Warning: This is an extremely early version.
We're just testing ideas.
Implementation might change completely.
PacOps is a package maintainers Swiss Army knife.
It's not an AUR helper, but it's made to help you maintain PKGBUILD files.
General Goals:
- Upstream updates check
- Applying update to a PKGBUILD file
- Availability as GitHub Action
- AUR package maintenance (generate
.SRCINFO, commit, subtree or regular push)
- Repo maintenance (build, sign, add to a repo db, upload)
Development progress
- Usable locally
- Supports only debian repositories as upsteam, example (with only one package and different version)
- Builds locally or in a user-provided chroot
- Commits updates with a commit message generate from a template
- Updates a local system or a chroot
- Somewhat runnable in Docker
Take part!
We have discussions, issues and PRs.

Roadmap
- Documentation
- GitHub as an upstream:
- Rootless containers (currently we don't have a workflow for rootless podman)
- Migrate from dummy parsing to NomCup
- Clean chroot life cycle (create, update, delete)
- Navigate user through repo creation
- State awareness - what's in git, AUR, repo
