aurch VS libcurl

My personal AUR helper builds AUR packages in an nspawn container. Thinking about scripting the automation of running them in dedicated nspawn container as well.

I ended up writing my own AUR helper that sets up aurutils inside an nspawn container. It does prompt for inspecting and/or modifying git cloned files before building. However, it omits other typical AUR helper features like building/updating multiple packages at once. On the other hand, it transparently manages required gpg keys and AUR dependencies. https://github.com/Cody-Learner/aurch

I did it using a systemd nspawn container. I made my AUR helper as both an interesting scripting project and a proof of concept for myself. https://github.com/Cody-Learner/aurch

Reinventing the wheel has been an great way for me to learn more about shell scripting and Arch packaging in general. ie: https://github.com/Cody-Learner/aurch

I use pacman to work on non default locations in my AUR helper. https://github.com/Cody-Learner/aurch

I've been using my own AUR helper over the last year without issue. https://github.com/Cody-Learner/aurch

Then, in another terminal window, we use curl to hit the endpoint:

Made a PR to curl in line with the above: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/13338

Through the Fast Forward program, we give free services and support to open source projects and the nonprofits that support them. We support many of the world’s top programming languages (like Python, Rust, Ruby, and the wonderful Scratch), foundational technologies (cURL, the Linux kernel, Kubernetes, OpenStreetMap), and projects that make the internet better and more fun for everyone (Inkscape, Mastodon, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Terms of Service; Didn’t Read).

From the GitHub Issue itself, the maintainer did end up creating a PR to fix a related issue: https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/12983

Also, the bot filed another issue despite the complaints.

This Docker image is designed to support implementing Github Actions with Python. As of version 4.0.0., it starts with the official python docker image as the base which is a Debian OS. It specifically uses python:3-slim to keep the image size down for faster loading of Github Actions that use pyaction. On top of the base, we've installed curl gpg, git, and the GitHub CLI. We added curl and gpg because they are needed to install the GitHub CLI, and they may come in handy anyway (especially curl) when implementing a GitHub Action.
