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:
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
cd packaging/arch-bin
makepkg --printsrcinfo > .SRCINFO
4. Test locally
makepkg -si
5. Commit and push to AUR
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.
