[SOLVED] AUR4 missing mandatory field: pkgver

Question

This is the PKGBUILD
# Maintainer: AudioLinux <audiolinux AT fastmail DOT fm>

pkgname=unified-remote-server
pkgrel=3
pkgdesc="Unified Remote Server"

package() {
cd ${srcdir}
# decompress data
tar zxf data.tar.gz
# fix and revert desktop file to old behaviour
sed -i -e '9,24d;26d' $(find . -name 'urserver.desktop')
# install folders
mkdir -p ${pkgdir}/{opt,usr}
cp -r {opt,usr} "${pkgdir}/"
# clean up permissions
find "${pkgdir}" -type d | xargs -I {} chmod -R 755 "{}"
find "${pkgdir}" -type f | xargs -I {} chmod -R 644 "{}"
chmod 755 "${pkgdir}/opt/urserver/urserver"
chmod 755 "${pkgdir}/opt/urserver/urserver-start"
chmod 755 "${pkgdir}/opt/urserver/urserver-stop"
# add systemd service
install -Dm644 "urserver.service" "$pkgdir/usr/lib/systemd/system/urserver.service"
And this is the error when uploading:

If I change the PKGBUILD with pkgver out of if/test I have the same error...

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure AUR doesn't support packages that have different versions per architecture, I also wonder why the developer thinks this is a good idea. Anyway, as described here you should use source_$ARCH and sha256sums_$ARCH, not custom-if statements
