Introduction
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The `xbps-packages` repository contains all `source` packages that are the
|
|
|
|
recipes to download, compile and build binary packages for `Void`.
|
|
|
|
Those `source` package files are called `templates`.
|
|
|
|
|
2013-11-22 16:51:38 +00:00
|
|
|
The `template files` are `GNU bash` shell scripts that must define some required/optional
|
2013-11-22 11:46:24 +00:00
|
|
|
`variables` and `functions` that are processed by `xbps-src` (the package builder)
|
|
|
|
to generate the resulting binary packages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A simple `template` example is as follows:
|
|
|

|
|

|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
2013-11-22 11:46:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are two main `sections` in a template: the `source section` and the
|
|
|
|
`package section`. The `source section` contains definitions to download, build
|
|
|
|
and install the package files to a `fake destdir`. The `package section`
|
|
|
|
contains the definitions to how the resulting binary packages are generated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A template always requires at least a `source section` and a `package section`;
|
|
|
|
multiple `package sections` can be defined to generate `multiple binary packages`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Don't worry if anything is not clear as it should be. The reserved `variables`
|
|
|
|
and `functions` will be explained later. This `template` file should be created
|
|
|
|
in a directory matching `$pkgname`, i.e: `xbps-packages/srcpkgs/foo/template`.
|
|
|
|
If everything went fine after running `xbps-src build-pkg` a binary package
|
|
|
|
called `foo-1.0_1.<arch>.xbps` will be generated in the local repository.
|
|
|
|
|
2013-12-15 10:22:00 +00:00
|
|
|
Additional binary packages (those defined in `_package() blocks` need a
|
|
|
|
symlink to the `main` package, like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/srcpkgs
|
|
|
|
|- foo <- directory
|
|
|
|
| |- template
|
|
|
|
|- foo-devel <- symlink to `foo`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Otherwise dependencies requiring those packages won't find its `template`
|
|
|
|
file.
|

Package build phases
|
|
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Building a package consist of the following phases:
|
|
|
|
|
2013-11-22 16:51:38 +00:00
|
|
|
*fetch*::
|
2013-12-31 06:42:58 +00:00
|
|
|
This phase downloads required sources for a `source package`, as defined by
|
|
|
|
the `distfiles` variable or `do_fetch()` function.
|
2013-11-22 11:46:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2013-11-22 16:51:38 +00:00
|
|
|
*extract*::
|
2013-12-31 06:42:58 +00:00
|
|
|
This phase extracts the `distfiles` files into `$wrksrc` or executes the `do_extract()`
|
|
|
|
function, which is the directory to be used to compile the `source package`.
|
2013-11-22 11:46:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2013-11-22 16:51:38 +00:00
|
|
|
*configure*::
|
2013-12-31 06:42:58 +00:00
|
|
|
This phase executes the `configuration` of a `source package`, i.e `GNU configure scripts`.
|
2013-11-22 11:46:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2013-11-22 16:51:38 +00:00
|
|
|
*build*::
|
2013-12-31 06:42:58 +00:00
|
|
|
This phase compiles/prepares the `source files` via `make` or any other compatible method.
|
2013-11-22 11:46:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2013-11-22 16:51:38 +00:00
|
|
|
*install-destdir*::
|
2013-12-31 06:42:58 +00:00
|
|
|
This phase installs the `package files` into a `fake destdir`, via `make install` or
|
|
|
|
any other compatible method.
|
2013-11-22 11:46:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2013-11-22 16:51:38 +00:00
|
|
|
*build-pkg*::
|
2013-12-31 06:42:58 +00:00
|
|
|
This phase builds the `binary packages` with files stored in the `package destdir`.
|
2013-11-22 11:46:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`xbps-src` supports running just the specified phase, and if it ran
|
|
|
|
successfully, the phase will be skipped later (unless its work directory
|
|
|
|
`${wrksrc}` is removed with `xbps-src clean`).
|
|
|
|
|

build style scripts
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
2013-11-22 11:46:24 +00:00
|
|
|
The `build_style` variable specifies the build method to build and install a
|
|
|
|
package. It expects the name of any available script in the
|
|
|
|
`/usr/share/xbps-src/build_style` directory. Please note that required packages
|
|
|
|
to execute a `build_style` script must be defined via `hostmakedepends`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The current list of available `build_style` scripts is the following:
|
|
|
|
|
2013-11-22 16:51:38 +00:00
|
|
|
*cmake*::
|
2013-12-31 06:42:58 +00:00
|
|
|
For packages that use the CMake build system, configuration arguments
|
|
|
|
can be passed in via `configure_args`.
|
2013-11-22 11:46:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2013-11-22 16:51:38 +00:00
|
|
|
*configure*::
|
2013-12-31 06:42:58 +00:00
|
|
|
For packages that use non-GNU configure scripts, at least `--prefix=/usr`
|
|
|
|
should be passed in via `configure_args`.
|
2013-11-22 11:46:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2013-11-22 16:51:38 +00:00
|
|
|
*gnu-configure*::
|
2013-12-31 06:42:58 +00:00
|
|
|
For packages that use GNU configure scripts, additional configuration
|
|
|
|
arguments can be passed in via `configure_args`.
|
2013-11-22 11:46:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2013-11-22 16:51:38 +00:00
|
|
|
*gnu-makefile*::
|
2013-12-31 06:42:58 +00:00
|
|
|
For packages that use GNU make, build arguments can be passed in via
|
|
|
|
`make_build_args` and install arguments via `make_install_args`. The build
|
|
|
|
target can be overriden via `make_build_target` and the install target
|
|
|
|
via `make_install_target`.

