Arch Linux User Repository

Before it gets flagged out-of-date again: This is a VCS package. It may show an out-of-date version, but the correct version will be calculated at build time. I have just checked and it still builds and installs the latest version (currently 1.37.0.r8.g3fc655c9) just fine.

If you have any issues, let me know in the comments before marking the package out-of-date.

@m040601 this package was previously named gitlab-glab-git before the glab package made it into the official repos, at which point I renamed it to match. Is the replaces field causing an issue for you? If so, I can remove it.

   Replaces:     gitlab-glab-git

There is nothing called "gitlab-glab-git" on the AUR. There is the official Arch packaged "glab" in community. And somebody published today in the AUR a "glab-bin", which I dont see the point.

@alerque tyvm! That's definitely made for a cleaner PKGBUILD. I originally based this on the gitlab-glab package, but I see a lot changed when it was migrated to the official repos.

Actually there are quite a few issues with this PKGBUILD. It doesn't follow the Arch guidelines on fields at all. The generated binary doesn't have RELRO support because the wrong Go flags are setup. It isn't reproducible because the date field doesn't take that support into account. And so forth.

I've cleaned it up so it builds in a clean chroot and follows all or most Arch packaging guidance. Here is a patch you can save to a file and apply to your Git repo with git am file.patch:

Thanks!

One more thing: this is missing makedepends=(git) which is required to build.

Please update this to the new upstream repository location, it no longer builds the latest code since the repo moved to GitLab.
