You really don't see the difference between a deterministic script installing a tarball pinned by its hash, and "sudo chatgpt install master branch of this repo"?
Yes, the second option gives me an easily inspectable list of results (as I can see all the tool calls the model made). The deterministic script is probably overly complex and hard to read, maybe supports ten billion platform combinations.
(honestly I think the way that arch packages work is really nice compared to most other distros: you can almost copy and paste the README of a project into one and have a package)
Here's the most complicated one I found, building a browser:
I run it on my milk-v duo s risk sbc. The risk-v version is maintained by a few dedicated people, and the milk-v specifics I had to fix myself. But it works :)
I knew there's an unofficial version for ARM. I meant more that the vast majority of AUR packages target x64 only because that's what 'official' Arch supports.
That being said, didn't know there's a RISC V effort as well now, so TIL.
