Workflow for voxtype-bin
- 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
- Update PKGBUILD
Edit packaging/arch-bin/PKGBUILD :
-
Update pkgver to new version
-
Reset pkgrel to 1
-
Update sha256sums array with new checksums
- Generate .SRCINFO
cd packaging/arch-bin makepkg --printsrcinfo > .SRCINFO
- Test locally
makepkg -si
- 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.
