virtcode / serene-aur Goto Github PK

let's say I wanted to build adw-gtk-theme but it depends on adw-gtk3 that is only available in the AUR. I have adw-gtk3 added as a separate package and it built successfully but even after that adw-gtk3 still fails to build.

It would be nice if we could specify a custom docker socket to use via env variables with support for more than just unix sockets (like TCP). Would replacing Docker::connect_with_socket_defaults with Docker::connect_with_defaults be enough or am I missing something? I've looked at the code and it doesn't seem to do anything hacky so I don't see why this couldn't work.

the description of the project says

replace your aur helper with a self-hosted build server

so how about an install command to automate things a bit?
Let's say I want to install package foo. I would type something along the lines of serene install foo or serene i foo or serene -S foo, it would add the package, request a build, start displaying the live logs thanks to #5, if the build succeeds it would automatically invoke pacman to install the package from the serene repo.

I'm not sure how hackable paru is, and how open they would be towards an official integration, but if this could be integrated into paru it would be the ultimate way to build aur packages. And we would get things like a nice search, displaying the PKGBUILD, and a bunch of other nice to-haves for free.

I did a pacman -Qmq | xargs -i serene add {} and started getting a bunch of database is locked errors. The build server has relatively slow hard drives and when it starts building packages the disk responsiveness drops drastically resulting in multiple threads trying to access the database.

in my opinion the database being locked should not result in an error but the program should wait for the pending queries to complete. Are you perhaps opening and closing the database on every connection? If so, consider opening the database once and then passing around the existing connection to avoid such errors.
