Arch Linux User Repository

(preface: I know little about Go) It looks like Arch changed, when you attempt to install go-pie it now triggers the install of go causing this PKGBUILD to fail on it's makedepends(). I dug up in the wiki (and found a go/go-pie bug to match) that now you add -buildmode=pie to your recipe instead. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Go_package_guidelines

Making these two changes (remove makedepends, adding -buildmode=pie) seems to have produced a working binary for me. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/60928 is where I found them talking about this change.

Thanks for the patch, @yochananmarqos.

Also, sorry it took me so long to update this. Starting at 0.28.0-1, the PKGBUILD should now properly overload the build version and date (until this point, wtfutil -v just printed dev (dev). Now it should properly output $pkgver (${build date}).

Please add the README, CHANGELOG and sample configs:

package(){
    cd "wtf-$pkgver"
    install -Dm755 "$pkgname" -t "$pkgdir/usr/bin"
    install -Dm644 LICENSE.md -t "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname"
    install -Dm644 README.md CHANGELOG.md -t "$pkgdir/usr/share/doc/$pkgname"
    cp -r _sample_configs "$pkgdir/usr/share/doc/$pkgname/sample_configs"
}

OK, thanks for the explanation.

@dangersalad: According to Arch's Go packages guideline [1]:

"There are two go packages in the repositories that you can build towards; go and go-pie. All packages should preferably be built towards go-pie as this enables us to deliver secure binaries. However, as upstream might have bugs, building towards go should be a last resort."

I do realize that's mostly aimed at the prebuilt packages at the official repositories, but I figured it'd be good practice to to the same here at AUR. Am I wrong?

Is there a reason to change from go to go-pie?

@matthias.lisin Oh ok, yea, manjaro hasn't caught up yet. When it does, I'll test and report back

I've bumped the package to its latest version, building from the source. It does need to set the GOPROXY env. var pointing to the GoCenter repository as described in the upstream documentation, otherwise the user wouldn't be able to fetch all of the dependencies.

@yochananmarqos Since this software is using Go mod, we don't need the prepare() bit (and we can also simplify the path inside $srcdir). Oh, and we do need to export the GOPROXY export before calling go build. Thank you for the help! I've made some small changes to it and listed you as a contributor.

matthias.lisin: How's this?

prepare() {
    mkdir -p gopath/src/github.com/$pkgname
    ln -rTsf wtf-$pkgver gopath/src/github.com/$pkgname/wtf
}

build() {
    cd gopath/src/github.com/$pkgname/wtf
    go build -o bin/wtfutil \
        -trimpath \
        -ldflags "-extldflags ${LDFLAGS}" \
        .
}

package() {
    cd "wtf-$pkgver"
    install -Dm755 "bin/$pkgname" "$pkgdir/usr/bin/$pkgname"
    install -Dm644 LICENSE.md "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE.md"
    install -Dm644 README.md "$pkgdir/usr/share/docs/$pkgname/README.md"

@yochananmarqos I don't think this is the way to go. Even though you download the .tar.gz source, you then redownload the package using go get.

This does not use the source. It downloads the latest revision from Github.

Edit: Also, it's not reproducible. See Go packaging guidelines#Flags and build options

@yaakushi No problem, go for it. There were a few days of silence which made me worry a bit. Good to hear that you're working on the package.

I've been fiddling with the PKGBUILD in order to make this package build from the source instead of just fetching the binaries. I've been a bit short on time, this is why this hasn't been updated yet. Sorry.

@matthias.lisin I did. I have no idea about how people at Arch/the AUR feel about someone adopting a package someone else filled a orphan request for, and, honestly, I hadn't considered that until I read your comment. If that's frowned upon, I'd be more than happy to transfer the maintainership of this package to you. Sorry about how inconsiderate I was.

@juantascon It was orphaned, but yaakushi grabbed it instantly.

since this was never orphaned, and since the pkgname is wrong either way as per the guidelines, I've made a new pkg: wtfutil-bin

@Kunda Already did a few days ago.

Can someone please send a request to the aur-request list[1] to orphan this package and then claim new maintainership ?

The GitHub repo has changed to https://github.com/wtfutil/wtf

This package should be called wtfutil-bin since it's the binary release. That way, another package could be added that builds from source.

I don't know which fonts you are talking about. If you need emoji support, install the noto-fonts-emoji package :)

Add fonts please.
