nvrl 9cd8a196aa chore(packaging): add AUR package sources for source, git, and binary builds
packaging/aur/ now holds the full content of three AUR repositories:
proton-drive-for-linux builds the latest tag from source,
proton-drive-for-linux-git builds main, and proton-drive-for-linux-bin
installs the binaries attached to the GitHub release. Each carries a
PKGBUILD, a generated .SRCINFO, an ignore-everything .gitignore, and the
0BSD license the AUR expects for package sources.

update.sh bumps the release-based packages and regenerates the .SRCINFO
files; push.sh publishes each package to its AUR remote. The README now
points users at the AUR packages and keeps the in-tree PKGBUILD as the
development build.

AUR packages

Source of truth for the three AUR packages of this project. Each subdirectory is the full content of one AUR git repository (pkgbase = directory name):

Directory What it does AUR repository
proton-drive-for-linux Builds the latest tagged release from source ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/proton-drive-for-linux.git
proton-drive-for-linux-git Builds main from git ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/proton-drive-for-linux-git.git
proton-drive-for-linux-bin Installs the binaries from the GitHub release ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/proton-drive-for-linux-bin.git

The three packages conflict with each other and with the in-tree packaging/PKGBUILD package (proton-drive-linux), and every one of them provides proton-drive-for-linux, proton-drive-linux, and pdfs.

Each directory tracks only PKGBUILD, .SRCINFO, .gitignore, and LICENSE (the 0BSD license of the packaging sources, per RFC40); the .gitignore ignores everything else so downloaded sources, src/, pkg/, and built packages never reach the AUR.

Releasing a new version

  1. Tag and publish the upstream release, so the source tarball and the proton-drive-linux-<version>-x86_64.tar.gz release asset exist.
  2. Run ./update.sh <version> — it rewrites pkgver, resets pkgrel=1, refreshes the checksums of the release-based packages, and regenerates every .SRCINFO.
  3. Build and inspect the packages in a clean chroot: cd proton-drive-for-linux && pkgctl build --clean (needs devtools).
  4. Commit here, then publish with ./push.sh (or ./push.sh proton-drive-for-linux-bin for a single package).

proton-drive-for-linux-git carries a pkgver() function, so its pkgver is computed at build time; do not push a commit that only bumps it.

Requirements for pushing

An SSH key registered with the AUR account and an entry in ~/.ssh/config:

Host aur.archlinux.org
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/aur
  User aur

push.sh creates a scratch clone of the AUR repository, copies the tracked files over it, commits, and pushes to master.
