A Small Contribution to the Arch Community: Updating the cleanpy AUR Package

Hey everyone,

I've got some exciting news for the Arch Linux community! 🥳 I've just updated the cleanpy package on the Arch User Repository (AUR) to its latest version.

The backstory

I recently adopted the cleanpy package on the AUR. It was orphaned, and I decided to step up as the new maintainer. The previous version was a little outdated, so I've worked on bringing it to the latest upstream release. This ensures that Arch Linux users get the most recent features and bug fixes.

What's New?

I've pushed a new PKGBUILD to the AUR that updates cleanpy to the newest version. This change not only brings the latest features, but also ensures the package remains compatible with the current Arch Linux ecosystem. I've tested the new PKGBUILD and can confirm that the package builds and works as expected.

How to get it

If you're already using cleanpy from the AUR, you can simply update your system with your favorite AUR helper (like yay or paru).

Bash

yay -Syu
# or
paru -Syu
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

If you're a new user, you can install it directly from the AUR:

Bash

yay -S cleanpy
# or
paru -S cleanpy
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

I'm committed to keeping this package maintained and will continue to update it as new versions are released. Contributing to the Arch Linux community has been a rewarding experience, and I'm happy to help keep the AUR a reliable resource for everyone.
