Arch Linux User Repository

hello again my friend. I have edited my old comment with the PKGBUILD and added some comments. The go mod download one - which I previously suggested to you without knowing better - might interest you.

Thanks for switching to source build! Wanted to add a few things since there were some changes since my comment.

• you should at least include export CGO_CFLAGS="$CFLAGS". See: Go_package_guidelines#Flags_and_build_options
• you can drop the gzip make dependency, as this works with bsdcat as well

just a suggestion I recently picked up on the mailing list:

• you can drop the $pkg.tar.gz::$url format as Github allows to freely choose a filename of the downloaded source tag.

Explained here: github.com/ml-/pkgbuild

I maintained my own PKGBUILD for a short period of time which include all my suggestions: https://github.com/ml-/pkgbuild/blob/master/go-swagger/PKGBUILD

I wanted to wait until I could do a new release. I've published a -bin package now with the binary version.

Thanks @matthias.lisin for the PKGBUILD it was helpful for providing the source build

Hi, can you compile the package from source, binary packages should have -bin suffix. Let me know if you need any help with the PKGBUILD.

Edit: Just did one for myself. In case you're interested:
Edit 2 (2021-01-20): Gained some knowledge and here to correct my sins. Updated the PKGBUILD, old lines commented out to keep some sort of history.

#prepare() {

# EDIT: `go mod download' fetches whole modules and takes longer than the other options.
#       You can remove preprare() completely or explicitly fetch the dependencies with
#       `go get -d ./cmd/swagger', which will fetch the same amount of files as
#       the implicit download via `go build'. I personally prefer to drop the prepare function.

The downloaded binaries are now named uniquely. It's kind of odd though that things with different hashes and the same name don't invalidate local caches.

Please name the download so it is unique with each version. With a aur client cache things it won't re-download new versions as is.

Something along the line of https://slexy.org/view/s21DWpXVjT
