Recently, I was introduced to the world of the ABS and PKGBUILDs when I customized my nnn installation earlier today. How do you all manage your modified PKGBUILDs? Can you put them in a git repo like how a lot of people do with their dotfiles? Are there any “best practices” that I should be aware of?
Yes, that’s probably “best practice.” You might want to have a look at https://github.com/eli-schwartz/aurpublish as a useful tool (but it’s not necessary, even if you’re pushing to the AUR too).
How exactly would I go about putting customized PKGBUILDs in a git repo? And would I still be able to update them with asp or something similar? I’m also confused as to how I would use aurpublish to accomplish this.
For example:
git clone ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/package.git
# make changes
git add .
git commit
git remote add customised-repo ssh://git@github.com/anomalocaris/package.git
git push customised-repo master
