Holo Rust Packaging Tools

This repository contains two Python tools to help with packaging Rust applications in the approved way.

To use, invoke:

holo-rust-make-pkgbuild path/to/crate/source > PKGBUILD

This will yield a stub PKGBUILD in the current directory. You'll need to complete it with any missing details, but it will contain:

• the full sources list
• the full sha256sum array
• some basic metadata from the crate:
  • name
  • version
  • license
  • description
  • makedepends
• a complete prepare() function to process the sources (using holo-rust-vendor-sources, which is also in this repo).
• a minimal build() function, which you may need to extend.
• a no-op package() function that you will need to complete.

If you are updating an existing PKGBUILD, you probably want to generate the new PKGBUILD alongside the old one, and copy over any existing customisations. Unfortunately, there's no simple way to do this automatically, given that a PKGBUILD is just a bash script.
