Publish voxtype to AUR. Updates PKGBUILD, generates checksums, and pushes to AUR. Use after a GitHub release is published.

Overview

# AUR Publish

Update and publish voxtype packages to the Arch User Repository.

Packages

| Package | Type | Location |

|---------|------|----------|

| voxtype | Source build | packaging/arch/ |

| voxtype-bin | Pre-built binaries | packaging/arch-bin/ |

Prerequisites

  • GitHub release already published with binaries
  • GPG key configured: E79F5BAF8CD51A806AA27DBB7DA2709247D75BC6

Workflow for voxtype-bin

1. Generate SHA256 checksums

Download binaries from GitHub release and generate checksums:

```bash

VERSION=0.4.14

cd releases/${VERSION}

sha256sum voxtype-${VERSION}-linux-x86_64-avx2

sha256sum voxtype-${VERSION}-linux-x86_64-avx512

sha256sum voxtype-${VERSION}-linux-x86_64-vulkan

```

2. Update PKGBUILD

Edit packaging/arch-bin/PKGBUILD:

  • Update pkgver to new version
  • Reset pkgrel to 1
  • Update sha256sums array with new checksums

3. Generate .SRCINFO

```bash

cd packaging/arch-bin

makepkg --printsrcinfo > .SRCINFO

```

4. Test locally

```bash

makepkg -si

```

5. Commit and push to AUR

```bash

cd packaging/arch-bin

git add PKGBUILD .SRCINFO

git commit -S -m "Update to ${VERSION}"

git push

```

Important Rules

Always bump pkgver, never just pkgrel when binaries change.

The download URLs include pkgver:

```

https://github.com/peteonrails/voxtype/releases/download/v$pkgver/voxtype-$pkgver-linux-x86_64-avx2

```

If only pkgrel changes, the URL stays the same and AUR helpers cache the old file.

Never re-upload different binaries to an existing GitHub release.

This causes checksum mismatches for users with cached PKGBUILDs.
