[SOLVED] AUR maintaining question

benneti · 2015-09-06 16:45:07

I uploaded my first pkgbuild (ice-ssb) to the aur just some time ago.
Now there is a new version, but in a development branch:
https://launchpad.net/~peppermintos/+ar … ntu/p6-dev
the version currently in the aur is the one from the release branch:
https://launchpad.net/~peppermintos/+ar … p6-release

So my question is should i update the pkgbuild to the development branch or should i wait untill it is in the release branch?
(Because its the dev branch of the OS not ice, i tested the new version and no problems occured to - till now)

I hope you understand my question and thank you in advance for your answers

I think you should keep the package on the release version. If you want to publish the development branch, then add a new package called "ice-ssb-dev" that provides/conflicts the stable package.

Hi,

AUR questions should be posted to the aur-general mailing list. Please post there next time.

The normal AUR package should always follow the release branch. If upstream has a non-VCS development branch then you could also create a "dev" package by adding "-dev" to the package name, and maintain that alongside the normal package.

If the development branch uses VCS then you could create the appropriate VCS package (e.g. -git).
