I rather doubt that the average user installing this package did so specifically because they wanted the -bin version

I don't think so. I think that you forgot all users that use non "pure-ARCH" distrib.

This is the AUR and if users aren't looking at PKGBUILDs, that's on them.

I'm not sure to share this point of view.

Personally I don't read the PKGBUILD of all the packages that I use because I don't need: I trust the user community.

You can judge me and think that I'm not an "real", "pure" arch user, it's your right, but I'm sure that I'm not alone.

But I heard your requests, so I created https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lego-bin/

For now I don't know what will be the next step, I'm still need to think about it.

This is the AUR and if users aren't looking at PKGBUILDs, that's on them.

What can be done is:

  • update lego package to compile from source
  • create lego-bin using the current PKGBUILD
  • pin a message on this package (lego) describing the changes

ldez commented on 2020-05-14 07:37

lego-bin needs to replace lego and lego need to replace lego-git but the directive replaces don't allow this case.

As I also don't want to break current user installation, maybe I can create lego-bin.

So for now, I don't have a real solution.

Ideally, this should be the PKGBUILD for the lego-bin package, and this should be the PKGBUILD for the lego package.

Are you able to create lego-bin and update the PKGBUILDs for both packages?

Found a reference here, quoting for brevity:

Packages that use prebuilt deliverables, when the sources are available, must use the -bin suffix. An exception to this is with Java. The AUR should not contain the binary tarball created by makepkg, nor should it contain the filelist.

Seems like lego-bin would be preferable.

There is no official documentation about this, but it is common sense to name a package -bin if it is not built from sources but sources are available. So grawlinson is right here.

ldez commented on 2019-09-01 14:21

Historically, the package lego-git manage the build from sources, and it was not created by the lego team.

This package (lego) has been created, by the lego team, to provide lego from binaries build by the lego team.

I am not able to find any official guidelines regarding the link between the name of the package and how is it built.

If anyone can give a link to an official document on the subject I am interested.

grawlinson commented on 2019-08-08 05:16

Since this does not compile source, should the package be renamed to lego-bin?
