arch linux aur package

re: #3 (comment):

I just made an AUR package for my own use by the way.

@ifreund awesome!

"for my own use"… Is it something that will work for all Arch users? If so it'd be great to add in the package installation section of the readme.

Really like the idea of having an AUR. What do you think the best way to keep the package updated is? I can't register with aur.archlinux.org without actually having Arch (or, I suppose, without lying about the pacman output for the anti-bot command), so I can't even flag a package as being out of date. Are you up for continuing to maintain it? I could ping you about releases.

I've since moved to void linux and disowned all my AUR packages for software I didn't write. Thus, the package is currently orphaned and anyone with an account can adopt it.

If you'd like to do so yourself, running arch in a vm would get the job done. You don't just need arch to create the account but also to access the packaging tools.

Cool. Would you mind flagging the AUR as out of date?

Yes with all the Arch hype I've thought about getting a VM up. Not ready to go down the rabbit hole / risk losing free time to trying Void and whatever's next!

Flagged.

For me "next" was writing my own wayland compositor, which has been quite a fun way to spend some of my free time :)

Thanks! If you still use this and ever make a Void package let me know

Sounds very interesting…… but 🙉 haha
