bump-version

name: bump-version description: This skill should be used when the user asks to "bump AUR version", "update AUR package version", "bump package version", "update PKGBUILD version", "bump to latest version", or mentions version bumping for AUR packages. Handles automatic version detection, checksum updates, and git commit/push to AUR. argument-hint: [version]

Bump an AUR package to a new version with automatic checksum updates and git push to AUR.

Target version: $ARGUMENTS

Workflow

1. Determine the new version:

   • If version argument provided, use it
   • Otherwise, automatically detect latest version from package source
   • Confirm auto-detected version with user before proceeding

2. Update PKGBUILD:

   • Set pkgver to new version (without 'v' prefix)
   • Run updpkgsums to regenerate checksums

3. Update metadata:

   makepkg --printsrcinfo > .SRCINFO
   

4. Commit and push:

   git add .
   git commit -m "chore: bump to <version>"
   git push
   

Version Detection by Source Type

NPM Packages

npm view <package-name> version

For scoped packages:

npm view @scope/package version

GitHub Releases (for -bin packages)

curl -s "https://api.github.com/repos/user/repo/releases/latest" | \
  grep '"tag_name":' | sed -E 's/.*"v([^"]+)".*/\1/'

Go Modules

curl -s "https://proxy.golang.org/module/@v/list" | tail -1

Crates.io (Rust)

curl -s "https://crates.io/api/v1/crates/<crate-name>" | jq -r '.crate.newest_version'

PyPI (Python)

curl -s "https://pypi.org/pypi/<package-name>/json" | jq -r '.info.version'

Git Repositories (-git packages)

For -git packages, the version is dynamically generated by pkgver() function. No manual bumping needed - rebuild the package to get the latest commit.

Parsing PKGBUILD for Source Type

To determine how to detect version, read the PKGBUILD and check:

1. NPM: Source contains registry.npmjs.org
2. GitHub Releases: Source contains github.com and -bin in pkgname
3. Go: Source contains proxy.golang.org or go.mod present
4. Crates.io: Source contains crates.io
5. PyPI: Source contains pypi.org or files.pythonhosted.org
6. Git (-git): pkgname ends with -git

Version Format

Always use version number without the 'v' prefix:

• ✅ 48.2.7
• ❌ v48.2.7

If upstream uses 'v' prefix in tags, strip it when setting pkgver.

Useful Commands

Error Handling

• Version not found: Inform user and ask for manual version input
• Checksum update fails: Verify source URL is correct and accessible
• Git push fails: Check AUR SSH credentials and remote configuration
