Arch Linux User Repository

@RealOrRandom @everyone

I'm not sure myself if it makes sense to keep these packages here in the AUR, since I use the GitHub Actions flow for my own builds.

So please, anyone, let me know -- should I:

• a) remove my ttf-iosevka-*custom-git packages from the AUR?
• b) remove those AND the ttf-iosevka-git package?
• c) keep maintaining them here?
• d) keep maintaining them AND add a quasi proportional PKGBUILD (which is already getting generated)?
• e) something else?

@RealOrRandom

These PKGBUILDs are generated from that repo (I will update them here soon when Iosevka v28 is released with some new names/paths).

For a local QP build on Arch, I suggest you clone that repo and use it to generate all its PKGBUILDs (which include one for ttf-iosevka-quasi-proportional-custom-git). You'll have to decide if you prefer to configure it via my vars.nt or your own ~/.config/iosevka/private-build-plans.toml, but then it should just be:

$ ./mk/pkgbuilds.sh
$ cd pkgs/ttf-iosevka-quasi-proportional-custom-git
$ makepkg -sci

Just note, especially if using your own private-build-plans.toml, that the repo is currently configured to pull iosevka from the dev branch, which has all the new names for everything.

@andykluger Are these AUR packages still the way to go, or do you recommend switching to https://github.com/AndydeCleyre/archbuilder_iosevka?

Background: I'd like to build a custom quasi-proportional variant, and there's no AUR package for this here. But I think I'd be happy with a local build, I won't need GitHub Actions...

The master branch has been renamed to main. This needs to be fixed in the PKGBUILD.

Anyone have thoughts on replacing these packages with TTC/Super-TTC builds?

Please see "Packaging Format" at https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka/releases/ and let me know what you think!

I configured a GitHub workflow/action as a build server for this.

Please have a look and message here or submit an issue for any assistance/complaints.

Heads up everyone!

Looks like the naming of these build variants is changing upstream, so the relevant package names here will change accordingly as well.

• Iosevka (custom) will now have wide arrows and geometric symbols
• formerly "termlig" -> "term"
• formerly "term" -> "fixed"

I will be requesting deletion of the termlig package for the rename. I will be requesting deletion of the slab packages because no one uses them.

Please stay tuned for updated packages as I ensure a successful transition.

I've now included, disabled unless manually uncommented, a patch to get back the old, smoother, "toothless" capital G, as seen here (look for "LIGHT"): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/be5invis/Iosevka/47023ab4058987f58844f6308d8175e735106b8a/images/preview-all.png

If anyone else here prefers that toothless version, please express that at https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka/issues/442 so that it might return upstream as a glyph variant option.

@E I've changed things so that the file is no longer overwritten, so there shouldn't be any trouble with checksums anymore. Note that this build does not check for the user-defined toml file in the build directory, but in ~/.config/iosevka/

Let me know if this is good for you.

@E You can always check out the committed version of that file, or tell yay to check it out again.

I'll remove the integrity check if a second person requests it
