Repository layout

Path	Purpose
PKGBUILD	Arch package definition. Holds pkgver, pkgrel, sha256sums, dependencies, and the package() logic.
patches/keygen.js	Node script run during package(): generates idapro.hexlic and patches libida*.so. Version-specific.
ida-pro.desktop	Desktop entry, installed to /usr/share/applications.
.forgejo/workflows/build.yml	On push to main: build + clean-root install test. No publish.
.forgejo/workflows/release.yml	On tag push: build, test, changelog, Forgejo release, push to Arch registry.
cliff.toml	git-cliff config — conventional commits, grouped changelog.
README.md	Short version of this wiki.
.gitignore	Ignores *.run, build output (pkg/, src/, *.pkg.tar.*), *.log, .env.

Not in git

• ida-pro_94_x64linux.run — the installer. Lives in the generic registry; CI downloads it per build. A local copy may be present for manual builds.
• idapro.hexlic — generated at build time by keygen.js.
• .env — local only, not read by CI.

package() steps (PKGBUILD)

1. Copy the .run into $pkgdir, run it unattended via fakechroot chroot with --prefix /opt/ida-pro, then delete it.
2. Run patches/keygen.js from inside $pkgdir/opt/ida-pro (it resolves all paths relative to its CWD).
3. Fail the build if idapro.hexlic is missing/empty, if the keygen logs Pattern not found, or if no libida* was patched.
4. Strip execute bits from data files, restore them on the real binaries (ida, idat, hv, lc, …), fix docs/ permissions.
5. Remove the bundled uninstaller.
6. Install the .desktop file, symlink /usr/bin/ida, the icon, and the license.
