update-package.sh no longer builds anything or publishes GitHub release
assets: every package now tracks an upstream deliverable, so the only work
left on a new version is pkgver + checksums. BUILD_DEPS survives for the
CI test build of packages that compile in the PKGBUILD.
Removes the seven packages that cannot be made compliant: upstream ships no
Linux binary to point at, and a maintained source package for each already
exists in the AUR, so a rebuilt version would just be a duplicate.
gearlever-bin, gnome-network-displays-bin, librepods-bin, planify-bin,
protonplus-bin, thonny-bin, trayscale-bin
README documents the rule and why, so the pattern does not come back.
The AUR does not allow packages to ship a binary tarball built by the
maintainer - a -bin package must repackage a deliverable published by
upstream. These six packages now do that:
snapx-bin upstream's self-contained Linux tar.zst
zapzap-bin upstream's pure-Python wheel
faugus-launcher-bin upstream's arch-independent .deb
wiiudownloader-bin upstream's AppImage
waydroid-helper-bin upstream's AppImage
chiaki-ng-bin upstream's AppImage
All six drop build_artifact() and switch to refresh_checksums(), so CI no
longer builds or hosts anything - it only tracks upstream's assets.
Where the asset name carries build metadata that does not follow from
pkgver (snapx, faugus-launcher), refresh_checksums() resolves it via the
GitHub API and syncs an _asset variable in the PKGBUILD.
Dependency lists are re-derived from what the bundles actually resolve
outside themselves; the AppImage payloads land in /opt with wrappers in
/usr/bin, because their entry points resolve paths relative to argv[0].
Upstream moved to an "ow" electron-updater channel with a filename
suffix; latest_version checks both channels (vercmp picks the winner) and
refresh_checksums keeps the _appimage filename in sync. Also clean up
downloaded .AppImage files like the other source leftovers.
Artifact rebuilds (e.g. dependency bundling) change the file behind
<pkg>-<ver>.tar.zst while keeping its name, so users with the previous
file in their AUR helper cache hit a checksum mismatch. Naming the local
download <pkg>-<ver>-<rel>.tar.zst makes every rebuild a fresh file.
gearlever-bin: ship ftputil + desktop-entry-lib inside /usr/share/gearlever
(pinned via upstream requirements.txt) instead of depending on the AUR
packages.
bottles-bin: build the fvs2 CLI (with its core library) from source and
bundle it under /usr/lib/bottles (Bottles patched to use that path), and
ship patool, pathvalidate and vkbasalt-cli in /usr/share/bottles. vkbasalt
becomes an optdepend. Installing either package now needs no AUR builds.
