And I can’t find the PKGBUILD on gitlab.manjaro.org

The upstream Arch package is at version 1.6.0-1 Arch Linux - rofi 1.6.0-1 (x86_64)

What are the changes and where is the PKGBUILD?

It was a temporary overlay package, built with AUR PKGBUILD rofi-git. It’s meant to be dropped when arch next updates rofi, and was uploaded in a bit of haste, so I didn’t upload the PKGBUILD at the time. I can upload it to the gitlab.manjaro.org now.

Thank you so much.
Occasionally I find these discrepancies and the PKGBUILD in most of these cases isn’t available. I humbly suggest Manjaro team to be more transparent in this regard. Availability of PKGBUILDs is important.

I don’t know of an instance where PKGBUILD would have been intentionally omitted, but accidents happen from time to time. But thanks for the reminder =)

Are the package builds not based from gitlab? It should be done like almost every other distro does, including Arch. The built packages and their PKGBUILDs should be corresponding and available one-to-one

They are build locally and the PKGBUILDs are updated after that. We have been planning to automate builds so that packages would be built by updating the PKGBUILDs, because that would prevent mishaps like this. But so far nobody has found the requisite time to set it up.

Thanks for clarifying things up! :slight_smile:
I hope the build process gets automated soon.

Alright, here it is:
