Giovanni Santini's ArchLinux packages

Here are all the AUR packages maintained by me ;)

The equivalent AUR search is:

Comaintaining

Are you a comaintainer and want to start quickly to hack stuff? Then here is what you should do.

(I assume here we already talked about stuff & I checked that you actually know what we are talking about ;) )

Setup

Before hacking the packages, you need to get some stuff right:

Fetch this repository via:

git clone https://github.com/ItachiSan/linux_packaging.git /path/to/my_local_copy

Update the submodules:

git submodule update --init

If you want to work on a specific submodule or a set, just provide it as parameted:

# Set up only the po-debconf submodule
git submodule update --init po-debconf
# Set up only the telegram-destkop submodules
git submodule update --init telegram-desktop*

Install the provided Git hooks with:

./hooks/install.sh

These are required for correctly generating the commits.

Check for missing updates

Just run the tool:

./tools/check_updates.sh

You should have a private Github access token to guarantee consistent API calls, see the consideration here.

Updating a package

Now you are practically ready to go: if you want to update the packages, the way is simple:

Enter the package folder
Edit the PKGBUILD with any editor you like.

IMPORTANT: packaging-only changes increase only the pkgrel, only upstream version changes increase pkgver.
updpkgsums
Build the package, to verify all is working
Commit the changes; the message will be initially formatted with the repository standard. Just add the list of changes with a list, for example:
```
# This is already here
updpkg: APACKAGE 1.2.3-4

# Then you add lines like:
- Version bump.
- Improvements to PKGBUILD.
- ...
```
The list should mention all the actual changes.
