Krzysztof kuhy Rudnicki cc389ccb6e packaging/aur: use sha256sums=('SKIP') in the committed template
The template previously carried the real hash of the current tag's tarball.
That tarball contains this very file, so the hash is stale the moment the next
tag is cut -- and a stale 64-hex string looks complete enough that someone
copying the template to the AUR checkout could skip updpkgsums and then debug a
checksum mismatch instead of the actual step they missed. 'SKIP' is
unmistakably a placeholder. The AUR checkouts under ~/aur keep the real hashes.

AUR packaging

PKGBUILD here is the source of truth for the todo-flutter AUR package. The AUR checkout (~/aur/todo-flutter) is a copy of this file plus a generated .SRCINFO.

Why the checksum can go stale

source= points at the GitHub tarball for tag v$pkgver, and sha256sums is the hash of that tarball. A tarball contains this very file, so the checksum for tag vX cannot be committed before vX is tagged. The copy here is therefore a template: after pushing a new tag, run updpkgsums in the AUR checkout to fill in the real hash, and copy the result back here.

Release flow

# 1. bump `version:` in pubspec.yaml, commit, push
# 2. tag and push the SINGLE tag (never `git push --tags`)
git tag v1.2.3 && git push origin v1.2.3

# 3. sync + checksum + build + verify
cp packaging/aur/PKGBUILD ~/aur/todo-flutter/PKGBUILD
cd ~/aur/todo-flutter
# bump pkgver to match the tag, then:
updpkgsums
makepkg -Cf
namcap ./*.pkg.tar.zst
sudo pacman -U ./todo-flutter-*.pkg.tar.zst
todo   # must print: todo desktop serving on http://localhost:8730

# 4. publish
makepkg --printsrcinfo > .SRCINFO
git add PKGBUILD .SRCINFO && git commit && git push   # branch is `master`

Notes

  • install_arch.sh is deliberately not wired to this PKGBUILD. That script builds the working tree for local development; this one builds a downloaded release tarball. Merging them would destroy the dev loop.
  • options=('!strip') is load-bearing — see the comment in the PKGBUILD.
  • Building requires network access (pub get, plus a git fetch of the shared crdt_sync dependency). The tracked pubspec.lock pins what gets resolved.
