I created ./.AURINFO which contains a single line:
pkgdesc = NVIDIA drivers for linux-ck.
I ran `makepkg --source` to gen the AUR package but found no traces of the .AURINFO file therein. Unsurprisingly, the AUR did not pickup on this when I uploaded the corresponding nvidia-ck-313.30-5.src.tar.gz package. Are users expected to manually add .AURINFO to the src.tar.gz post makepkg?
As you can guess from the name, .AURINFO is AUR specific. Thus it is not added by makepkg(8). You can add it manually -- make sure you put it into the subdirectory, though.
Of course, we aim at creating meta data automatically at some point, so feel free to come up with something that parses source packages, generates .AURINFO and adds them to the tarball.
Thanks, I get it. This definitely seems like something makepkg should detect and handle automatically Are the .AURINFO files here to stay?
