PKGBUILDs for the Arch User Repository

Additionally this repo includes control scripts for managing AUR packages.

The idea behind the structure of this repo

Commit PKGBUILDs in named subdirectories. Export them to the AUR with the included aurpublish script, using git subtrees. This preserves an independent history for third-party hosting and pull requests without losing the ability to manage all packages in one repo.

Commands

• Push or pull packages to or from the AUR using ./aurpublish [OPTIONS] PACKAGE(s)

-p, --pull <package(s)>      Pull changes or import a new package from the AUR
-g, --git '<git options>'    Pass additional options to git (in brackets)
-h, --help                   Show a help message

Git, which is invoked by aurpublish, needs to know with which ssh-key you would like to authenticate to the AUR server. Therefore you must either specify your key through the command line or alter you ssh-configuration accordingly - Refer to 'Adding ssh-config rules' for more details.

• Adding git-hooks (through bash)

for hook in $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/*.hook; do
    (cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"
        ln -s "../../$(basename ${hook})" ".git/hooks/$(basename ${hook%.hook})");
done

• Suggested: Adding ssh-config rules (to ~/.ssh/config)

Host aur aur.archlinux.org
    User aur
    Hostname aur.archlinux.org
    IdentityFile <PATH_TO_YOUR_AUR_KEY>

Hooks

• pre-commit

Reject whitespace errors, and auto-generate .SRCINFO for all changed PKGBUILDs.

• prepare-commit-msg

Prefill the commit message with a list of updated packages + versions (if any).
