Respectfully, I'd rather wait a few days longer for an update that has been tested (or is at the very least supervised) by a real person than having instant version bumps which might break things (even if infrequently).

Of course, if @jackmhny as maintainer thinks this solution is appropriate, I won't stand in the way, but I don't see the added value.

would love to see @DeepChirp work merged in!

Thank you for your maintenance. I've uploaded the package to the Arch Linux CN community. There's a bot there that automatically detects upstream updates and updates the PKGBUILD, eliminating the need for manual maintenance. Would you mind adding me and lilac (the community bot) as co-maintainers? If there are any issues with the package, you can also submit pull requests there. Thanks!

Thanks, I hope keywords will help. I am totally agree with you that self referencing is bad. It was like quick example why this link can be rated less relevant when searching.

lextruel: i added the keywords, but respectfully i think the description changes wouldnt fit the guidelines [1] which say to avoid self referencing the package (codex cli) in the description; and though not explicitly mentioned in those guidelines, it can be inferred bad practice to reference arch linux itself in an aur description, as these descs are mainly for searching while already on aur.archlinux.org, or in an aur helper, not SEO

(if every aur desc started with "Arch Linux package for XYZ" it would get annoying fast)

This package has problem with discovery from search engines.

Can I propose to:

  1. Update description to Arch Linux package for OpenAI’s Codex CLI. Google demotes this page due content not being unique. This description is copy from bigger sites like Github.

  2. Add openai, codex, CLI, AI assistant, chatgpt to keywords to make it different from codex-bin package being already present in AUR for longer. And include more mentions of openai.

note: current bug with my PKGBUILD with aarch64, will fix soon

Update: 0.21 fixes the issue. Thanks @jackmhny for maintaining the AUR.

Is anyone else getting no response from Codex after the patch? If I execute prompts that result on console commands (e.g. ls) I can see the bot Ran Command output, but no other text output. It does not show the results of the ls command, nor any other flavor text ("it looks like you're writing a letter") type stuff.

fixed. thanks @gwuensch for the fix