|
|
|
*meta*::
|
2013-12-31 06:42:58 +00:00
|
|
|
For `meta-packages`, i.e packages that only install local files or simply
|
|
|
|
depend on additional packages. This build style does not install
|
|
|
|
dependencies to the root directory, and only checks if a binary package is
|
|
|
|
available in repositories.

|
|
Some packages might be built with different build options to enable/disable
|
|
|
|
additional features; `xbps-src` allows you to do this with some simple tweaks
|
|
|
|
to the `template` file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following variables may be set to allow package build options:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*build_options*::
|
2013-12-31 06:42:58 +00:00
|
|
|
Sets the build options supported by the source package.
|
2013-12-28 11:12:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*build_options_default*::
|
2013-12-31 06:42:58 +00:00
|
|
|
Sets the default build options to be used by the source package.
|
2013-12-28 11:12:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*desc_option_<option>*::
|
2013-12-31 06:42:58 +00:00
|
|
|
Sets the description for the build option `option`. This must match the
|
|
|
|
keyword set in *build_options*.
|
2013-12-28 11:12:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After defining those required variables, you can check for the
|
|
|
|
`build_option_<option>` variable to know if it has been set and adapt the source
|
|
|
|
package accordingly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following example shows how to change a source package that uses GNU
|
|
|
|
configure to enable a new build option to support PNG images:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
# Template file for 'foo'
|
|
|
|
pkgname=foo
|
|
|
|
version=1.0
|
|
|
|
revision=1
|
|
|
|
build_style=gnu-configure
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Package build options
|
|
|
|
build_options="png"
|
|
|
|
desc_option_png="Enable support for PNG images"
|
|
|
|
|
2013-12-28 11:21:09 +00:00
|
|
|
# To build the package by default with the `png` option:
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# build_options_default="png"
|
|
|
|
|
2013-12-28 11:12:04 +00:00
|
|
|
if [ "$build_option_png" ]; then
|
|
|
|
configure_args+=" --with-png"
|
|
|
|
makedepends+=" libpng-devel"
|
|
|
|
else
|
|
|
|
configure_args+=" --without-png"
|
|
|
|
fi
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
2013-12-28 11:21:09 +00:00
|
|
|
The supported build options for a source package can be shown with xbps-src:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
$ xbps-src show-options foo
|
|
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Build options can be enabled with the `-o` flag of xbps-src:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
$ xbps-src -o option,option1 foo
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Build options can be disabled by prefixing them with `~`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
$ xbps-src -o ~option,~option1 foo
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Both ways can be used together to enable and/or disable multiple options
|
|
|
|
at the same time with xbps-src:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
$ xbps-src -o option,~option1,~option2 foo
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
2013-12-28 11:12:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2013-12-28 11:26:09 +00:00
|
|
|
The build options can also be shown for binary packages via `xbps-query(8)`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
$ xbps-query -R --property=build-options foo
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------

Package section
|
|
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Mandatory functions
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
A `package section` needs at least one mandatory function matching the
|
|
|
|
`$pkgname` of the `source section`: `<pkgname>_package()`. Multiple binary
|
|
|
|
packages with the same template can be created by adding additional
|
|
|
|
`<pkg>_package()` functions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Those `<pkg>_package()` functions are run in alphabetical order, with the
|
|
|
|
exception of the `<pkgname>_package()` function, which is always the last one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Optional variables
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
*conf_files*::
|
|
|
|
A list of configuration files the binary package owns; this expects full
|
|
|
|
paths, and multiple entries can be separated by blanks, i.e:
|
|
|
|
`conf_files="/etc/foo.conf /etc/foo2.conf"`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*noarch*::
|
|
|
|
If set, the binary package is not architecture specific and can be shared
|
|
|
|
by all supported architectures.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*nonfree*::
|
|
|
|
If set, the binary package will be put into the *non free* repository.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*nostrip*::
|
|
|
|
If set, the ELF binaries with debugging symbols won't be stripped. By
|
|
|
|
default all binaries are stripped.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run-time dependencies
|
|
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Dependencies for ELF executables or shared libraries are detected
|
|
|
|
automatically by `xbps-src`, hence run-time dependencies must not be specified
|
|
|
|
in the *package sections* with the following exceptions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- ELF binaries using dlopen(3).
|
|
|
|
- non ELF objects, i.e perl/python/ruby/etc modules.
|
|
|
|
- Overriding the minimal version specified in the `shlibs` file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The run-time dependencies for ELF binaries are detected by checking which SONAMEs
|
|
|
|
use and then the SONAMEs are mapped to a binary package name with a minimal
|
|
|
|
required version. The `shlibs` file in the `xbps-packages/common` directory
|
|
|
|
sets up the `SONAME pkgname>=version` mappings.
|

|
|
|
|
2013-12-31 06:42:58 +00:00
|
|
|
For example the `foo-1.0_1` package provides the `libfoo.so.1` SONAME and
|
|
|
|
software requiring this library will link to `libfoo`; the resulting binary
|
|
|
|
package will have a run-time dependency to `foo>=1.0_1` package as specified in
|
|
|
|
`common/shlibs`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
# common/shlibs
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
libfoo.so.1 foo-1.0_1
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The first field specifies the SONAME.
|
|
|
|
- The second field specified the package name and minimal version required.
|
|
|
|
- A third optional field specifies the architecture (rarely used).
