+# Arch Linux development package
+
+This directory contains a draft `eglantine-git` PKGBUILD for the open Linux
+packaging request in [issue #167](https://github.com/Djihads80/Eglantine/issues/167).
+It builds the `nx2` branch from source against Arch's system Qt, SDL3 and FFmpeg.
+That avoids shipping Ubuntu-linked binaries to a rolling-release distribution
+and gives the Qt frontend access to the host's platform plugins, including
+Wayland when `qt6-wayland` is installed.
+
+## Local build
+
+On an up-to-date Arch Linux system, install the dependencies listed in
+`PKGBUILD`, then run:
+
+```sh
+makepkg --syncdeps --cleanbuild
+```
+
+For package review, also build it in a clean chroot with `extra-x86_64-build`
+and inspect the result with `namcap`. The source branch moves over time, so
+review the generated `.SRCINFO` after each `pkgver` update before publishing
+this recipe to the AUR.
+
+This recipe is a starting point for review, not an official AUR package. It
+does not modify the project's release binaries or CI workflow. The updater is
+disabled because package updates should be handled by pacman/AUR helpers.
