First go to https://aur.archlinux.org
and make an account. Be sure to add the proper ssh keys. Next, clone an empty git repository using this command.
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/your-repo-name
After completing the steps above, create a file with the name PKGBUILD
. Once the file is created you can move onto the next step.
pkgdesc = " Description of your app "
arch =( ' x86_64 ' ' aarch64 ' )
url = " https://github.com/<user>/<project> "
depends =( ' cairo ' ' desktop-file-utils ' ' gdk-pixbuf2 ' ' glib2 ' ' gtk3 ' ' hicolor-icon-theme ' ' libsoup ' ' pango ' ' webkit2gtk ' )
options =( ' !strip ' ' !emptydirs ' )
install =${pkgname}.install
source_x86_64 =( " https://github.com/<user>/<project>/releases/download/v$pkgver/appname_ " $pkgver " _amd64.deb " )
source_aarch64 =( " https://github.com/<user>/<project>/releases/download/v$pkgver/appname_ " $pkgver " _arm64.deb " )
At the top of the file, define your package name and assign it the variable pkgname
.
Set your pkgver
variable. Typically it is best to use this variable in the source variable to increase maintainability.
The pkgdesc
variable on your aur repo’s page and tells vistors what your app does.
The arch
variable controls what architectures can install your package.
The url
variable, while not required, helps to make your package appear more professional.
The install
variable defines a file that runs the installation commands.
The depends
variable includes a list of items that are required to make your app run. For any Tauri app you must include all of the dependencies shown above.
The source
variable is required and defines the location where your upstream package is. You can make a source
architecture specific by adding the architecture to the end of the variable name.
In order to push your repo to the aur you must generate an srcinfo
file. This can be done with this command.
makepkg --printsrcinfo >> .SRCINFO
Testing the app is extremely simple. All you have to do is run makepkg -f within the same directory as the pkgbuild file and see if it works
Finally, after the testing phase is over, you can publish the application to the arch user repository with these commands.
git commit -m " Initial Commit "
If all goes well, your repository should now appear on the aur website.
