AUR Publish

Update and publish voxtype packages to the Arch User Repository.

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.

Checklist

  • GitHub release exists with correct binaries
  • Binaries verified (version check, instruction validation)
  • pkgver updated in PKGBUILD
  • pkgrel reset to 1
  • SHA256 checksums updated
  • .SRCINFO regenerated
  • Local makepkg -si succeeds
  • Committed with signed commit
  • Pushed to AUR
