[Feature 🚀]: AUR package for Arch Linux about kuro

[btasdelen]

Alright, I will be of service to keep this nice package alive and kicking.

To respect your branding, I will create a new package named kuro. I already prepared a PKGBUILD using your Arch Linux packaging (.pacman file), I hope it will work. I will let ao package stay for a couple of weeks, warning the users to switch to kuro package, as ao will be deleted.

Hey 👋 I'm not a very experienced Arch user, I thought the pacman package would suffice as in my experience with Arch was easier to install pacman than AUR.
I've picked up some articles and this seems feasible, so I'll work on adding an AUR package when I have the time, but if someone wants to have a go at it, feel free 👍

[davidsmorais]

@MaaxGr Indeed 👇

I need to get around to publish Kuro in AUR, but I don't use Arch Linux and I've had a little difficulty trying to set up the publishing environment. Hopefully in the next weeks I'll take care of this

Hi, tugyan had uploaded an AUR package kuro which build from source.

BTW, please refer nvcheck and aurpublish if you want to update AUR package per release.

[MaaxGr]

isn't this your AUR package? https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ao

[davidsmorais]

@MaaxGr No, it is not 😞
I'll try to tackle this and other stores in the coming weeks

[MaaxGr]

So someone else is just using your upstream? :D

package() {
    install -Dm755 ${_pkgname} "${pkgdir}/${_installdir}/Kuro.AppImage"
    install -Dm644 "squashfs-root/usr/share/icons/hicolor/1024x1024/apps/kuro.png" "${pkgdir}/usr/share/icons/hicolor/1024x1024/apps/kuro-appimage.png"

    install -Dm644 "squashfs-root/kuro.desktop" "${pkgdir}/usr/share/applications/kuro-appimage.desktop"
}

this PKGBUILD file may helps.

but version 8.1.3 doesn't work, you can change pkgver to 8.1.0( #37 ) and change _pkgname from Kuro-${pkgver}.AppImage to Kuro.${pkgver}.AppImage. then, just run makepkg -sri and it works.

@davidsmorais if you can name the package with a fixed naming scheme, then after you release an update , you just need to change the version number here then update the sha512 value and push it to the AUR.

i'd like to become the AUR package maintainer but i have my own works to do... so i'm sorry for that.

[Reverier-Xu]

Published kuro-appimage in AUR.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kuro-appimage

paru -S kuro-appimage

or

yay -S kuro-appimage

[btasdelen]

@MaaxGr @davidsmorais As far as I know, there is nothing wrong with someone else 'using your upstream', nowhere in the package I claim the ownership of the upstream. I did not even wrote the original PKGBUILD, I am just maintaining it, because I am personally using Kuro.

That being said, I will happily transfer the ownership to you. I do not like the package being named ao, but migration will mean inconveniencing the current user base of the package.

@Reverier-Xu Although appimage version will have its own uses, I believe there should also be a package using the .pacman file. Current PKGBUILD I am using utilizes .deb file, which is suboptimal.

[davidsmorais]

Hey @bilal-tasdelen 👋

When I forked Ao, my intention was to get it working to as many Linux users as possible, so I thank you for changing Ao's upstream to Kuro👌 I also have no problem at all with you keeping ownership of the current Ao AUR package or even open a new one for Kuro.
But it's like I said before, I don't have much experience with Arch, so I'm cool if someone else wants to help deploy this to AUR in any format, while I don't get around to it 😓

[davidsmorais]

Thank you ❤️

Thanks for publishing packages on AUR. You even have an App-image over there, which is great, because it installs on my Manjaro system without hitch.
Could you maybe update the App-image on AUR to the newest version?

I apologize for the late reply, I'm infected with the covid-19 these days. I will update the newest version to AUR now. I don't have much time to spend on maintaining the package, so I can transfer the maintenance of this package to someone if it want to take over the maintenance.

[davidsmorais]

Thanks @Reverier-Xu 🙏 I've also been busy with life affairs, will try to figure out how to work with AUR in my Debian based OS and possibly add a manual deployment script so I can update the AUR package whenever I release a new version here/Snap.
