@finesse No, I was serious.

@Aftermath @davidhcefx

Not sure if Aftermath was being sarcastic about the 'completely right' comment, no offense intended. As Aftermath pointed out though, it should be part of makedepends as per https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD#makedepends

depends=('nano')
makedepends=('git')

@davidhcefx

You are completely right… This Should be one of the make dependencies as instruction of package guidelines.

@galenguyer When I try to install this package with makepkg -s, I got the following error message:

[david@a3a98d446a71 nano-syntax-highlighting-git]$ makepkg -s
==> ERROR: Cannot find the git package needed to handle git sources.

The problem is that git does not come out of the box on Arch, so I suggest adding it to the dependency:

depends=('nano' 'git')

Hey @galenguyer I strongly suggest to add a postinstall file in the package, so, when the package is installed, the tool is automatically applied to all file extensions without the user intervention. You can do this by creating a file called "nano-syntax-highlighting.install" as:

post_install() {
  cat << _EOF 

==> IMPORTANT!!!
==> To prevent overwriting your existing configuration, nanorc
==> was installed to /usr/share/nano-syntax-highlighting/nanorc.sample
==>
==> To install you should add the languages you want to your nano configuration file, system-wide or user-specific
==> system-wide: $ echo "include /usr/share/nano-syntax-highlighting/*.nanorc" >> /etc/nanorc
==> user-specific: $ echo "include /usr/share/nano-syntax-highlighting/*.nanorc" >> ~/.nanorc

_EOF

if grep -wq "include /usr/share/nano-syntax-highlighting/*.nanorc" /etc/nanorc; then 
    echo "nano-syntax-highlighting already enabled." 
else 
    echo "include /usr/share/nano-syntax-highlighting/*.nanorc" | tee -a "${pkgdir}/etc/nanorc"
fi
}

post_upgrade() {
  post_install $1
}

and adding to the PKGBUILD the line install=nano-syntax-highlighting.install. Let me know.

@WSDMatty adopted it! I'll find some time next week to see what housekeeping is needed and see if we can breathe some new life into the repo!

@galenguyer

I've updated the source to point to your repository. Would you like to take over maintaining this package?

galenguyer commented on 2023-02-08 18:36 (UTC)

I've forked the original repository and merged in a bunch of the outstanding pull requests, as well as fixing some other issues. My fork is available at https://github.com/galenguyer/nano-syntax-highlighting. It'd be awesome if the PKGBUILD could be updated to use this source!

WSDMatty commented on 2019-10-19 03:57 (UTC)

Cleaned up PKGBUILD. Updated [package] to latest version

Got rid of custom variable.
Enclosed all variables in quotes.
Changed PKGVER function to use upstream versioning scheme

Isn't this a git package that installs direct from the source? (It looks like it *has* been updated since, but only to bump the package version, and it was flagged out of date a while ago but still installed from source, so… I don't think anything's changed?)
