Publish to native package repositories

[JakobGM]

Before releasing v.1.0.0 I would like to publish the package to some of the most popular package repositories.

• [x] yay -S astrality (ArchLinux)
• [ ] brew install astrality (MacOS)
• [ ] apt-get install astrality (Debian/Ubuntu after having added a new package repository)

I think the easiest place to start is to publish to the AUR. It can easily be tested locally first, ensuring that it is correct. I have started some of this work, but I know too little at the moment. Here is my first draft for a PKGBUILD file:

# Maintainer: Jakob Gerhard Martinussen <jakobgm@gmail.com>
pkgname=astrality
pkgver=0.6.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A modular and dynamic configuration file manager"
arch=('any')
url="https://astrality.readthedocs.io"
license=('MIT')
depends=('python')
makedepends=('python-setuptools')
optdepends=('libyaml: faster YAML config parsing')
backup=()
options=()
install=
changelog="$pkgdir"/CHANGELOG.rst
source=($pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=() #autofill using updpkgsums

build() {
    python setup.py build
}

package() {
    python setup.py install --root="$pkgdir/" --optimize=1 --skip-build
}

I could work on this. I was actually about to open an issue about creating a package for AUR. I have some little experience with this and I've been reading up about it

I would really apreciate that, as I have my hands full on the other blockers at the moment :grin:

The AUR is probably a good starting point, but I think there exists some tools which enable you to publish to several Linux package repositories at once. This one for example. But I might get ahead of myself here.

We could alse add both of our PGP keys, so that both of us can publish new versions. I have already set up Travis-CI to automatically publish to PyPI when commits are tagged with new version numbers, but I don't think this is as easy for the Linux distributions.

I will close this issue if the AUR package "astrality-git" works for you too, @sshashank124.
