A AUR package generator, that generates (duh) aur packages of your rust applications.

• Installation:

  +BEGIN_SRC

cargo install cargo-aur-packer

+END_SRC

• Usage: Run

  +BEGIN_SRC

cargo aur-packer

+END_SRC

in the root of your rust application.

If you haven't set the values, in the toml file, cargo-makepkg will ask you some questions, that you have to answer.

This will create a new folder in /target called

+BEGIN_SRC

aur-package

+END_SRC

with a MAKEPKG, and a hidden SRCINFO file.

You definitly should test this makepkg file with

+BEGIN_SRC

cd target/aur-package makepkg -si

+END_SRC

And edit it to your needs. You should, uncomment the last line in package(), if you have a license.

All you now have to do, is push the git repo in that dir, onto the aur. You can do that, by doing the following: - create a account on the aur - add your public ssh key - run (replace '', with the name)

+BEGIN_SRC

git remote add origin ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/.git

+END_SRC

• run

  +BEGIN_SRC

git fetch

+END_SRC

• and then push the git repo

  +BEGIN_SRC

git push -u remote origin

+END_SRC

• Alternatives and differences to those This is basically a fork of this: https://github.com/kstep/cargo-pkgbuild/, but there is a major difference, see below. and similar to this: https://github.com/fosskers/cargo-aur. Other (similar) programs include:
• https://github.com/brandonio21/cargo-makepkg
• https://github.com/wdv4758h/cargo-arch

The only difference to cargo-pkgbuild, cargo-makepkg and cargo-arch is that you don't have to have keep rust installed for it to work and the difference to cargo-aur is, that this isn't a binary package, but a source based one.

Conclusion: their packages suck, while mine doesn't.
