extreme-infinitv PKGBUILD help

Hello guys, I have been using this application for quite some time but haven't found a PKGBUILD for it so I wrote my own. I am hooping someone can review it to see if anything can be improved.
Thankyou

Re: extreme-infinitv PKGBUILD help

I figured out there might be a better way of building the package starting directly from the deb file release:
What do you guys think? Which is the correct route?

Re: extreme-infinitv PKGBUILD help

depends=('gtk3' 'webkit2gtk' 'libnm' 'perl' 'nodejs' 'libsecret' 'mpv' 'nasm')

tauri version 2 switched to webkit2gtk-4.1.

makedepends=('rustup' 'pnpm' 'git' 'base-devel' 'nasm' 'mold' 'clang')

Is an implicit dependency for base-devel all PKGBUILDs and should not be included.

sha256sums=('SKIP')

Pinned git sources can be check summed.

RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN is not set and exported so the cargo calls will all fail in a clean chroot. Please see Rust package guidelines Prepare.

Both can be present in AUR addressing different needs.

Re: extreme-infinitv PKGBUILD help

Loqs asked you to read the rust package guidelines , please do that.
Also check https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Node.j … guidelines .

As for the extreme-inifinty-bin :
package() is not the right function to extract files from downloaded archives.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: extreme-infinitv PKGBUILD help

I have removed the manual extraction entirely since makepkg handles it automatically it seems:

# Maintainer: InvisibleRasta

depends=('gtk3' 'webkit2gtk-4.1' 'libappindicator-gtk3' 'hicolor-icon-theme')
provides=("${pkgname%-bin}")
conflicts=("${pkgname%-bin}")

source=("${pkgname}-${pkgver}.deb::${url}/releases/download/v${pkgver}/Extreme.InfiniTV_${pkgver}_amd64.deb"

package() {
  cp -a "$srcdir/usr" "$pkgdir/"

  install -Dm644 "$srcdir/LICENSE" "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE"

  mv "$pkgdir/usr/bin/extreme-infinitv" "$pkgdir/usr/bin/extreme-infinitv-bin"

  install -Dm755 /dev/stdin "$pkgdir/usr/bin/extreme-infinitv" <<'EOF'
#!/bin/sh
mkdir -p /tmp/extreme-infinitv-egl
cp /usr/share/glvnd/egl_vendor.d/50_mesa.json /tmp/extreme-infinitv-egl/ 2>/dev/null || true
exec env \
  __EGL_VENDOR_LIBRARY_DIRS=/tmp/extreme-infinitv-egl \
  LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 \
  GALLIUM_DRIVER=llvmpipe \
  GDK_BACKEND=x11 \
  DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:-:0}" \
  /usr/bin/extreme-infinitv-bin "$@"
EOF
}

I am still trying to figure out the other PKGBUILD. Ill re-read the docs now and see if i figure it out.
