Description Schlaefer 2024-11-06 20:02:00 UTC
SUMMARY

In the past kdesrc was available as kdesrc-build-git package in the Arch AUR. 

The documentation still referrers to kdesrc-build-git being available in AUR [1].

As far as I can filing this the package is replaced by kde-builder package?

OBSERVED RESULT

kdesrc-build-git isn't available in the AUR anymore.

EXPECTED RESULT

Some form of kdesrc-build should be available on Arch (i.e. in the AUR).

If kdesrc is gone completely from the AUR update the documentation on invent. [1] 

If it is replaced by kde-builder in a semi-official way like kdesrc-build-git was also update the documentation.

PS: Maybe next time offer a transition period with a "replace" label in the AUR PKGBUILD for a while.

Comment 1 Paul Worrall 2024-11-07 10:10:30 UTC
The only part of this bug report that applies to KDE is the out of date reference to the AUR package in the README.md for kdesrc-build.  The choice of what goes into and comes out of the AUR, and when, is up to Arch Linux policy (i.e. downstream).
Comment 2 Andrew Shark 2025-05-14 10:19:33 UTC
Yes, the AUR package kdesrc-build is removed now. I replaced kdesrc-build with kde-builder.
On Arch Linux you can use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kde-builder-git, or just install it as described in the documentation.
