怎么把aur包做成archlinux社区源码？

Question

I have already uploaded my aur package to the aur.archlinux.org ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xmake/ ).

How to make the aur package into the archlinux community source?

I want to run command pacman -S xmake to install my package.

Who can help me?

Thanks!

As a maintainer in AUR, I can answer that the only way is to become a member of the famous trusted users of Arch Linux . Which is kinda hard do integrate if you only have one package (just saw your repository).

To quote the official Arch Linux team :

The minimum requirements to becoming a TU are as follows:

• know basic shell scripting
• maintain a few packages in AUR with clean, high-quality PKGBUILDs basic community involvement (mailing list, forums, IRC)
• know Google-Fu
• a general idea of the kind of packages you want to maintain (basically, why do you want to become TU?)

Even though you could become a TU by merely fulfilling those minimum requirements, the people judging you during voting might expect more of you. Such as:

• involvement in the bug tracker (reporting, research, info)
• patches for Arch projects
• involvement in a few open-source projects (even if they are your own)

In between your package have a big problem and I marked it as out-of-date because of the following:

1. According to Arch packaging standard :

   Packages should never be installed to /usr/local

You should install all your files under /usr/share/{pkgName}/* according to the standard.
