| 82201d | 1 | #+TITLE: Auto-build package repository for Arch Linux |
| C | 2 | |
| 3 | * What is this? | |
| 8ea4ef | 4 | This is a package autobuild solution for Arch Linux. |
| JG | 5 | It supports the automated building of packages from the AUR. |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | Currently it supports package signing and building clean from source. | |
| 8 | It can help to set itself up and generate GPG keys if need be. | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | The chroot files are here from an older version of this project and are here as I think they're interesting. | |

| 82201d | 12 | * Set-up |
| 8ea4ef | 13 | Edit the variables at the top of ~main.sh~ to suit your repository details. |
| JG | 14 | Have a look at the init function near the bottom of the file to decide if you want to run it. |
| 15 | If you decide to generate a GPG key, edit the name, comment and email so that it fits you. | |

| C | 17 | You may also want to set ~MAKEFLAGS="-j$(nproc)"~ within the chroot to enable parallel compilation. |
| a45f88 | 18 | For xz compression, add the ~--threads=0~ option to COMPRESSXZ such that it reads ~COMPRESSXZ=(xz -c -z - --threads=0)~. |
| C | 19 | ccache may be useful to decrease the times of git packages, due to the little changes. |

| 82201d | 21 | * Usage |
| 8ea4ef | 22 | To add a package ~main.sh add [package]~ should be run. Currently I only support adding one package at a time. |
| JG | 23 | To update all packages, use ~main.sh build-all~. A ~-f~ flag can be used to force a rebuild of all the packages. |
| 24 | To allow automatic building, use a cronjob or write a systemd unit, there are many guides out there, although I may add examples if I feel like it. | |

| f6854c | 27 | # - Multiple packages from a single PKGBUILD :: Some PKGBUILDs can create many packages at once, currently I am unable to handle this. |
| JG | 28 | - AUR dependency checking and automatic resolution :: Something like what aurutils does, maybe I can steal it from there |
| 29 | - Error catching for builds which fail. :: Have emailing, but nothing more advanced. Would be nice to have some basic error handling in the script | |
| 8c5114 | 30 | # - Create a universal variables file :: Not sure how useful this would be, but could be nice |
