This git repository hosts PKGBUILDs that have been modified from the upstream
|
2012-06-21 14:42:00 +00:00
|
|
|
Arch Linux (http://archlinux.org) release in order to build on architectures
|
|
|
|
|
supported by Arch Linux ARM. Unmodified upstream packages do not belong here.

The aur folder contains a small selection of packages that have been requested
|
|
|
|
|
by the community to be pre-compiled and easily installed. However, you're free
|
|
|
|
|
to use the AUR just as you would on Arch, and we have included Yaourt to compile
|
|
|
|
|
and install directly from AUR (yaourt -AS packagename).
|
|
|

The alarm folder contains packages we have created or that have been submitted
|
|
|
|
|
to us to enable functionality on ARM systems in use by the community. These are
|
|
|
|
|
packages that are not available in either upstream or AUR.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-05-19 01:29:47 +00:00
|
|
|
These packages are meant to be built on Arch Linux ARM, found at
|
|
|
|
|
http://archlinuxarm.org

Layout:
|
|
|
|
|
core, extra, community: These folders contain packages only found in the
|
|
|
|
|
upstream repositories by the same name. Exceptions are packages such as our
|
|
|
|
|
kernels or other packages we feel belong within the scope of these repos.
|
|
|
|
|
aur: Contains packages that come from only from the AUR.
|
|
|
|
|
alarm: Contains packages that are our own, or changed significantly enough
|
|
|
|
|
from upstream or AUR to no longer qualify as being in those respective
|
|
|
|
|
locations here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New packages should be placed in the correct locations, with the packages base
|
|
|
|
|
folder name reflecting the 'pkgname' for single-package PKGBUILDs, or 'pkgbase'
|
|
|
|
|
for multiple-package PKGBUILDs. In the case of non-alarm packages, naming should
|
|
|
|
|
exactly match the base folder or package name as used upstream or in the AUR,
|
|
|
|
|
respectively. This will ensure correct package->version matching in the build
|
|
|
|
|
system update routines.

|
PKGBUILDs modified from upstream, AUR, or custom PKGBUILDs for the alarm repo
|
|
|
|
|
must have the author's name and email in the header along with a changelog of
|
|
|
|
|
what modifications have been done to have the package build correctly. This
|
|
|
|
|
allows us to identify and merge these changes into newer versions of the package.

|
Custom PKGBUILD variables for the build system:
|
|
|
|
|
noautobuild - if non-zero, the build system will mark the package as done and
|
|
|
|
|
not build it for any architecture.
|
|
|
|
|
buildarch - a bitmask of architectures to build the package for. This must be
|
2012-06-21 14:42:00 +00:00
|
|
|
set to the decimal equivalent of the bitmask (the number in parenthesis). If
|
|
|
|
|
left unspecified, it will default to 1 and build for v5 and v7h.
|
|
|
|
|
Sub-architectures must be specifically requested, they won't build by default.
|
|
|
|
|
- 0000 0001 ( 1) = the default, package will be built for all architectures
|
|
|
|
|
- 0000 0010 ( 2) = the package will be built only for armv5
|
|
|
|
|
- 0000 0100 ( 4) = the package will be built only for armv7h
|
|
|
|
|
- 0000 1000 ( 8) = reserved
|
|
|
|
|
- 0001 0000 (16) = build only for the armv6+vfp sub-architecture
|
|
|
|
|
- 0010 0000 (32) = build only for the armv7h+neon sub-architecture
|
|
|
|
|
highmem - if non-zero, the build system will mark the package as requiring a
|
|
|
|
|
builder that has more than 1GB of RAM/swap to build successfully.
