AUR PKGBUILDs

A collection of PKGBUILDs for packages I maintain in the Arch User Repository (AUR).

About

This repository contains build scripts and configuration files for 20+ packages in the AUR, including development tools, Python libraries, games, and system utilities. Each package is organized as a git submodule linked to its corresponding AUR repository, enabling streamlined maintenance and automated workflows.

Package Categories

• Development Tools: htmlhint, micromamba, rapidyaml, arduino-avr-core
• Python Libraries: python-conda, python-libmamba, python-abydos, python-hunspell, and more
• System Utilities: netclient, nmctl, rot8-git, gnome-shell-extension-panel-osd
• Games: openmohaa, openmohaa-git
• Applications: alist, outwiker, proton-pass-bin, stable-diffusion-cpp-vulkan-git

Features

• Automated Build System: Docker-based builds for consistent packaging
• Submodule Management: Synchronized git submodules for each AUR package
• Makefile Automation: Simple commands for common maintenance tasks
• Batch Operations: Clone, build, and update multiple packages at once
• GitHub Actions: Automated git package updates with AUR integration

Usage: Makefile Commands

This repository provides a Makefile to automate common package maintenance tasks. Below are the most useful commands:

Clone and Sync Packages

Clone and sync a single package from its submodule:

make clone PKG=<package-name>
# Example:
make clone PKG=alist

Add CLEAN=true to remove any temporary directories:

make clone PKG=alist CLEAN=true

Clone and sync all packages:

make clone-all
# Or with cleanup:
make clone-all CLEAN=true

Build and Run in Docker

Build and run a package in Docker (if a Dockerfile is present):

make aur-build PKG=<package-name>
# Example:
make aur-build PKG=alist

Submodule Management

Initialize all submodules:

make init-submodules

Update all submodules to the latest commit:

make update-aur-repos

Clean Temporary Files

Clean up temporary files and directories:

make clean

Help

Show all available commands:

make help

Prerequisites

• Linux, macOS, or WSL
• Git with submodule support
• Docker (for containerized builds)
• SSH access to AUR (for maintainers)

Advanced Usage

You can also call the scripts in scripts/ directly for advanced usage:

# Clone a specific package
./scripts/clone.sh <package-name>

# Build in Docker
./scripts/aur-build.sh <package-name>

# Update all AUR repositories
./scripts/pull_all_repos.sh

# Test git package updates locally
./scripts/test-git-update.sh <package-name>

# Setup AUR SSH keys for GitHub Actions
./scripts/setup-aur-ssh.sh

See the Makefile or run make help for more details.

GitHub Actions

This repository includes automated workflows for maintaining packages:

Automated Git Package Updates

The update-git-packages.yml workflow automatically:

• Builds git packages in Docker containers
• Updates PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO files with latest versions
• Commits changes to this repository
• Pushes updates to AUR (if configured)

Automated GitHub Package Updates

The update-github-packages.yml workflow automatically:

• Checks for new versions of GitHub-hosted packages using aurvt
• Only builds packages when new versions are detected
• Updates PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO files with latest versions
• Commits changes to this repository
• Pushes updates to AUR (if configured)

Setup:

1. Run ./scripts/setup-aur-ssh.sh to generate SSH keys
2. Add the public key to your AUR account
3. Add AUR_USERNAME and AUR_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY secrets to GitHub
4. Git packages workflow runs daily at 2 AM UTC
5. GitHub packages workflow runs daily at 3 AM UTC

Manual Execution:

• Go to Actions tab → "Update Git Packages" or "Update GitHub Packages" → "Run workflow"
• Optionally specify a single package name

For detailed setup instructions, see .github/workflows/README.md.
