@m040601 -- Apologies. I'm not an expert on the process for adopting packages. I just read up on it, and I will attempt to do so now.

@m040601 -- I'm not the maintainer of iv-cli-bin so I can't push updates for it. I had previously emailed to be added as the maintainer, so that I could simultaneously publish releases for it, as I do with usql and usql-bin. Note that the AUR is disabled/down at the moment, and the most recent releases for iv-cli have not been published as well.

@kenshaw

Thanks for this tool and PKGBUILD. I'm testing and comparing different sixel terminal image viewers.

I'm trying to understand why, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/iv-cli-bin is stuck on 0.11.1

github lists these "releases"

  2026-08-05 03:50  iv v0.13.9
  2026-08-04 09:19  iv v0.13.8
  2026-08-04 09:00  iv v0.13.7
  2026-08-01 09:44  iv v0.13.6
  2026-08-01 09:43  iv v0.13.5
  2026-07-22 06:26  iv v0.13.4
  2026-06-22 22:11  iv v0.13.3
  2026-06-22 21:43  v0.13.2
  2026-06-22 21:11  v0.13.1
  2026-06-22 21:01  v0.13.0
  etc ...

But they seem to be only "source" tar.gz not precompiled binaries.

The latest precompiled binary available seems to be, https://github.com/kenshaw/iv/releases/download/v0.11.1/iv-0.11.1-linux-amd64.tar.bz2

Why dont you release the latest versions 0.13.xxx as precompiled binaries ?

Also. It seems that https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/iv-cli-bin, was abandoned and was the target of the AUR malware attack.

Could you please also adopt and maintain "iv-cli-bin" ?

Thanks in advance.
