[aur-general] Packaging a go application
by Rhys Perry 07 Sep '19

07 Sep '19

Hi, I am currently trying to package an application for use in the aur. The problem I am having is the install() section. The only thing i need to be done is for the package to move '$srcdir/$_gitname/fathom' into '/bin/'. How would I turn that into a .tar.gz? Sorry if my question doesn't make sense, but here is my current PKGBUILD (it is not finished as I can't seem to get git to provide a version) ####### PKGBUILD STARTS HERE ####### pkgname="fathom-git" pkgrel=1 pkgver="i.dont.know.what.to.put.here" pkgdesc="Fathom - simple website analytics (Community Edition)" url="https://github.com/usefathom/fathom" license=("MIT") arch=("any") provides=("fathom") conflicts=("fathom") makedepends=("git" "go" "npm") source=("git://github.com/usefathom/fathom.git") md5sums=("SKIP") _gitname="fathom" prepare(){ mkdir -p gopath/src/github.com/usefathom ln -rTsf $_gitname gopath/src/github.com/usefathom/fathom export GOPATH="$srcdir"/gopath } build(){ export GOPATH="$srcdir"/gopath cd $srcdir/$_gitname make build } package(){ echo "I don't know what to do now" } ####### PKGBUILD ENDS HERE ###### Also, if you have any problems with other things in the PKGBUILD then please feel free to give me tips on better ways to do them. Yours sincerely, Rhys Perry

[aur-general] Followup on comaintainers and maintainers help requests
by Sapphira Armageddos 05 Sep '19

05 Sep '19

(( the following post is a cross post of the forum post here - https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1861865 )) Since making the previous post about retiring my AUR account, the following occurred to me. * I still like doing AUR work. But it's not something I can reliably provide like before. So I'm not sure how to handle being able to do it on the sidelines without making myself seem unavailable on purpose. * People might not be willing to pick up a package after it's been orphaned due to not knowing the maintenance problems I've had with some packages in the past. * Some packages might not be used enough to know when the sources are broken, thus needing updating. * Some packages required maintenance from upstream developers due to no one else being available to maintain it. So I've compiled a list of packages that need co-maintainers, those that I've kept due to low maintenance time, and those that are potentially orphanable due to maintenance circumstances. This list can be found here. https://write.as/l15zfw3838y89q0c.md Is there anything else I should do to make it easier for future maintainers to help ease their workload?

Good day, Please find attached the updated disklow PKGBUILD. Notable changes: source() tarball now on source server where it belongs, added a landing page for url(), and using sha256sums() for checksumming. Let me know if this latest version is passing the quality bar for introduction to AUR. Many thanks, Holger

I apologize for sending a personal email regarding packages I wish to adopt. I didn't read the OP close enough. I am willing to adopt * python-gitchangelog * craft-git My AUR username is the same as my email, WSDMatty.
