds so I was hoping to get some pointers on where I'm going wrong. When I tried to emerge my ebuild I got this error:

Code: Select all

!!! Fetched file: noctalia-latest.tar.gz VERIFY FAILED!
!!! Reason: Insufficient data for checksum verification
!!! Got:
!!! Expected: BLAKE2B BLAKE2S MD5 RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 SHA3_256 SHA3_512 SHA512 WHIRLPOOL

And here is my ebuild (/var/db/repos/local/gui-apps/noctalia/noctalia-9999.ebuild):

}

Thanks for any help!

Luke Gompertz,

You must generate a manifest, so that portage can validate all the bits.

Code: Select all

ebuild /path/to/.ebuild manifest

This will trust whatever is downloaded.

See also pkgdev and pkgcheck, which are tools to help with ebuilds.

Thank you! Some tweaks were required but that appears to have worked now . My ebuild is now like this:

My only comment here is don't use "latest" download. It will constantly error out with a manifest problem if this is ever distributed or the download cache is cleared.
Also, whenever you downloaded it is the release you will have until the cache is cleared.

This project has defined releases and you should point to the downloads at https://github.com/noctalia-dev/noctalia-shell/releases to avoid future problems. Make use of the PV ebuild variable to keep things simple.
