@m040601
ArchWiki's package guidelaines beg to differ: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_package_guidelines#Directories
I'm not worried about conflicts here, for me it's about being able to locate the relevant files — say licenses and docs — easily.
The
PKGBUILDspecification says explicitly aboout the license: “The corresponding license text must be placed in directory/usr/share/licenses/pkgname”. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD#license It would be very illogical to use another naming for documentation.m040601 commented on 2025-03-02 10:38 (UTC) (edited on 2025-03-02 10:46 (UTC) by m040601)
You mean like,
Nooooooo. Never ... That would be a mess.
The directories are called "ov". Whether the PKGBUILD is called "ov-git" or "ov-bin" or "ov-strawberries", or "ov-bananas". Period.
You dont need to "worry" about conflicts. You, the AUR user, chooses one "ov" from the AUR. The "ov", "ov-bin" or "ov-git". You can only have one at the same time installed on your computer.
That is the job for these kind of tags,
That should be used by the "-git" and "-bin" versions of the PKGBUILDs.

@m040601
Shouldn't the doc directory be
/usr/share/doc/$pkgname/?I have implemented your
$pkgname.installfile in thjeov-gitpackage. Thanks.m040601 commented on 2025-03-01 23:58 (UTC) (edited on 2025-03-02 00:01 (UTC) by m040601)
pacman -Ql ov-bin
For consistency. It is better to install those "ov.yaml" files in the "doc" folder, "/usr/share/doc/..." . Not in "/usr/share/ov".
This,
Not this,
That is what the others do both,
It would be nice if the maintainers of the 3 different PKGBUILD "ov", "ov-git", "ov-bin" maintainers, cooperate, collaborate or at least check each other for consistency. And to avoid repeating work.

ov will look for a configuration file in the following paths in descending order:

@Julian, thanks !
To everyone,
Don't forget to cast a vote for this tool, With enough votes this might become an official Arch package.
There are currently 3 PKGBUILD's, "ov", "ov-bin" and "ov-git".
Please collaborate to avoid unnecessary reduplicate work.
Also the author, a japanese guy, has a lot more very interesting related tools, https://noborus.github.io/index.html
There is even an interesting "ovcs",

Thanks for maintaining this PKGBUILD.
$ pacman -Ql ov-bin
$ wget https://github.com/noborus/ov/releases/download/v0.33.1/ov_0.33.1_linux_amd64.zip
$ less ov_0.33.1_linux_amd64.zip
There is a 'README.md' shipped inside the zip file there. But it's going to the trash.
Can you please make sure it ends up in something like
A simple install will do
Thanks in advance.
