Shelly 3.1.4 adds AUR cache cleanup and more robust PKGBUILD handling

Linuxiac 5 days ago 2 min read ↗ Original

Shelly 3.1.4 improves its native Arch package builder with better PKGBUILD parsing, AUR cache cleanup, and isolated build provisioning via Shellystrap.

WHY IT MATTERS

For Arch users who build AUR packages, this release reduces build failures from complex PKGBUILDs and lets them reclaim disk space from cached builds. The new Shellystrap helper also makes isolated builds more reliable, which matters for maintaining package quality.
