Yay: PACKAGER should have the format 'Example Name <[email protected]>'

Created on 24 Oct 2019  路  4Comments  路  Source: Jguer/yay

_when installing packages from AUR using YAY constantly gives
a lot of warning:_
==> WARNING: PACKAGER should have the format 'Example Name email@address.invalid'

2019-10-24_07-41

Packages from the repository are installed normally, but warnings constantly appear.
Please tell me what these warnings are and how to remove them?

I'm getting the same messages after recent yay update.

Those are messages from makepkg after recent pacman update. Set PACKAGER in /etc/makepkg.conf to remove those warnings.

From https://git.archlinux.org/pacman.git/tree/NEWS

  • add routine for linting $PACKAGER to check that it has a
    valid name and email address, and document the desired format
    in makepkg.conf(5)

Same problem when I try to makepg yay from git... :)
