Helps with editing Archlinux's PKGBUILD files, as well as launching makepkg commands.

Author: M Rawash

Usage

Commands

Currently there are 5 available commands:

• Prepare: launches makepkg -g for currently opened PKGBUILD. (keychain: alt+l+p)
• Build: launches makepkg -f for currently opened PKGBUILD. (keychain: alt+l+b)
• Install: launches makepkg -i for currently opened PKGBUILD. (keychain: alt+l+i)
• Source: launches makepkg --source -f for currently opened PKGBUILD. (keychain: alt+l+s)
• Clean: launches rm -r {src,pkg,*pkg.tar.{gz,xz}} in the parent directory of the currently opened PKGBUILD. (keychain: alt+l+r)

Note: due to the limits of io.popen in lua, I've introduced another function that will launch commands in a terminal window, to use this function, add use_term=1 in your global, user, or pkgbuild own init.lua file; you can change the default terminal (i.e. xterm) or how it's executed using the variables term_cmd and exec_cmd (both optional), example:

use_term = 1
term_cmd='gnome-terminal -t "makepkg" -e '
function exec_cmd(cmd)
  os.execute(term_cmd..'\"'..cmd..'\" &')
end
