Archlinux AUR package

Closed this issue a year ago · 6 comments

I'm interested in the creation of a AUR arch linux package to simplify the installation and upgrade. (to have every packages in one place)
If you are OK, I can create the AUR package.

I'm absolutely okay with that. Please do. 😄

I created a tag for 0.2.6. In case of future updates, we can have the AUR package track the tags.

For starter I created a -git package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pads-git
Idk how it works to update it, I think since it's cloning from github, the package doesn't need update for the content, but still need update for the version.
So for the -git package and the non -git package we will probably need a github action of some kind that publish to the AUR.
It's my second time publishing to AUR, the first time was for a simple font, so I don't really known how to handle it.

I'm not very familiar with publishing to AUR either, but I'll do some reading this evening and see if we can figure something out. Thank you.

I got a Github action working to run cargo aur successfully, but I don't know that we're going to be able to automate updating an AUR package as it requires using an SSH keypair tied to a user account.

I have some other things that could benefit from AUR builds. Going to close this for now and circle back after investigating a good method for automating the process.
