| | | This is a package autobuild solution for Arch Linux. |

| | | It supports the automated building of packages from the AUR. |

| | | This is an automatic package building solution for Arch Linux. |
|---|
| | | It supports building packages from PKGBUILDs attached to git repositories, such as the AUR. |
|---|
| | | |

| | | Currently it supports package signing and building clean from source. |
|---|
| | | It can help to set itself up and generate GPG keys if need be. |

| | | Notifications can be sent using the sendmail command, which is supported in Postfix and OpenSMTPD. |

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

| | | |

| | |
|---|
| | | ccache may be useful to decrease the times of git packages, due to the little changes. |

| | | |
|---|
| | | * Usage |
|---|
| | | To add a package ~main.sh add [package]~ should be run. Currently I only support adding one package at a time. |
|---|
| | | To update all packages, use ~main.sh build-all~. A ~-f~ flag can be used to force a rebuild of all the packages. |
|---|
| | | To add a package ~main.sh add [package]~ should be run. |
|---|
| | | If a package fails to build, it can be manually rebuilt by reading it. |
|---|
| | | I find that removing and reading often solves any problems. |
|---|
| | | |
|---|
| | | Packages can be removed with ~main.sh remove [package]~. |
|---|
| | | This remove it from the repo, build folder and deletes any built versions in the repository directory. |

| | | To update all packages, use ~main.sh build-all~. |
|---|
| | | A ~-f~ flag can be used to force a rebuild of all the packages. |
|---|
| | | 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. |

| | | * To Dos |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | | - AUR dependency checking and automatic resolution :: Something like what aurutils does, maybe I can steal it from there |
|---|
| | | - Error catching for builds which fail. :: Have emailing, but nothing more advanced. Would be nice to have some basic error handling in the script |
|---|
| | | # - Create a universal variables file :: Not sure how useful this would be, but could be nice |
|---|
| | | # - Build parallelism :: Try and make packages build in parallel, place a lock on the repo file. |
|---|
| | | # - Add or remove multiple packages at a time :: Make it less tedious to add packages |
