Happy Christmas!

Tried to download your repo and build but my way fails.

$ makepkg -sfi ==> Making package: rpmtoarch 1.0.0_1big-3 (Sun 26 Dec 2021 08:57:43 GMT) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> Retrieving sources... ==> ERROR: /home/[....]/Downloads/Git/rpmtoarch/rpmtoarch is not a clone of https://gitlab.com/biglinux/rpmtoarch.git Aborting...
Same error with just $ makepkg

I've looked at the file structure but don't understand why it includes a second rpmtoarch directory and a src directory. No help in README.MD

I would like to build and install - how do I do this?

Many thanks

R

I'm back to github: https://github.com/biglinux/rpmtoarch

All the makepkg really do is copy to same folder in system like /usr/bin/rpmtoarch and add dependencies

@bigbruno could you please kindly provide clear step-by-step instructions, please see biglinux/rpmtoarch#2

thank you very much!
who made this..
just save my life!
