# pkgbuilds.git - README - 2013-04-08
|
|
This repository hosts
|
|
[PKGBUILDs](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD) that have been
|
|
modified from the upstream [Arch Linux](http://archlinux.org) release in order
|
|
to build on architectures supported by [Arch Linux
|
|
ARM](http://archlinuxarm.org). Unmodified upstream packages do not belong
|
|
here.
|
|
|
|
These packages are meant to be built on Arch Linux ARM, found at
|
|
http://archlinuxarm.org
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Layout
|
|
New packages should be placed in the correct locations, with the package's 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.
|
|
|
|
### core, extra and 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 a selection of packages from the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/
|
|
"Arch User Repository") that have been highly 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`).
|
|
|
|
### alarm
|
|
Contains packages we have created or have been submitted to us to enable
|
|
functionality on ARM systems in use by the community. These are our own or
|
|
have changed significantly enough from upstream or AUR to no longer qualify as
|
|
being in those respective locations here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
##Custom PKGBUILD variables for the build system
|
|
These variables are used to help control the build system used by Arch Linux
|
|
ARM, and are not a part of the official PKGBUILD specification.
|
|
|
|
### noautobuild
|
|
If non-zero, the build system will mark the package as done and not build it
|
|
for any architecture. This should not be employed in regular use, and requires
|
|
access to a non-public interface for getting built packages into the repos.
|
|
|
|
### buildarch
|
|
A bitmask of architectures to build the package for. This must be set to the
|
|
decimal equivalent of the bitmask (the number in parenthesis). The values can
|
|
be combined (bitwise OR) to select more than one architecture. Without being
|
|
specified, the package will build for all architectures.
|
|
|
|
* `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) = the package will be build only for armv6h
|
|
|
|
### 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.
