AUR package

[Gr3q]

Hello, I made a PKGBUILD for pacback. I think it could drive interest and help if you had it up on AUR.

pkgname=pacback-git
pkgver=r56.77b20b3
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc='Advanced Rollback Version Control for Arch Linux - Alpha'
arch=('any')
url='https://github.com/JustinTimperio/pacback'
license=('MIT')
provides=('pacback')
depends=('python-tqdm' 'arch-install-scripts')

pkgver() {
  cd "${srcdir}/pacback"
  # Get the version number.
  printf "r%s.%s" "$(git rev-list --count HEAD)" "$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)"
}

prepare() {
  git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/JustinTimperio/pacback.git
}

package() {
  cd "${srcdir}/pacback"
  install -dm 755 "${pkgdir}"/{usr/share/pacback,usr/bin/}
  cp -dr --no-preserve='ownership' core "${pkgdir}"/usr/share/pacback
  #install -dm 755 core "${pkgdir}"/usr/share/pacback
  ln -sf /usr/share/pacback/core/pacback.py "${pkgdir}"/usr/bin/pacback
}

I can upload it to AUR and make you Co-Maintainer but you can also upload it yourself or not upload it at all, it's up to you to decide.

Thanks for the awesome work here! Been swamped at work but I'm hoping to merge my refactor branch in the next couple days. I haven't done this yet because I have been making some pretty major changes to the core. Once I get it cleaned up and tested I'll add this to the AUR.

Great, that's ok. The PKBUILD works for me (I'll keep using it until the release then).

So I have merged my refactor branch and I am very happy with it so far. I would like to see if anyone submits bugs but if not I think this is ready for a AUR package.

The real issue is upgrading to a AUR package from a manual install. Not sure how to approach this but will start looking into it.

Thanks for the help here. Closing this out
