# PKGBUILDS
|
|
|
|
Automated `-bin` packages for the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org), 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. 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,
|
|
5. pushes `PKGBUILD` + `.SRCINFO` to the AUR, and
|
|
6. deletes the package's superseded releases (older versions, tag included).
|
|
|
|
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](https://codeberg.org/ostfriese4/untis) — "Timetable", a GTK4 + LibAdwaita client for WebUntis | [timetable-bin](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/timetable-bin) |
|
|
| `fluxer-bin` | [fluxer.app](https://fluxer.app) — Fluxer desktop client (Electron) | [fluxer-bin](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fluxer-bin) |
|
|
| `chromium-widevine-helper-bin` | [GloriousEggroll/chromium-widevine-helper](https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/chromium-widevine-helper) — extension + native helper installing Google's Widevine CDM into Chromium-based browser profiles | [chromium-widevine-helper-bin](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chromium-widevine-helper-bin) |
|
|
| `sharpemu-bin` | [sharpemu/sharpemu](https://github.com/sharpemu/sharpemu) — experimental PlayStation 5 emulator | [sharpemu-bin](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sharpemu-bin) |
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
|
|
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](scripts/update-package.sh).
|
|
Always provides `latest_version` (prints the latest upstream version, no
|
|
`v` prefix), plus one of two modes:
|
|
- *upstream has no binaries* (e.g. `timetable-bin`): define
|
|
`build_artifact <version> <output-file>` (build upstream and write the
|
|
install tree as a tarball containing `usr/`) and `BUILD_DEPS` (array of
|
|
Arch packages needed to build). CI hosts the result as a GitHub release
|
|
asset which the PKGBUILD downloads.
|
|
- *upstream hosts binaries* (e.g. `fluxer-bin`): define
|
|
`refresh_checksums <version> <pkgbuild-path>` which updates the
|
|
`sha256sums*` lines for the new version. The PKGBUILD sources upstream
|
|
URLs directly and nothing is hosted here.
|
|
|
|
Other local source files in the directory (`.desktop` files, etc.) 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.
