Hi all,

Just to clarify for anyone following this thread: the old hermes-agent-desktop-bin package was recently merged into this package (hermes-one-bin), which is why the previous comments are visible here.

This package (hermes-one-bin) has always followed upstream's "Hermes One" branding, installing binaries and desktop entries as hermes-one without providing or conflicting with the official NousResearch hermes-agent-desktop.

With the latest 0.7.7-1 release, I've also added replaces=('hermes-agent-desktop-bin') and conflicts=('hermes-agent-desktop-bin') to ensure a clean upgrade path for anyone still on the merged package. Thanks!

After a little investigation, I've decided I will request an AUR merge of this into the hermes-one-bin package. So long o7

Hi, this package is from before the Hermes agent ever had an official desktop upstream. You are fully correct in that it should migrate to the official one, I'll get something set up there.

Hi maintainer — thanks for maintaining this package. I wanted to flag something about the package naming that I think is misleading.

This package's upstream is fathah/hermes-desktop, which brands itself as "Hermes One" (hermesone.org). However, the AUR package is named hermes-agent-desktop-bin and — more importantly — declares:

Provides: hermes-agent-desktop  hermes-desktop
Conflicts: hermes-agent-desktop  hermes-desktop

hermes-agent-desktop is the name of the official Hermes Agent desktop app (from NousResearch/hermes-agent, maintained by enihcam in AUR). By providing and conflicting with that name, this package:

1. Takes over the official package name — paru -S hermes-agent-desktop may skip or conflict because it's already "provided" by this third-party package.
2. Misleads users searching for the official desktop app into installing a community app instead.

The upstream project has its own brand — it should use it. Either rename the package to hermes-one-bin (there's already a 0.7.6 package under that name by NickeyGod), or at minimum drop the hermes-agent-desktop / hermes-desktop entries from Provides/Conflicts.

Keeping the current naming will likely confuse users and could result in the package being flagged for deletion as it shadows the official package name. Thanks for considering.

.deb packages are simple in that regard, can just poll the github api

just a good ol nushell script

@latte_macchiato I'm just curious: how did you automated exactly?

updated, also automated future packaging
