PKGBUILD with AUR dependency
I was wondering what you would suggest is the best way to install an AUR package dependency so the PKGBUILD may be built and tested inside the chroot environment.
Ah, that never crossed my mind as a necessity, as most of the packages I test use repo packages as dependencies. I could add an option to permanently install a package to the chroot, but that wouldn't be ideal for testing purposes as that package would eventually become outdated unless regularly updated. To most accurately simulate a proper "from scratch" build, I could have this tool also build AUR dependencies, but that would significantly increase build times. As I don't have an opinion one way or another, which way would you prefer?
I think it makes the most sense to build from scratch each time to avoid problems.
It's just one package I maintain with one AUR dependency, has always been a bit of a pain haha.
Thanks for the response, and for this great program.
Yeah that feature would be nice.
