A couple of problems with AUR about antimicrox HOT 8 CLOSED

1- The aur release here could be a binary release and antimicrox-git stay as a source build.
2- As we fixed ARM builds, it could be added to arch inside PKGBUILD (with the next release I assume)

You should report this to the AUR, not here. It is doubtful that they would look here often enough to notice such a suggestion. Moreover, according to AUR standards, such a package should be called antimicrox-bin. A package compiled from sources without suffix -bin should not work as you suggest.

Of course you can build for any supported arch, but the builder VM's arch (i.e. its build chain) needs to be the target arch. It is supported, but maybe not for free. Worth checking out: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/run-on-architecture

lets not confuse Arch Linux and arch(architecture) :D

yes, the AUR standards suggest to use the sources for build the package, if a package is built using an already compiled binary it should use -bin suffix to identify it. The idea with -git versions is to have a build with the last sources (even a non-release version) in order to have an early access to the last changes.
I could add the arm support for arch, however I don't have how to test it, so any issue caused for using other arch need to be solved through comments in order to fix it without affect the x_64 arch.

Add me in comments as @frealgagu in order to have a trace and being able to follow the issues in github.

As a part of CI we could build for Arch Linux, the aur package could pull the file and jsut install it.
Just mentioning it when the CI discussion is hot.

It is a good idea, but is it possible to build arch binaries on ubuntu?
I am asking, because GitLab runners ubuntu is the only one available Linux distro there.

No problem, my comment above solves another issue here 😆

1- The aur release here could be a binary release and antimicrox-git stay as a source build.

I think this one is cleared now

2- As we fixed ARM builds, it could be added to arch inside PKGBUILD (with the next release I assume)

This is out of my scope.
But I am not sure whether is it worth spending time (at least now) for preparing packages for arm.
According to flatpak download stats popularity of arm is too small to invest time in them.
But anyway this decision belongs to package maintainer, not me.
