* docs: polish project documentation for a clearer public surface
Rewrite the README and supporting docs for a more professional first
impression: less emoji and badge noise, install-first structure, and a
real documentation index. Add a Contributor Covenant, tighten SECURITY
and GitHub templates, and make distro/update guides read as product docs
instead of internal status notes.
* docs: split install guide and add changelog plus support pages
Break INSTALL.md into a short primary guide, manual/PyPI package lists,
and troubleshooting. Add root CHANGELOG.md and SUPPORT.md, wire them
into the docs index and README, and drop the outdated screenshot lag note
now that v0.15 assets are on main.
* docs: humanize PR copy and remove em dashes
Strip em/en dashes from the documentation rewritten in this PR, fix
mid-sentence colon fallout from that pass, and smooth a few stiff
phrases so the public docs read more natural.
* docs: list Faster Whisper after rebase onto main
Installer and CLI already accept faster_whisper. Document it next to
the other engines, drop the outdated screenshot lag note, and keep the
on-device wording honest for local vs remote.
* feat(ci): gate AUR PKGBUILD builds on every PR
Nothing ever ran makepkg on the PKGBUILD before a tag pushed it to AUR
users, and the channel broke twice that way (#736, #757) — a PKGBUILD
change did not even start a CI job, because no paths filter matched
packaging/aur/**.
The gate (packaging/aur/build-test.sh, run in archlinux:latest — the
AUR is a rolling channel, so the image stays deliberately unpinned):
- swaps the tag-archive source= for a git archive of the checkout under
the same filename and prefix, so build()/package() run unchanged and
the gate answers "does this commit build on Arch"
- installs depends/makedepends from the repos; python-pywhispercpp
(virtual, provided by the AUR backends, #579) and python-pynput (AUR)
are satisfied by a stub so makepkg still verifies the full depends
set, and pip-installed from the hash-pinned requirements/runtime.txt
for the import smoke
- runs namcap on the PKGBUILD and the built package, failing on errors
only (its warnings are noise around lazy imports and virtual depends)
- installs the package and imports the whole UI/recognition stack, plus
the vocalinux --version entry point
Part of #701 (phase 6).
* fix(ci): stop partial-upgrading in the AUR gate and correct the #736 attribution
AUR --no-isolation uses extra python-setuptools 84, so the <82 cap blocked the 0.16.0 rebuild. AUR pywhispercpp backends are still 1.4 and crash if we pass context_params; skip that argument below 1.5.
* feat(packaging): add AUR release package and CI publish
Ship packaging/aur/vocalinux for yay installs of tagged releases, wire
AUR publish into the release workflow (skipped until secrets are set),
and document one-time maintainer setup.
Fixes#116
* refactor(packaging): slim AUR PR to PKGBUILD + CI
Drop systemd unit, install script, website edits, and long docs.
Keep release PKGBUILD, minimal publish job, and short AUR setup notes.
