| 82201d | 1 | #+TITLE: Auto-build package repository for Arch Linux |
| C | 2 | |
| 3 | * What is this? | |
| 4 | This is a set of files to auto-build a personal repository for Arch. | |
| 5 | It uses a chroot environment to build the packages, so that a build environment can be made on a server running a non-arch operating system. | |
| 303424 | 6 | |
| 82201d | 7 | * Set-up |
| 303424 | 8 | Edit ~create_chroot.sh~ variables at the top to your details. |
| C | 9 | Run ~sudo create_chroot.sh~, and create the git repository in ~/build/repo~ when prompted, with a remote repository. |
| a9dd2c | 10 | |
| C | 11 | You may also want to set ~MAKEFLAGS="-j$(nproc)"~ within the chroot to enable parallel compilation. |
| a45f88 | 12 | For xz compression, add the ~--threads=0~ option to COMPRESSXZ such that it reads ~COMPRESSXZ=(xz -c -z - --threads=0)~. |
| C | 13 | ccache may be useful to decrease the times of git packages, due to the little changes. |
| a9dd2c | 14 | |
| 82201d | 15 | * Usage |
| C | 16 | All scripts must be run as root. |
| 17 | To enter the chroot, use the ~enter_chroot.sh~ script. | |
| 18 | To add a package from the AUR, use the ~add_package.sh~ script, with the git URL as the argument. | |
| 19 | To build the packages use the ~build_packages.sh~ script, which will enter the chroot, and build the packages from the PKGBUILDs stored in ~/build/repo~. | |
| a9dd2c | 20 | |
| 82201d | 21 | The packages are built and put into the directory ~/build/repo/x86_64~, then pushed with git. |
| 3ce647 | 22 | Only the latest packages are stored in ~/build/repo/x86_64~ to avoid multiple older versions building up. |
| a9dd2c | 23 | |
| 70bd3e | 24 | To enable automatic building, create a cronjob for root, something of the sort of ~0 12 * * * /path/to/dir/build_packages.sh~ to build ever day at noon. |
| 303424 | 25 | |
| 533d81 | 26 | * To Dos |
| C | 27 | - Error catching for builds which fail. |
| 303424 | 28 | - Create a universal variables file |
