A AUR package generator, that generates (duh) aur packages of your rust applications.

* Installation:
#+BEGIN_SRC
cargo install cargo-aur-packer
#+END_SRC

* Usage:
Run
#+BEGIN_SRC
cargo aur-packer
#+END_SRC
in the root of your rust application.

If you haven't set the values, in the toml file, cargo-makepkg will ask you some questions, that you have to answer.

This will create a new folder in /target called
#+BEGIN_SRC
aur-package
#+END_SRC
with a MAKEPKG, and a hidden SRCINFO file.

You definitly should test this makepkg file with

#+BEGIN_SRC
cd target/aur-package
makepkg -si
#+END_SRC

And edit it to your needs.
You should, uncomment the last line in package(), if you have a license.

All you now have to do, is push the git repo in that dir, onto the aur.
You can do that, by doing the following:
- create a account on the aur
- add your public ssh key
- run (replace '<pkgbase>', with the name)
#+BEGIN_SRC
git remote add origin ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/<pkgbase>.git
#+END_SRC
- run
#+BEGIN_SRC
git fetch
#+END_SRC
- and then push the git repo
#+BEGIN_SRC
git push -u remote origin
#+END_SRC
More info about that, can be found here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_submission_guidelines#Submitting_packages


* Alternatives and differences to those
This is basically a fork of this: https://github.com/kstep/cargo-pkgbuild/, but there is a major difference, see below.
and similar to this:
https://github.com/fosskers/cargo-aur.
Other (similar) programs include:
- https://github.com/brandonio21/cargo-makepkg
- https://github.com/wdv4758h/cargo-arch

The only difference to cargo-pkgbuild, cargo-makepkg and cargo-arch is that you don't have to have keep rust installed for it to work and the difference to cargo-aur is, that this isn't a binary package, but a source based one.

Conclusion: their packages suck, while mine doesn't.
