AUR packages

To avoid forgetting to update .SRCINFO, be sure to add the pre-push hooks, as shown in the commands below.

Initial clone of `aur-packages`

On the first clone of aur-packages, run ./init to initialize the packages properly.

Management

Making quick commits

To make a quick commit within a package, do:

git commit -m `../../getpkgver`

Staging changes for testing on GitHub Actions

../../buildpkg

Cloning new or existing packages

./clone-aur ⟨pkgname⟩

This will automatically add the package to packages.conf and set up the pre-push hooks.

Updating dependency trees of Cabal packages

Install $pkg manually with the updated deps:

set -eux

pkg=my-package
ghc_ver=8.10
ghc_ver_full=8.10.4

yay -S --needed cabal-install "ghc$ghc_ver"
cabal update
boot_pkg_db=$(pacman -Ql ghc8.10 | grep /usr/lib/ghc | head -n 1 | cut -d " " -f 2)
echo --boot-pkg-db="$boot_pkg_db"

tmpdir=`mktemp -d`
(
    cd "$tmpdir"
    cabal get gitit
    echo "packages: */*.cabal
with-compiler: ghc-$ghc_ver" >cabal.project
    cabal freeze
)

# update the PKGBUILD
./upd-hs-src --boot-pkg-db=/usr/lib/ghc-$ghc_ver_full/package.conf.d "$pkg" "$tmpdir/cabal.project.freeze" "pkg/$pkg/PKGBUILD"

Finally, bump the pkgver and then run updpkgsums.

Google Font packages

If you want this package to be managed by aur-packages, first do a [clone](#Cloning repositories). Otherwise, skip this step.
Edit google-font-pkgs.conf, if necessary.
Run ./pkg-google-font in the top level directory of this repository.
If you did step 1, now is the time to go into ttf-⟨name⟩-gf and commit the files.

Updating

To do updates, just run ./pkg-google-font ⟨name⟩…, then check if anything needs to be committed:

for d in pkg/ttf-*; do ( cd "$d" && printf "\n=== %s ===\n\n" "$d" && git status ); done

Meta packages

Use this template:

# Maintainer: none
pkgname=⟨pkgname⟩
pkgver=latest
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc='Meta package'
arch=(any)
url=about:blank
license=(custom:PublicDomain)
depends=(⟨packages⟩)
#provides=() #optional
