JFYI: since rate-mirrors is now in official extra repository (kudos to carsme), I submitted a request to merge this building-from-source package into rate-mirrors-git

hi @carsme, thank you, I appreciate it a lot! I just pushed the updates.

Hi @westandskif, thank you for creating this tool - I think it would be a great addition to the official repositories.

In order to base the official package on your PKGBUILD, we'll need you to license it under 0BSD, see https://rfc.archlinux.page/0040-license-package-sources/. Would you mind adding 0BSD license file to the repository? Alternatively, run pkgctl license setup and it will do it for you.

@D3vil0p3r Do you have base-devel installed?

base-devel and everything that comes with it is considered an implicit dependency not needing to be listed here, though you could argue since its a dependency of a dependency you should.

Hey @westandskif I think that perl is a build dependency. If it is not installed, the building of the package fails by:

  cargo:rerun-if-env-changed=RANLIBFLAGS_aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
  RANLIBFLAGS_aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu = None

my fault :/ bad testing I just pushed the fix, hope this time I tested better

username227 commented on 2025-05-02 19:05 (UTC)

i corrected it like this:

package() {
  cd "$srcdir"

  install -Dm755 "target/release/rate_mirrors" "$pkgdir/usr/bin/${pkgname}"
  install -Dm644 "$pkgname-$pkgver/LICENSE" "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}/LICENSE"
}

username227 commented on 2025-05-02 18:27 (UTC)

I am getting a 'no such file or directory' error in the package function.

westandskif commented on 2025-05-02 17:10 (UTC)

I hope I got the point right. if so, then it's done

Nikolai508 commented on 2025-04-14 09:59 (UTC)

Can I please request that an export of CARGO_HOME into the srcdir is added to the PKGBUILD, as this prevents cluttering people's ~/ with a ~/.cargo directory that the may not be aware to clean up if they are not a Rust user, basically similar to how you've done the export of CARGO_TARGET_DIR, but also for the cargo files.
