pkgbuilder

Docker based ArchLinux build environment.

This image provides a build environment for ArchLinux packages. It is based on the official archlinux:base-devel image, and can be used for example to work on packages without having to install dependencies on the host system.

It can handle dependencies coming both from the official repositories and from AUR, as well as importing PGP keys listed in validpgpkeys .

Usage

Run the image with the folder containing your PKGBUILD file mounted on the container's /pkg folder:

docker run --rm -v "$(pwd):/pkg" mdeous/pkgbuilder [build|makepkg] [ARGS]

• build: the container will install all the build dependencies using yay, and will then build the package using makepkg --clean --cleanbuild --force --noconfirm. Any additional arguments will be added to the call to makepkg. The resulting built package will be stored alongside the PKGBUILD file.

• makepkg: the container will run makepkg directly and pass all remaining arguments to it. This can be useful to run makepkg commands that don't require dependencies to be installed, like for example to show the package .SRCINFO content, or to compute dependencies checksums.

• If neither build nor makepkg is passed, the container will run the build command and pass all additional arguments to it.

At the end of the execution, the built package will be analyzed with namcap and display the results.

Additionally, the .SRCINFO file for the package can be automatically generated with the built package by passing a SRCINFO=1 environment variable to the container.

Shell Alias

To avoid having to type that long command line to run the container every time, the following shell alias can be used:

alias pkgbuilder='docker run --rm --name="pkgbuilder-$(basename ${PWD})" -v "${PWD}":/pkg mdeous/pkgbuilder:latest'
