The qpm Qt package manager is dead and discontinued. It cannot work due to the qpm.io web server providing the Qt package registry having been shut down.

The qpm Qt package manager is dead and discontinued. It cannot work due to the qpm.io web server providing the Qt package registry having been shut down.

I've tried several ways to build this package. It is not building with manual intervention through makepkg or using Yay or even trying to Git clone it. I checked the links for the qpm site and Github pages. Both are dead links and the website is up for sale. Any suggestions for how one can build this application would be welcome.

Got the go.mod missing message too. I just changed a go variable to make it work.

go env -w GO111MODULE=auto

@VaguelyUseful, add https to the source:

source=("qpm.io::git+https://github.com/Cutehacks/qpm#tag=${pkgver}")

This package won't clone from github for the following reason...

fatal: remote error: The unauthenticated git protocol on port 9418 is no longer supported. Please see https://github.blog/2021-09-01-improving-git-protocol-security-github/ for more information. ==> ERROR: Failure while downloading qpm.io git repo

I needed to use an older go package for this to build (e.g. 2:1.15.5-2) because of missing go.mod file

My apologies for the delaying in addressing this; I have updated the recipe in accordance with @Skycoder42's points

Please update according to Skycoder42's comments. This PKGBUILD is currently broken.

Please do not use $startdir. It has been deprecated (See https://www.archlinux.org/pacman/PKGBUILD.5.html) and will fail for builds that use the makepkg env vars like BUILDDIR

Instead, you should simply use relative path. Here are the relevant parts from the makepkg that need to be changed:

build() {
  local _qpm_dir="${srcdir}/qpm.io"
  cd $_qpm_dir
  local git_sha1=$(git rev-parse HEAD | cut -c1-8)

  cd $srcdir
  export GOPATH="$srcdir/.."
  go build -ldflags "-X qpm.io/qpm/core.Version=${pkgver} -X qpm.io/qpm/core.Build=${git_sha1}" qpm.io/qpm
}

package() {
  install -Dm755 "${pkgname}" "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/${pkgname}"
}

qpm v0.11.0
