Setting this variable will make xbps-src use an alternative mirror for
remote repositories.
Using this variable one can change the remote repository for all
architectures in a single setting and without the need to modify
`etc/xbps.d/repos-remote*.conf`. This is much more convenient as it
allows changing remote repos without a dirty worktree.
To use just add a line like the following to `etc/conf`:
XBPS_MIRROR=https://repo-us.voidlinux.org/current
We also disable 00-repository-main.conf for cross so we don't use the
remote repo from the xbps package.
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.
This patchset contains multiple changes to xbps-src and
its required package "base-chroot" for building packages
via chroot.
- moved xbps.d(5) conf files to `etc/xbps.d`.
- renamed xbps.d(5) repository files to `etc/xbps.d/repos-{local,remote}*`.
- do not set `--repository` to any xbps command that supports it,
xbps-src now simply populates `rootdir/etc/xbps.d` with correct
settings (taking care of CHROOT_READY/IN_CHROOT).
- Unless `-C` is set (to preserve builddir/destdir/autodeps), when
entering to the chroot (if CHROOT_READY is set), xbps-src will
clean up the masterdir and then perform a system update to always
use a constant set of packages for that exact date.
- Improved some normal/error msgs.
- Includes support for `xbps>=0.58`.
- common/hooks: switch to bsdtar.
- base-chroot:
- base-chroot-musl is gone, now unified for glibc/musl.
- deps removed: gettext, mpfr, readline, texinfo, which, xz.
- deps changed: tar -> bsdtar.
Effectively this reduces dependencies in `base-chroot`, makes
it unified for musl and glibc, switches xbps-src to use `bsdtar`
rather than GNU `tar` and `xz`, gets rid of useless host dependencies
like GNU gettext, texinfo, etc.
I've been testing these changes for 1 month or so already,
I was able to build from scratch `base-system` for both native
and multiple targets, i.e `./xbps-src -a target -Nt pkg base-system`
Ensure this comment is always up-to-date by pointing the reader to the
xbps-create manual. Default is not xbps-create's, but comes from the
gen-pkg hook.
In order to make builds more reproducible SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH was set to
the time of the last commit that touched the template. Since trying to
reproduce a build from a different revision is futile (the most obvious
reason is that the source-revisions property includes the HEAD commit
hash) and looking up the commit in question can take several seconds,
stop wasting time an just use HEAD.
Closes: #12314 [via git-merge-pr]
Add another stage 'check' between 'build' and 'install'. It is be enabled using the
variable XBPS_CHECK_PKGS=yes and disabled if unset, set to "0" or "no" in your
local etc/conf.
A new xbps-src option `-q` for `quick` will disable XBPS_CHECK_PKGS by overriding it to 0.
If enabled, `common/xbps-src/shutils/xbps-src-docheck.sh` checks for an existing
`do_check()` function in the package's template and, if it exists, calls it.
A new template variable `checkdepends` may be present and list packages required
to run the `do_check()` function. Example: `checkdepends="bc unittest-cpp"`.
XBPS_PKG_COMPTYPE can be set via etc/conf to set your preferred compression
format; defaults to xz, like xbps-create(1).
The "none" setting is only available since 0.48 (unreleased).
Such packages should set the `restricted' var to allow building a binary package.
Note that such packages do not allow redistribution of sources and binaries,
so that it's up to the user if (s)he wants to pkg it locally.
Available implementations at common/chroot-style/*.sh. Each .sh
script there implements a chroot style to be able to chroot and bind
mount with multiple utilities. The current supported list:
- uunshare (uses xbps-uunshare(8))
- uchroot (uses xbps-uchroot(8))
- proot (uses proot, see http://proot.me)
The XBPS_CHROOT_CMD can be set in etc/conf to use a specific implementation,
and XBPS_CHROOT_CMD_ARGS to pass in additional arguments to the cmd.
Lots of pkgs seem to fail when _FORTIFY_SOURCE is defined in CPPFLAGS
due to a missing optimization level, and also some of them simply
ignore CPPFLAGS, therefore move it to CFLAGS to fix this once and for all.
Rather than setting them in the build profile, just set them in
etc/defaults.conf (overridable via etc/conf) to simplify the code.
- Also enable _FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 in CPPFLAGS.
- Also enable -z,relro in LDFLAGS.
As suggested by @chneukirchen.
common/build-profiles contains the compilation flags used in native
builds, and are defined per architecture:
- x86_64 (glibc)
- x86_64-musl (musl)
If XBPS_CFLAGS or XBPS_CXXFLAGS are set in `etc/conf`, the settings
from the build profile will be overrided.
Permanent global pkg build options can be defined via 'XBPS_PKG_OPTIONS' in etc/conf.
Permament per-pkg build options can be defined via 'XBPS_PKG_OPTIONS_<pkgname>' in etc/conf.
Close GH #452.
* update-bulk:
This rebuilds all pkgs in system repositories that are outdated.
with this xbps-bulk is now considered fully obsolete.
* update-sys:
This rebuilds all pkgs in system that are oudated and once built,
updates them via xbps-install(8).
This target defines a new configuration option "XBPS_SUCMD" that
is the command to execute to update the system. By default set to
"sudo sh -c".
CAVEATS
- need to check if binpkg is in local repo.
- need to add support to specify alternative rootdir.
- need to add support to specify system repos.
