PKGBUILDs for Arch Linux

This repository contains packages for Arch Linux. These packages are also published in the AUR.

Installation

I'm using aurpublish to maintain this repository.

git clone [email protected]:schra/pkgbuilds.git
cd pkgbuilds
aurpublish setup

Updating packages

  1. Adjust the PKGBUILD

  2. Update the hash values: updpkgsums PKGBUILD

  3. Build, install and manually test if the package works: makepkg -scfi

  4. Commit the PKGBUILD. aurpublish will prefill the commit message. In most cases you can just leave the commit message like that.

    cd PACKAGE/
git add PKGBUILD
git commit

  5. Push the package to both the AUR and this repository

    aurpublish PACKAGE
git push

Some remarks

  • If possible, I always provide both the Git and non-Git packages.

  • All Git packages need to:

    • Have conflicts and provides entries that point to the non-Git package equivalent.
    • Have a pkgver function, so that the pkgver variable gets updated automatically.

  • I try to keep the diff between the Git and non-Git PKGBUILDs as small as possible. That's why I always define the _name and _mainfolder variables:

    • _name is the package name without the -git suffix (if there is any). It is used to install files in the file system in package(). Never use pkgname in package(), only use it in source.
    • _mainfolder is the folder that contains the source code. For Git packages this is the repository name. For non-Git packages it is the name of the folder inside the tar ball (normally tar balls contain exactly one directory which then contains the actual content). Use _mainfolder when using cd.
