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?
Why would you need to turn anything into `.tar.gz`? Are you thinking about a package? `makepkg` does that for you. Reading the PKGBUILD it seems like you haven't read all the relevant package guideline pages we provide. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Go_package_guidelines https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_package_guidelines#Git
####### PKGBUILD STARTS HERE ####### license=("MIT")
The license needs to be installed in `package()`.
arch=("any")
This isn't an "any" package as it contains compiled code. `x86_64` should be enough
makedepends=("git" "go" "npm")
Usually you want to build towards `go-pie` to provide PIE enabled binaries. But since it's an AUR package this isn't super important.
source=("git://github.com/usefathom/fathom.git")
You want "git+https://github.com....."
build(){ export GOPATH="$srcdir"/gopath cd $srcdir/$_gitname make build }
You need to cd into the complete gopath of the source.
package(){ echo "I don't know what to do now" }
Read any normal PKGBUILD from our repository or guidelines. It should be fairly obvious. You can also look at examples by taking a look at the PKGBUILDs from other go projects. Click on the ones listing `go-pie` as a "(make)" dependency. https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/go-pie/ -- Morten Linderud PGP: 9C02FF419FECBE16
