AUR packaging
Two packages for the headless TutaBridge daemon (CLI only, no GUI, so no Node / Tauri / webkit dependencies):
| Directory | AUR package | What it does |
|---|---|---|
tutabridge-git/ |
tutabridge-git |
Builds the tutabridge binary from the latest commit (needs the Rust toolchain). |
tutabridge-bin/ |
tutabridge-bin |
Downloads the prebuilt x86_64 binary from the GitHub release. No build. |
Each directory holds a PKGBUILD and a .SRCINFO. They install
/usr/bin/tutabridge plus a user systemd unit.
Local build / test (on Arch)
cd packaging/aur/tutabridge-bin # or tutabridge-git
makepkg -si # build + install
namcap PKGBUILD # lint
First run
The daemon resumes a saved keyring session on start, so sign in once interactively before enabling the service:
tutabridge # prompts for email, then Tuta password + TOTP
systemctl --user enable --now tutabridge # run it in the background from now on
Connect your mail client to 127.0.0.1:1143 (IMAP) and 127.0.0.1:1025
(SMTP), using the bridge password printed in the logs
(journalctl --user -u tutabridge).
Publishing to the AUR
Each AUR package is its own git repo. From an Arch host (so makepkg is
available to verify the .SRCINFO):
git clone ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/tutabridge-bin.git
cp packaging/aur/tutabridge-bin/PKGBUILD tutabridge-bin/
cd tutabridge-bin
makepkg --printsrcinfo > .SRCINFO # regenerate to be safe, then diff against the committed one
git add PKGBUILD .SRCINFO
git commit -m "Initial import" && git push
Same flow for tutabridge-git. The .SRCINFO files here are committed for
convenience, but regenerate them with makepkg --printsrcinfo on Arch before
pushing so they match the PKGBUILD exactly.
Updating on a new release
tutabridge-gitupdates itself:pkgver()derives0.r<commits>.<short-sha>from git, so a rebuild always tracks the latest commit. Only re-push if the PKGBUILD itself changes.tutabridge-binpins a release: bumppkgverand_tag, refresh the threesha256sums(updpkgsums), regenerate.SRCINFO, and push.
Notes
- The keyring Secret Service backend links system
libdbus(vialibdbus-sys), sodbusis a build + runtime dependency. It is present on essentially every Linux desktop already. - Keyring persistence additionally needs a running Secret Service provider (gnome-keyring / kwallet), listed as optdepends. Without one the daemon still works but asks for the Tuta password on every start.
