feat(pkg): publish a tag-based package instead of the -git PKGBUILD - #11
Merged
Conversation
This repo already had a PKGBUILD and nothing built it. It was `aikit-git`: sourced from git+https, versioned by a pkgver() running `git describe`, and published nowhere -- so a release carried only GitHub's source zip, same as every other repo in the org. macarchy-install#17. It is a release package now. The source is the tag's tarball, so the artifact attached to a release is built from that release rather than from whatever HEAD happened to be. The pkgver() is gone, the -git variant is retired via conflicts= rather than kept beside this one (two packages for one program is how they drift), and the redundant provides= of its own name is dropped. What made the original good survives the conversion: check() still runs bin/aikit-selftest, and aikit.install still prints the setup note. Built locally and read back with tar -tf: four commands, both units, and the share/ tree including the omarchy fragments. Carried over from the slice that proved the pattern (macarchy-install#16): the job hangs off release-please's release_created output, because a `release: [published]` trigger never fires on a GITHUB_TOKEN-created release; pkgver is rewritten from the tag rather than through extra-files, which cannot parse a PKGBUILD; and the upload globs because PKGEXT differs between machines.
