This is a monorepo containing multiple AUR packages. Since AUR requires a git-based workflow and there is one repository per package, we use git subtree to manage all packages in this combined monorepo.
To update a package that is already within this monorepo, simply make and commit your changes to the corresponding PKGBUILD. Don't forget to run makepkg --printsrcinfo > .SRCINFO and commit the change to .SRCINFO (otherwise the update will not be recognized by the AUR). To push the changes for a package called <pkgname> to the AUR, run the following command:
git subtree push --prefix=<pkgname> ssh://[email protected]/<pkgname>.git master
Alternatively, you can use the push_all.sh script in this repo to push all packages.
Note that you need to be the maintainer of the package and authenticate via ssh in order to push the package updates to the AUR.
Adding a completely new package is a bit more complicated. First, you need to create the AUR repository using this command:
git -c init.defaultbranch=master clone ssh://[email protected]/<pkgname>.git tmp
This will initialize an empty repository and clone it into tmp/. The clone is actually not needed and we can remove it with rm -r tmp.
Once the upstream repository is initialized, you can push the corresponding PKGBUILD. This assumes that you have already created a subdirectory <pkgname> with a PKGBUILD and an up-to-date .SRCINFO file, and committed those changes in the main monorepo. The following commands create a new subtree and push the changes to the newly created AUR repository:
git subtree split --prefix <pkgname> --branch <pkgname>
git push ssh://[email protected]/<pkgname>.git <pkgname>:master
