PKGBUILD Request: uGet 2.1.x Beta for the AUR

MichaelTunnell · 2016-06-02 21:56:58

Anyone interested in creating a PKGBUILD for the uGet 2.1.x Beta and adding it to the AUR?

uGet Download Manager
Homepage: http://ugetdm.com/
Current Beta: 2.1.4
Beta Page: http://ugetdm.com/downloads-beta
Source Download: https://sourceforge.net/projects/urlget … z/download

Have you tried just editing the PKGBUILD for the current stable version?

By the look of it all that needs changing is the version number and source URL.

I've just done that (and added conflict with uget). Building the package works, but I've not tested the application...

pkgname=uget-beta
_pkgname=uget
pkgver=2.1.4
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="GTK+ download manager featuring download classification and HTML import"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://ugetdm.com/"
license=('LGPL')
depends=('libnotify' 'gtk3' 'gstreamer' 'curl')
makedepends=('intltool')
optdepends=('aria2: alternative backend')
conflicts=('uget')
source=("http://downloads.sourceforge.net/urlget/$_pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz")
sha1sums=('10e119e24b179050324e079702443f397fd3ccc8')

build() {
  cd $_pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
  make
}

package() {
  cd $_pkgname-$pkgver
  make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install
}

I had not tried because I have not maintained a PKGBUILD in the AUR before so didn't feel comfortable doing so as that would make it seem "officially support" as I'm the project manager for uGet. I didn't want to give a false representation.

Great, thank you!

As long as the beta version has the same dependencies and does not need different configure options, it could be uplaoded to AUR, I would say.
