aurpkgs

Package sources for all the Arch User Repository (AUR) packages I maintain or co-maintain.

Packaging Methodology

I try my best to follow the packaging guidelines as documented by:

• https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_package_guidelines
• https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_package_guidelines/Security
• https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/creating_packages

Additionally, my goal is take advantage of tooling as much as possible. My main work horse is a custom aurutils command, aur-commit from carlsmedstad/aurutils-extra, which performs a number of checks in addition to building packages.

Checking for New Versions

All packages, except those in .nvcheckerignore, contain a .nvchecker.toml file and new version can as such be discovered using nvchecker. To check for new versions, run:

make check-versions

NOTE: This functionality relies on an as-of-yet unreleased version of pkgctl from devtools

Structure of this Repository

While there are great tools for maintaining super repositories for AUR packages, for example aurpublish, none of them caught my liking. As such I wrote my own, aur-sync-super-repo from carlsmedstad/aurutils-extra with the following characteristics:

• Intentionally exclude the ability push changes to packages from within the super repository. I prefer to work in the standalone package repositories and use this repository mostly for sharing my PKGBUILDs.

• Simple and linear commit history. I don't have the need to be able to track all the changes to individual packages in this repository and prefer to keep the commit history clean.

Updates to this repository are currently done manually (semi-regularly) by executing the following:

make sync
