PKGBUILDS

Automated -bin packages for the AUR, kept up to date by GitHub Actions.

Every 6 hours the update workflow checks each package's upstream for a new release. When one is found it:

  1. builds the software in an Arch Linux container,
  2. publishes the resulting install tree as a .tar.zst asset on a GitHub release of this repository (tag <pkgname>-<version>),
  3. updates the PKGBUILD (pkgver/pkgrel/sha256sums), test-builds it with makepkg and regenerates .SRCINFO,
  4. commits the changes back to this repository, and
  5. pushes PKGBUILD + .SRCINFO to the AUR.

The AUR packages themselves only download the prebuilt asset from step 2, so users don't need any build dependencies.

Packages

Package Upstream AUR
timetable-bin ostfriese4/untis — "Timetable", a GTK4 + LibAdwaita client for WebUntis timetable-bin

Setup (one-time)

  1. Create an AUR account and add an SSH public key to it (AUR account settings).
  2. Add the matching private key as a repository secret named AUR_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY (Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions → New repository secret).
  3. Optionally set the repository variables AUR_GIT_NAME and AUR_GIT_EMAIL to control the commit identity used on the AUR (defaults: Felitendo / 95575686+Felitendo@users.noreply.github.com).

The first push to ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/<pkgname>.git creates the AUR package automatically.

Adding a package

Create a new directory named after the AUR package containing:

  • PKGBUILD — sources the prebuilt asset from https://github.com/Felitendo/PKGBUILDS/releases/download/<pkgname>-<pkgver>/<pkgname>-<pkgver>.tar.zst. pkgver, pkgrel and sha256sums are maintained by CI.
  • pkg.sh — bash sourced by scripts/update-package.sh, providing:
    • BUILD_DEPS — array of Arch packages installed before building,
    • latest_version — prints the latest upstream version (no v prefix),
    • build_artifact <version> <output-file> — downloads/builds upstream and writes the install tree (a tarball containing usr/) to <output-file>.

The workflow discovers package directories automatically. Trigger a run manually via Actions → Update AUR packages → Run workflow to publish it immediately.
