Arch Linux User Repository

Hello Shulhan would you be willing to take over the google-compute-engine AUR packages? Doesn't seem like they are actively maintained. I am new to AUR but would be happy to help with testing, and eventually maintaining once I get up to speed.

Hi all, here is my patch for PKGBUILD for release 20251014.00.

The pre-build binary is available at https://build.kilabit.info/.

Changes,

• Remove the patch for google_set_hostname since is not needed anymore.
• Set license value to use SPDX valid license name [1]
• Use explicit install commands instead of wildcard "*", so we can see which files being copied, and prevent unnecessary files being copied in the future.
• In package, remove installing symlink for dhclient-exit-hooks. In Arch Linux image, we use systemd for setting network. You may need to revert this chunk when needed.

Wow amazingly fast, thanks!

Hi, could you add inetutils to depends? Without that, the hostname is not set [1]

The PKGBUILD needs a little update:

Starting from version 20190801, a couple of missing soname links have been added to the package. Because of that, for updating it might be necessary to run the following command:

sudo pacman -Syu --overwrite "/usr/lib/libnss_oslogin.so.2,/usr/lib/libnss_cache_oslogin.so.2"
