Building for the AUR

[kyledolichev]

Hi, I'd like to build your app for the AUR, but I am unsure of how exactly to package this app.

so far this is what I've got

pkgname=Winds
pkgver=2.1.143
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc='Podcasts and RSS feeds in one app'
arch=(x86_64)
url='getstream.io/winds/'
license=BSD-3-Clause
depends=(redis mongodb)
makedepends=(yarn pm2)
source=("https://github.com/GetStream/${pkgname}/v${pkgver}.tar.gz")
sha512sums=('9caced2e2fb764b0c9cdb8667a6b51a21198d59f55466bdd5c8dbb516b4d6994ff5d6de5ddec955099a7c40ca8c98f10fd979b1af12e9f38a02bb3111596d2f3')

prepare() {
        yarn global add babel-cli
}

build() {
        cd api
        yarn
        cd ../app
        yarn
}

package() {

}

any idea how I would get this into a package? What files should be installed to the system and are there any dependencies I am missing? Not a fan of AppImages, would be nice if you guys supported flatpak, but ultimately I'd like this to run natively.

I'm not too familiar with AUR but are you opposed to installing with snap?

1. yaourt -S snapd
2. sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
3. sudo snap install winds

I don't use systemd, IDK if I can even use snap tbh. I'd like to get this running natively so it can be posted to the AUR, once I figure this out I can also package it for Void Linux. I don't think snap is available on Void MUSL either, so snap won't do. Flatpak would work but not snap or AppImage. yeah, snap wants to install systemd-dummy.... that's a shame.

Do you know how I can install this into a package? I've never seen anyone use yarn before for anything.

I'm really not sure. I asked around the team and did a bit of research. Doesn't look like electron builder (the package we use to build for linux) supports your package type. Very sorry.
