We call this "zig-build" instead of just "zig" as this build-style
relies on usage of the zig build system. In the future, other build
systems such as meson may support zig code. Furthermore, the zig
build system may be used to build C/C++ code as well, not just zig.
This abstracts away the `dracut -f -q --regenerate-all` that appears in
nvidia and zfs packages, allowing users to disable global regeneration,
use dracut (by default, to preserve existing behavior) or mkinitcpio.
Eventually, this can be extended with initramfs-tools if we like.
Closes: #31403
Also:
- rework most of the language in the Introduction
- move note about special characters in pkgname or version
- note restrictions to version field are caused partly by xbps-checkvers
- fix indentation of 'maintainer' item
Fix Manual accordingly, and also fix indentation to be compatible with
nearby items.
The two packages which set this variable set it explicitly to "no", so
it wasn't relied upon. From its description, it was recommended only for
git packages, which by default don't fit Void's packaging guidelines.
Removing to avoid anyone coming to rely on it.
Allows a template to define in which circumstances its do_check phase
should run, without requiring custom do_check definitions in each
template (also makes it easier to change how build styles do things
without checking as many templates).
Add to Manual and CONTRIBUTING as well.
this introduces a new build-style void-cross, which can be used
to write system crosstoolchain templates; this is to reduce the
amount of maintenance, resolve existing problems with the cross
toolchain templates and remove repeated code
Some packages have rather long test suites, with an option for a shorter
one. With this option, one can choose between shorter tests (-Q) or the
complete longer ones (-K).
This also allows CI to run only the shorter testsuites.
Make the appropriate changes to etc/default.conf and Manual.md as well.
- Remove .travis.yml, common/travis/docker.sh.
- Change references to travis to be more generic.
- Manual.md: Orient against using CI logs in broken= or nocross=.
