aur-mommy 🔺

arch linux build files for mommy, synchronised with the arch user repository (aur)~

see mommy for installation instructions~

⚗️ development

🚨 warnings

• never force push
• commits pushed to master are irreversibly synced with aur
• dev must never be behind master
• be careful when editing .aurignore
  changes to this file should never affect commits that are already in the aur. careless changes may cause deployment failures

🫒 branch management

🤔 what do the branches contain?

• aur-mommy#master contains the released build script for building the latest release of mommy, and is mirrored to the aur repository
• aur-mommy#dev contains the unreleased build script for building the latest commit to mommy#main, and is not mirrored to the aur repository

if you locally want to point the build script to a different commit, run ./update.sh <commit> to make it build mommy#<commit>~

🔍 where should i push my changes?

⚠️ below, we will be comparing branches across different repos!

mommy#dev is not aur-mommy#dev!

note that pushing to aur-mommy#master will also immediately sync to the aur. therefore, most changes should instead go to aur-mommy#dev. these changes will be merged into aur-mommy#master automatically when a new mommy release is created~

if all changes in a commit are to files listed in .aurignore (of that branch), no changes are pushed to the aur, so those commits are really quite safe. but keep in mind, aur-mommy#dev must never be behind aur-mommy#master~

for all other cases, consider whether you want to push only to aur-mommy#dev, or to both aur-mommy#dev and aur-mommy#master. this choice should be based on compatibility of the change with the version that branch points to~

📯 release

the release process is fully automatic. no human intervention required. below is a brief summary of how it works~

when a new mommy release is created, its cd action

1. merges aur-mommy#dev into aur-mommy#master
2. runs update.sh on aur-mommy#master to bump version info,
3. and commits and pushes these changes to aur-mommy#master~

this then invokes aur-mommy's cd action, which

1. removes files listed in .aurignore the history using git filter-repo, so aur doesn't complain about nested directories and unwanted files, and
2. pushes the filtered repo to aur~
