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 _tag and pkgver when you publish a new release tag.
• Update sha256sums to 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)

1. Create an AUR account and submit the deskify-bin package once via the AUR web UI.
2. Configure SSH for AUR and test connectivity.
3. Clone the AUR repo, copy PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO, then push.

Example:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/aur -C "deskify-aur"
# Add ~/.ssh/aur.pub to: aur.archlinux.org -> My Account -> SSH Keys

cat >> ~/.ssh/config <<'EOF'
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

git add PKGBUILD .SRCINFO
git commit -m "Initial release: deskify-bin"
git push

CI publish on tags

This repo includes a workflow that publishes deskify-bin on tag pushes (v*):

• .github/workflows/aur-publish.yml

Required GitHub secrets:

• AUR_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY (private key content for the AUR account)
• AUR_USERNAME (optional, used for git commits)
• AUR_EMAIL (optional, used for git commits)
