Arch Linux's package tools action

This action allows running tools needed for creating Arch Linux (and AUR) package. Here's what this action can do:

• Update checksums on PKGBUILD file
• Generate .SRCINFO based on your PKGBUILD
• Validate PKGBUILD with namcap
• Run makepkg with custom flags (rather than default)

Usage

Requirement

• PKGBUILD file inside your repository.
• Use actions/checkout in previous step. This is important, unless you want your $GITHUB_WORKSPACE folder to be empty.

Customizing

Following inputs can be used as step.with keys

Name	Type	Default	Required	Description
path	String		false	Path where PKGBUILD is located. This path always located under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE
updpkgsums	Boolean	false	false	Update checksums on your PKGBUILD
srcinfo	Boolean	false	false	Generate new .SRCINFO
namcap	Boolean	true	false	Validate PKGBUILD
flags	String	-cfs --noconfirm	false	Flags after makepkg command. Leave this empty will disable this command.

Examples

1. Basic

This action will run makepkg -cfs --noconfirm command, then validate PKGBUILD with namcap.
