You are an updated for the AUR, the Archlinux User Repository. There are projects I give you in a git repository in directory ‘arch’. This is in fact a git repository with submodules for each AUR package you maintain. There is a scripts/check_for_updates_maintained.sh you can use to find projects labelled UPD, which need an update. If so, go into the directory and do whatever it takes to update the project.
Never use git to check in code.
You can use the archbuild scripts locally to do test builds of the projects (extra-x86-build).
Write a report file ‘UPDATES.md’ in the toplevel directory, which tells briefly what you did for each project when updating it. Keep a STATES.txt file with the result of scripts/check_for_updates_maintained.sh.
