Git package from aur build with every update
I've added openscad-git to my aur-packages. I realized that now, Everytime I run
sudo akshara update the git repo is pulled and built from scratch which takes quite some time. Is this by design? Couldn't we somehow check the revision I'd against the one from the last install...?8 Replies
Solution
each time you update you're making a whole new system
so package install won't cache anything for AUR builds
closing since this isn't an issue, but rather a missing feature
I'm pretty new to blendos, but I like it and I'm a programmer. Could you give me a hint to where such a feature would need to be implemented? Not promising anything, but I would at least take a look.
What's the difference between this repo on GitHub (https://github.com/blend-os/akshara) vs. the following one on git.blendos.co: https://git.blendos.co/blendOS/system-tools/akshara

A modern take on managing and updating operating systems. - blend-os/akshara
github repo is out of date
the github org as a whole has been discontinued (except for a couple repos)
new commits go to our gitlab server
Thanks.
@sesceu I'm a bit busy with other projects at the moment, but I'd be happy to help this if you have any questions or anything
Caching AUR packages was been on my todo list for a while but wasn't a high priority - I was mainly focused on making Akshara not rebuild the entire thing every time
but yeah i'm familiar with akshara so ask if you have any questions
worst case i'll give it a shot myself if/when i get the time and motivation
