Update archlinux aur PKGBUILD and fix argument passthrough

[0xAdk]

A reminder that the aur PKGBUILD needs an update :)

Also currently the way the PKGBUILD file is set up it installs a script into /usr/bin that calls gdbfrontend without passing through arguments, leading to many confusing --helps that just started the server :p

This is my modified PKGBUILD that I used to install 0.5.0, that fixes the issues I mentioned

# Maintainer:  Dimitris Kiziridis <ragouel at outlook dot com>

pkgname=gdb-frontend-bin
pkgver=0.5.0.beta
_pkgver=0.5.0-beta
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="An easy, flexible and extensionable GUI debugger"
arch=('x86_64')

package() {
  install -d "${pkgdir}/opt/" "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/"
  cp -aR ${pkgname%-bin}-${_pkgver} "${pkgdir}/opt/gdbfrontend"

  cat <<- '  EOF' | sed 's/^\s*//' > gdbfrontend.sh
    #!/usr/bin/env sh
    cd /opt/gdbfrontend/
    ./gdbfrontend "$@"
  EOF
  install -Dm755 gdbfrontend.sh "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/gdbfrontend"
}

EDIT: forgot to mention that the package in the README's aur install command is incorrect, the package is called 'gdb-frontend-bin' not 'gdbfrontend' and so should be updated to yay -S gdb-frontend-bin

Hi, Thank you for packaging. 🙂 I'm gonna update the README.md.

Hi thanks for the update, though the issue with the argument passthrough still persists.

The script I provided did more then change the version number, it also added "$@" after the call to gdbfrontend to pass the arguments. Without this no matter what you put after gdbfrontend in the terminal the script will ignore then and call gdbfrontend end with no arguments.

I think this way is already ok 🙂

Same way is used in runner bash script: https://github.com/rohanrhu/gdb-frontend/blob/2a5ae896b3a6d4d1832f58615334e866679aa30c/gdbfrontend#L1-L3
