It can but why would you? The tooling in devtools, aka pkgctl
is much more robust. The only thing pkgctl
doesn't handle is the subtree management and pushing to split repos.. If you don't need that for the AUR then there isn't a lot of point to aurpublish
.
Subtree management is why I'm interested in aurpublish
. The --url
option lets one push to a private server but the -p
option looks like it only supports the AUR as the source to pull from. Would an option to support a different source like retrieving PKGBUILDs used to build official Arch packages like https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/pkgname.git
be appropriate?
I'm not sure I need any features from pktctl
with this tool. To me it seems like aurpublish
can be more like a pkgbuildpublish and support e.g.https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/pkgname.git
(official PKGBUILD for pkgname
from the official Arch repo. Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like I need to treat this PKGBUILD manually, i.e. git clone https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/pkgname.git
and then manually add it to the subtree, unless aurpublish
supports this.
EDIT: I'm now using myrepos to manage multiple repositories and it's been great.
I stumbled across this tool from this thread as I was looking for a way to manage PKGBUILDs. I was wondering if there's anything AUR-specific to this tool such that it can't be used for PKGBUILDs used to build Arch packages from the official repositories. Besides PKGBUILDs from the AUR, I have also modified PKGBUILDs that were used to build Arch packages and I would like to manage those as well.
I suppose these modified PKGBUILDs are no different than those hosted in the AUR, although I don't intend to host them on the AUR because they are too personalized.
If not, what do you suggest?
Thanks!
