# PKGBUILDS
|
|
|
|
Automated AUR packages, kept up to date by GitHub Actions.
|
|
|
|
Every 6 hours the [update workflow](.github/workflows/update.yml) checks each
|
|
package's upstream for a new release. When one is found it:
|
|
|
|
1. updates the `PKGBUILD` (pkgver/pkgrel/sha256sums),
|
|
2. test-builds it with `makepkg` and regenerates `.SRCINFO`,
|
|
3. commits the changes back to this repository, and
|
|
4. pushes the package files to the AUR.
|
|
|
|
## Ground rule
|
|
|
|
**This repository never hosts a binary.** Every `PKGBUILD` sources what
|
|
*upstream* published — a release tarball, `.deb`, wheel or AppImage — and
|
|
either repackages it (`-bin`) or builds it (no suffix), exactly like any
|
|
hand-written AUR package would. CI only bumps `pkgver` and the checksums.
|
|
|
|
This is not a style preference. The
|
|
[AUR submission guidelines](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines#Rules_of_submission)
|
|
say:
|
|
|
|
> Packages that use **prebuilt** deliverables, when the sources are available,
|
|
> must use the `-bin` suffix. […] The AUR should not contain the binary
|
|
> tarball created by makepkg
|
|
|
|
A `-bin` package repackages what upstream ships. Building the software
|
|
yourself, publishing the result as a release asset and having the AUR
|
|
`PKGBUILD` download *that* makes this repository an unofficial binary
|
|
repository — users can no longer verify that the package matches what
|
|
upstream released. Packages set up that way were removed from the AUR in
|
|
July 2026; do not reintroduce the pattern.
|
|
|
|
If upstream ships no Linux binary, there are exactly two options: build from
|
|
source in the `PKGBUILD` (and drop the `-bin` suffix), or don't package it.

## Setup (one-time)
|
|
|
|
1. Create an [AUR account](https://aur.archlinux.org/register) 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 variable `AUR_GIT_NAME` and the repository
|
|
**secret** `AUR_GIT_EMAIL` to control the commit identity used on the AUR
|
|
(defaults: `Felitendo` / the maintainer's GitHub noreply address).
|
|
|
|
The first push to `ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/<pkgname>.git` creates the AUR
|
|
package automatically.
|
|
|
|
## Adding a package
|
|
|
|
Check first that upstream actually publishes a Linux binary, that the package
|
|
is not already in the **official repositories** (the AUR rejects the push
|
|
outright: "package already provided by [extra]"), and that the AUR does not
|
|
already carry an equivalent package — a `-bin` next to a maintained
|
|
source package is fine, a second copy of the same thing is not.
|
|
|
|
Then create a directory named after the AUR package containing:
|
|
|
|
- **`PKGBUILD`** — sources upstream's release URLs directly. `pkgver`,
|
|
`pkgrel` and `sha256sums` are maintained by CI, so keep `sha256sums` on a
|
|
single line.
|
|
- **`pkg.sh`** — bash sourced by [scripts/update-package.sh](scripts/update-package.sh),
|
|
defining:
|
|
- `latest_version` — prints the latest upstream version, no `v` prefix.
|
|
- `refresh_checksums <version> <pkgbuild-path>` — updates the `sha256sums*`
|
|
lines for that version. If the asset name carries build metadata that does
|
|
not follow from `pkgver` (see `snapx-bin`, `faugus-launcher-bin`), resolve
|
|
it via the GitHub API here and sync an `_asset` variable in the `PKGBUILD`
|
|
too.
|
|
- `BUILD_DEPS` — optional array of Arch packages to install before the CI
|
|
test build; only needed by packages that build from source.
|
|
|
|
Other local source files in the directory (`.desktop` files, patches, …) are
|
|
pushed to the AUR alongside `PKGBUILD` and `.SRCINFO`.
|
|
|
|
The workflow discovers package directories automatically. Trigger a run
|
|
manually via *Actions → Update AUR packages → Run workflow* to publish it
|
|
immediately.
