36web/aurpkg

Ever wanted to install an AUR package but don't want to install all those base-devel dependencies or just want to build an AUR package to install on other Arch environments without build dependencies?

Here's a Docker tool can do it for you.

Usage

Pull image

docker pull 36web/aurpkg

Build an AUR package

docker run --rm --init -v $PWD:/pkg -e USER_ID=`id -u` -e GROUP_ID=`id -g` 36web/aurpkg PACKAGE_NAME

replace PACKAGE_NAME with the name of your desired package on AUR.

example:

docker run --rm --init -v $PWD:/pkg -e USER_ID=`id -u` -e GROUP_ID=`id -g` 36web/aurpkg telegram-desktop-bin

Docker will build the package and put it in the directory named as PACKAGE_NAME with PKGBUILD for package details. You may later install the package with

sudo pacman -U package.pkg.tar.xz

Make an alias

You may also make it an alias for further usage.

alias aurpkg='docker run --rm --init -v $PWD:/pkg -e USER_ID=`id -u` -e GROUP_ID=`id -g` 36web/aurpkg '

and just run

aurpkg PACKAGE_NAME

at anytime.
