Bump Version

Bump an AUR package to a new version with automatic checksum updates and git push to AUR.

Target version: $ARGUMENTS

Workflow

1. Determine the new version:

   • If version argument provided, use it
   • Otherwise, automatically detect latest version from package source
   • Confirm auto-detected version with user before proceeding

2. Update PKGBUILD:

   • Set pkgver to new version (without 'v' prefix)
   • Run updpkgsums to regenerate checksums

3. Update metadata:

   makepkg --printsrcinfo > .SRCINFO
   

4. Commit and push:

   git add .
   git commit -m "chore: bump to <version>"
   git push
   

Version Detection by Source Type

NPM Packages

npm view <package-name> version

For scoped packages:

npm view @scope/package version

GitHub Releases (for -bin packages)

curl -s "https://api.github.com/repos/user/repo/releases/latest" | \
  grep '"tag_name":' | sed -E 's/.*"v([^"]+)".*/\1/'

Go Modules

curl -s "https://proxy.golang.org/module/@v/list" | tail -1

Crates.io (Rust)

curl -s "https://crates.io/api/v1/crates/<crate-name>" | jq -r '.crate.newest_version'

PyPI (Python)

curl -s "https://pypi.org/pypi/<package-name>/json" | jq -r '.info.version'

Git Repositories (-git packages)

For -git packages, the version is dynamically generated by pkgver() function. No manual bumping needed - rebuild the package to get the latest commit.

Parsing PKGBUILD for Source Type

To determine how to detect version, read the PKGBUILD and check:

1. NPM: Source contains registry.npmjs.org
2. GitHub Releases: Source contains github.com and -bin in pkgname
3. Go: Source contains proxy.golang.org or go.mod present
4. Crates.io: Source contains crates.io
5. PyPI: Source contains pypi.org or files.pythonhosted.org
6. Git (-git): pkgname ends with -git

Version Format

Always use version number without the 'v' prefix:

• ✅ 48.2.7
• ❌ v48.2.7

If upstream uses 'v' prefix in tags, strip it when setting pkgver.

Useful Commands

Error Handling

• Version not found: Inform user and ask for manual version input
• Checksum update fails: Verify source URL is correct and accessible
• Git push fails: Check AUR SSH credentials and remote configuration
