ArchLinux package for unFTP

[hannesdejager]

The package source can be saved under the packaging directory e.g. packaging/pacman or packaging/arch

Where to save?

I created an AUR package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/unftp, source here: https://github.com/Aetf/PKGBUILDs/tree/master/unftp

Haven't created a PR yet as I'm not sure how unftp wants to handle version updates. Maybe also use aurpublish and git subtree?

Very nice @Aetf . What benefit would git subtree have over just including it as normal code in the packaging directory?

[Aetf]

Archlinux AUR is one git repository per package (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines#Publishing_new_package_content).

I use git subtree for all AUR packages I manage, as it keeps a single copy of clean history in both the main repo (https://github.com/Aetf/PKGBUILDs) and each individual package repo.

But I guess it's also fine to include as normal files here in unftp repo, depending on how you plan to manage release and updates. Anyway it will be one extra step in release to push to aur package repo.
