@jonathanio have a look if my update works for you as expected. If not lmk :)

@froub I don't know what you mean. I never claimed to have done 99.9% of the work anywhere.

Less than five hours from comment to removal does seem strange. We’ve seen this pattern before.

Who is we? What kind of removal do you refer to?

@jonathanio, anything still needed here? Happy to remove myself as a maintainer if you wanna fully own this. Let me know :)

@RubenKelvra, The 99.9% comment is a bit strange, as it’s simply not true. I fixed and then adopted this package to keep it up to date when needed. Less than five hours from comment to removal does seem strange. We’ve seen this pattern before.

@jonathanio, that's nice, thanks a lot! I'll do some finishing touches and then I'll push a pkgrel update :)

@RubenKelvra given you've done 99.9% of the work, I've added you as a co-maintainer for the repository so you can build that in directly.

@jonathanio

Thanks for updating the package. I had already been looking into it in some detail and noticed a few packaging issues that are still present after the version bump:

The package currently uses the bare codeql-linux64.zip from codeql-cli-binaries. Current installation guidance recommends the full CodeQL bundle from github/codeql-action which also contains the matching standard query packs and libraries. Without that, suites such as cpp-code-scanning.qls, cpp-security-extended.qls etc. are missing.

Also i686 should not be listed as a supported package architecture. The distributed CLI is x86_64.

In regards to licensing the bundle has substantially more licensing than just the proprietary CodeQL license. It contains among others MIT, Apache-2.0 and several third-party components/notices that should be reflected in license=() and installed appropriately.

The full bundle also has language-specific optional runtime/toolchain requirements which would fit well into optdepends.

I already have a PKGBUILD prepared against 2.26.3 using the official bundle, with the licenses, dependencies and query-suite checks added. If useful I can send you the diff so you don't have to duplicate the work.
