AUR package template (manual + CI)
This folder contains a minimal PKGBUILD template for a future AUR package:
deskify-bin(prebuilt GitHub Releases binary)
Notes:
- Update
_tagandpkgverwhen you publish a new release tag. - Update
sha256sumsto match the release asset + LICENSE for that tag.
Local build test
cd packaging
makepkg -sf
To compute sha256 sums for a tag:
TAG="v0.1.0-alpha.7"
curl -fL -o /tmp/deskify-linux-x86_64 "https://github.com/spalencsar/deskify/releases/download/${TAG}/deskify-linux-x86_64"
curl -fL -o /tmp/LICENSE "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spalencsar/deskify/${TAG}/LICENSE"
sha256sum /tmp/deskify-linux-x86_64 /tmp/LICENSE
Manual AUR publish (first time)
- Create an AUR account and submit the
deskify-binpackage once via the AUR web UI. - Configure SSH for AUR and test connectivity.
- Clone the AUR repo, copy
PKGBUILDand.SRCINFO, then push.

Host aur.archlinux.org
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/aur
User aur
EOF
ssh -T aur@aur.archlinux.org
git clone ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/deskify-bin.git
cd deskify-bin
cp /path/to/deskify/packaging/PKGBUILD .
makepkg --printsrcinfo > .SRCINFO
