Arch User Repository (AUR) Packages for hale

Repository that contains AUR packages for hale-studio and hale-cli.

This repository is based on a template for maintaining Arch User Repository (AUR) packages automatically using Renovate. Check out my AUR packages repository to see it working.

How it works

Check out the breakdown on @JamieMagee's blog for a step-by-step walkthrough. The short version is:

1. Renovate will open PRs to update the pkgver
2. GitHub Actions will run updpkgsums and makepkg --printsrcinfo > .SRCINFO for each PR
3. When a PR is merged GitHub Actions will publish the package to the AUR (if you've configured the AUR_USERNAME, AUR_EMAIL and AUR_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY secrets).

Adding a new package

1. Add a new directory with the package name
2. Manually create your PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO
3. Add a comment after pkgver with the Renovate datasource and package name

pkgver=1.2.3 # renovate: datasource=github-tags depName=git/git

Working with packages locally

Each subfolder represents a package build. Change to the respective subfolder and use the following commands to update, build and install it.

How to update sha256sums

You can update the checksums automatically with:

updpkgsums

This will update the sha256sums array in your PKGBUILD in place.

Alternatively, to generate checksums manually:

makepkg -g

Then copy the output into the sha256sums array in the PKGBUILD.

How to build and install locally

1. Install base-devel and git if not already installed:

   sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel git

2. Clone this repository and enter the directory:

   git clone <this-repo-url>
   cd aur-hale-studio-bin

3. Build the package:

   makepkg -si

   • The -s flag installs missing dependencies.
   • The -i flag installs the package after building.

If you make changes to the PKGBUILD after building:

• You must rebuild the package for changes to take effect.
• If the package does not update, force a rebuild with:

  makepkg -fsi

  The -f (force) flag overwrites any existing package file and ensures a full rebuild.
• Alternatively, clean up old build files first:

  makepkg -C
  makepkg -si

How to update .SRCINFO

After making changes to the PKGBUILD, update the .SRCINFO file with:

makepkg --printsrcinfo > .SRCINFO

This ensures the AUR metadata is up to date and should be done before pushing changes to the AUR.

How to uninstall

To remove the package, use pacman:

sudo pacman -R hale-studio-bin
