Hello AUR users,
First I'm glad to see that AUR now switches to a git-based package system. I'm always interested in what are changed for an AUR package. Before AUR4, such an information is generally not available unless the submitter leaves a comment.
Now I'd like to talk about my scenario. Before AUR4, I maintain a single git repo for all packages. I need to re-upload all my packages now. There are several handy utilities listed at the AUR wiki [1]. Among them, "import-to-aur4" seems suitable for those who use git repos before AUR4. However, import-to-aur4.sh does not meet my need:
1. It's designed for aur-dev rather than aur4. The workflow is slightly different. 2. Looks like it's a one-time script rather than for long-term use. (See the example usage below)
Is there an existing tool that can read individual packages from a single repo and push it to AUR4? A use case can be:
$ vim python-foobar/PKGBUILD $ git commit -a -m "python-foobar: Update to version x.y.z" $ ./push-package-to-aur4.sh python-foobar
push-package-to-aur4.sh reads from local repo, creates the repo remotely if necessary and pushes PKGBUILD, .SRCINFO, and other source files.
Hope my descriptions are clear enough :)
Best regards,

Yes, I've been fiddling around with exactly that.
Check out https://github.com/eli-schwartz/pkgbuilds to see how I've done it -- I decided to use a subtree push to export per-package folders from a master repository to the AUR per-package repositories.
I also have a few githooks for auto-generating .SRCINFO, suggesting a commit message, and auto-generating aurballs for the transitional period where we need to support the old and new AUR interfaces. The `aurpublish` script handles creating and pushing packages.
Suggestions are welcome. :)

Thanks for the awesome tool! I've encoutered "missing .SRCINFO in commit xxx" error, while it's another problem. Yen Chi Hsuan
