Why not host the PKGBUILD in AUR ?

IkaSek commented 3 years ago

would seem like an good idea, but you know... there exist AUR rules, and i think it's breaking it.

The AUR disallows interactive scripts afaik. I don't know about cfg files, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're disallowed too. So because his scripts don't conform to their rules TkG is better off doing what he's been doing by self hosting.

I doubt the GPL 'patch' would be accepted on the AUR too

I don't think that would be a problem. People apply unofficial patches all the time in AUR packages. The big thing is the interactivity because they want you to have to edit the PKGBUILD to change configuration options I think because it forces you to inspect the PKGBUILD for malicious code which they recommend to be standard practice.

It's not because it's a patch, it's because it circumvents licencing and copyrights
