PKGBUILD review request for displaylink-runit
Hi all, I'm working on this PKGBUILD to provide a displaylink-runit service. I use an Artix based distro using runit instead of systemD as the init system. Before I publish this, please review this. I have posted the link to my PR to a few Linux communities and I have addressed their comments, so hopefully that takes care of my small mistakes haha. If you have the hardware to test, that would be great! https://github.com/e-dong/aur-displaylink-runit/pull/1 References: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/displaylink https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DisplayLink Best, Eric

Hi all, Hi Eric!

Before I publish this, please review this. [...] The AUR is meant for Arch Linux only (derivatives not included).
As such, a package specifically made for derivatives (like this one, made to be used with the runit init system) is not allowed on the AUR. Hopefully you'll get the reviews and tests you're expecting, but if you want this package/PKGBUILD to be accessible publicly, you'll have to upload it somewhere else than the AUR.
Best, Eric

On the other hand runit is available from aur and archwiki describres how to use it alongside systemd . Eric, if your package will work on archlinux with runit running as PID 1 it would not violate any AUR rules. Lone_Wolf

Indeed, thanks for the precision. I initially replied that because Eric specifically said coming from Artix (which isn't covered by the AUR), but if the package indeed works with vanilla Arch with the above condition, then it would be okay.
