AUR package?

[766F6964]

Can you add this project to the AUR? This would allow for easier installation via a package manager of choice.

@christophwille Could you do this?

[christophwille]

I have zero clue about Linux package managers. And I doubt that there would be many consumers at the moment to justify the effort.

@jeffreye Can I build Avalonia under Mono?

I would be interested in creating a PKGBUILD (for AUR) since the bleeding-edge build for Ubuntu crashes at Arch.

[jeffreye]

@chazanov I haven't tried to build it under Mono. Feel free to make it compatible with Mono.

I've made an AUR package which can be found here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/avaloniailspy/

It is however pointing to my fork, and not the official repository. I will update it to point to here when #23 is fixed, since that is a prerequisite.

Another thing to note is that it pulls directly from git and builds using dotnet-sdk, and should probably have been called avaloniailspy-git, but oh well. The plan is to rewrite it to use stable sources or binaries if those are ever released.

Can be installed with an AUR helper, for example

• yay -S avaloniailspy
• aura -A avaloniailspy -x

The aur package seems to be not working.

@Necklaces sorry to ping you hopefully you won't mind. The aur package is trying to do a commit. Hopefully did not bother you.

[Necklaces]

@Taza53 no worries, sorry for the late reply (though faster to ping me on AUR). Building from the RC2 tag (which arch/aur packages do for reproducibility) broke because of #49. It is fixed in the master branch, but hasn't been backported to the RC2 tag (not sure if that's even possible). I temporarily included the fix in #49 in the package, but I apply it using git am. It "worked for me tm", but I failed to predict it would fail if a user had not set up git. The error you are getting implies you have not set up git, and tells you exactly what to do to fix it, however I'm gonna see if I can find a better temporary fix.

[Taza53]

Yeah, I set up git and it worked.
