Build packages from source

Fork this repository.

Then and adjust the following files:

• pkg/de-p1st-repo/arch-repo.cfg
  • For your build-machine, adjust section LOCAL MACHINE CONFIGURATION: Add absolute path of folder build-pkg/out to array LOCAL_PKG_DIRS as the build packages will be stored there.
  • For your mirror-server, adjust section REMOTE MIRROR SERVER CONFIGURATION accordingly.
• pkg/de-p1st-pacman/pacman.d/de-p1st
  • Add the address of your mirror-server.

Build de-p1st-repo:

cd build-pkg && sudo docker-compose run --rm makepkg de-p1st-repo

Install it on your build-machine and your mirror-server:

# On your local machine
sudo pacman -U out/de-p1st-repo*.pkg.tar.*

# Copy the package to your mirror-server and install it there as well!

Then you can start building all packages and adding them to your mirror-server:

cd build-pkg && ./build-all

Adding/removing AUR packages

There are several AUR packages added as submodules inside pkg. See build-pkg/pkglist-AUR.txt for a full list.

They were added in the following manner:

PKG=xml2
git submodule add "https://aur.archlinux.org/${PKG}.git" pkg/"${PKG}"
# echo "Add ${PKG} to 'build-pkg/pkglist-AUR.txt'. Each line represents one build stage."

And can be removed with:

PKG=xml2
git rm -f pkg/"${PKG}"
# echo "Above command should remove ${PKG} from '.gitmodules'."

If a package has been pushed to a remote repository, read pkg/de-p1st-repo/README.md for details on how to remove it from there.

Update submodules of AUR packages

To update all submodules and add those who received an update to build-pkg/pkglist.tmp, run

./git-pull

Build outdated AUR packages

The following command includes ./git-pull.

cd build-pkg && ./pull-and-build-outdated
