The XBPS source packages collection

This repository contains the XBPS source packages collection to build binary packages for the Void Linux distribution.

To start using it first you'll need some external dependencies:

• bash
• fakeroot (only required by the bootstrap target)
• xbps >= 0.38

Make sure your user is added to the xbuilder group to be able to use xbps-uchroot(8), otherwise xbps-src won't work correctly.

Type:

 $ ./xbps-src -h

to see all available targets/options and start building any available package in the srcpkgs directory.

Configuration

The etc/defaults.conf file contains the possible settings that can be overrided through the etc/conf configuration file for the xbps-src utility; if that file does not exist, will try to read configuration settings from ~/.xbps-src.conf.

If you want to customize default CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS, don't override those defined in etc/defaults.conf, append to them instead via etc/conf i.e:

$ echo 'XBPS_CFLAGS+=" your flags here "' >> etc/conf
$ echo 'XBPS_LDFLAGS+=" your flags here "' >> etc/conf

Virtual packages

The etc/defaults.virtual file contains the default replacements for virtual packages, used as dependencies in the source packages tree.

If you want to customize those replacements, copy etc/defaults.virtual to etc/virtual and edit it accordingly to your needs.
