[aur-general] RFC: PKGBUILD for nixnote2-release-bin
Could I please have comments on the below (and attached) PKGBUILD for
nixnote2-release-bin.
To pre-empt some comments:
1) This will download the latest binary from GitHub. I'm open to a
different package name to denote that it's not a '-git' or
build-from-latest-source-code, but rather a
build-from-latest-binary-release.
You may say that building from latest binary release against the
packaging guidelines, but I can't see where. Please see prior art
regarding this at:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1811590#p1811590
2) There is already a '-git' version of this package, but I want to
provide another option which:
* Is more stable - based on versioned releases rather than the
'continuous' branch.
* Has a quicker install - doesn't require waiting for compiling
Question:
I've found that even with pointing the .desktop file explicitly at the
pathname of the icon, xfce4 still doesn't pick it up. Why not?

[aur-general] PKGBUILD for an .AppImage
I searched through the forums and can't find anything on packaging an AppImage. The only app referenced (upwork-appimage) is no longer available. The particular AppImage in question is: https://github.com/robert7/nixnote2/releases How do I search this mailing list online? What advice would you give with .AppImages? I *could* rip it open, but the only snag I hit was the binary is linked to `libhunspell-1.3.so.0` whereas Arch has `/usr/lib/libhunspell-1.6.so.0`. Would it be a no-no to install this previous libhunspell version in /usr/lib? If using an unextacted AppImage, where should I install the .AppImage itself? /usr/bin/$pkgname.AppImage with a simlink from /usr/bin/$pkgname? Cheers, -- Tom Hale

On 8/10/18 1:35 pm, Doug Newgard via aur-general wrote: namcap's output is informational, nothing more. Taking it as gospel or using it as any kind of automated checking instead of actually reading the output is not sane. For greater specificity, the informational output can be split into: * Information (-i) * Warnings * Errors Unless they are badly named, are there any cases in which an error is not an error? And if so, that rule could be excluded with --rules=, again making the exit code useful. -- Tom Hale
[aur-general] Fwd: FS#60333: namcap exits 0 when errors found (Task closed)
I noticed that even when namcap prints out errors, it still exits 0. I raised this at: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/60333 It was closed: Reason for closing: Not a bug Additional comments about closing: namcap runs fine, so exiting with an error makes no sense To me the "reason for closing" is like saying that diff should exit 0 when two files are different because diff ran fine. If namcap is to be used in any automated packaging tools (or even my dodgy script), then it makes sense to have meaningful exit codes. And possibly an option to also have warnings also exit non-0 for the persnickety amongst us. I note that the python source returns 0 and 2, but never 1. I'm a newbie here, but I believe my argument has merit, so I raise it here for possible discussion. -- Tom Hale
Re: [aur-general] RFC: PKGBUILD for nixnote2-git [Finalising]
Thanks all for the great reviews.
Thank you in particular to those who said WHY changes were suggested. I
now feel empowered to go on to package rambox-os.
I believe I have incorporated all the feedback I received in the below.
If I missed something it is by mistake - and I ask for your generosity
in pointing it out once again.

Guess you could use $_pkgname here for nixnote2. Also not sure
specifying the version there is a good idea.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#provides says:
Note: The version that the package provides should be mentioned (pkgver
and potentially the pkgrel), in case packages referencing the software
require one. For instance, a modified qt package version 3.3.8, named
qt-foobar, should use provides=('qt=3.3.8'); omitting the version number
would cause the dependencies that require a specific version of qt to
fail. Do not add pkgname to the provides array, as it is done automatically
set -o pipefail
That seems like a good idea, but I'm not sure a PKGBUILD should set it.
Maybe makepkg even does it by itself?
AFAIK it only sets -e.
Cheers to you and Luca Weiss for the reviews.
My first package will be going live soon. *happy-dance*.
