Submodules - Initialization and Updating

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:

AUR=(xorg-meta riseup-vpn nordic-kde-git ...)

for pkg in "${AUR[@]}"; do
  git submodule add "https://aur.archlinux.org/${pkg}.git" pkg/"${pkg}"
done

To initialize the submodules, run

git submodule init

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

git submodule foreach 'if git pull | grep '\''^Updating'\''; then printf " %s" "$(basename $sm_path)" >> $toplevel/build-pkg/pkglist.tmp; fi'

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:

./build-all.sh
