Devtools - development tools for Arch Linux
This repository contains tools for the Arch Linux distribution for building and maintaining official repository packages.
Building
When building official distro packages the BUILDTOOLVER
needs to be set to the
exact label of the release package in order to allow to detect the exactly used
devtools version. This is required for reproducible builds to fetch the according
files like makepkg.conf
.
BUILDTOOLVER="${pkgver}-${pkgrel}-${arch}" make all
Development
For local development testing, there is a convenience wrapper for pkgctl
that
will automatically build the project and proxy all calls to the local build directory:
./test/bin/pkgctl --help
Releasing
- bump the version in the Makefile
- Commit everything as
Version $(date +"%Y%m%d")
- Create a new tag
git tag -s $(date +"%Y%m%d")
- Push changes
- Upload the source tarball with
make dist upload
- Update the package
