Arch CVS & SVN PKGBUILD guidelines

From ArchWiki

(Redirected from Arch CVS/SVN PKGBUILD guidelines)

This is actually very easy and doesn't require any special knowledge. However, the more you know about cvs and svn the easier it is. Many people introduce custom variables into the PKGBUILD that can overcomplicate things. These are not really necessary but do help to clarify the syntax of the cvs/svn/git commands, which can appear quite complex.

[edit] A few tips

Suffix pkgname with -cvs or -svn or -git where applicable - this prevents confusion with non-development versions e.g. fluxbox-svn or fvwm-cvs vs fluxbox and fvwm.
When makepkg is run it will check for newer revisions and then bump pkgver to the latest. If this is not what you want see the --holdver in man makepkg
You must also be careful about pacman conflicts. For example fluxbox-svn will conflict with fluxbox. In this case you need to use the conflicts= field

conflicts=('fluxbox')

You should also use the provides= field so that pkgs that require fluxbox to be installed recognize your fluxbox-svn pkg as fluxbox

provides=('fluxbox')

You should AVOID using replaces= it generally causes unnecessary problems

When using/defining the cvsroot use anonymous:@ rather than anonymous@ to avoid having to press enter to give blank password OR anonymous:password@ - if a password is required.
cvs and svn PKGBUILDs may not require a source or md5sum array but these fields must be included in the PKGBUILD if you wish to submit it to the AUR, otherwise the pkg will be rejected. They may be left blank though.

source=()
md5sums=()

It is rarely necessary to use the pkgrel field when building CVS/SVN/GIT pkgs - any changes to the pkg will often be on another day and so are usually accounted for by a change in pkgver (assuming pkgver is used to hold a date format)
don't forget to include cvs or subversion in makedepends= as necessary
to preserve the integrity of the checked out code it is usually possible to build in a separate build dir e.g. having checked out source code to src/$_cvsmod from $startdir you can use:

  mkdir src/$_cvsmod-build

  cd src/$_cvsmod-build
  ../$_cvsmod/configure

OR if that fails you can try:

  cp -r src/$_cvsmod src/$_cvsmod-build
  cd src/$_cvsmod-build

With the introduction of the AUR it is most important to avoid using backtick execution to create pkg variables
- For cvs pkgs you should avoid pkgver=`date +%y%m%d` - this also interferes with the functionality of the AUR. Instead it is still possible to use a date format for the $pkgver variable and to use the cvs -D option to check out code from that date (see below)
- For svn you can use the revision number. An easy way to find the revision number is to use the following command:

svn log $_svntrunk --limit 1 | sed -e '/^r/!d' -e 's/^r\([0-9]\+\) .*/\1/;q'

That command grabs the most recent log entry from the svn repo and finds the revision number, which is prefixed with an r. This is from the fluxbox svn log, the revision number is in the top left, r4084

Changed some *Focus options, just to make some things a bit more clear.
the "Sloppy" was always a bit .. imprecise.

[edit] Example CVS PKGBUILD

Here is a PKGBUILD for bmp-cvs that utilizes some of the tips above:

# Contributor:  Lukas Sabota <punkrockguy318@comcast.net>
# Contributor: dibblethewrecker dibblethewrecker.at.jiwe.dot.org
pkgname=bmp-cvs
pkgver=20050728
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A multimedia player that uses the WinAmp 2.x UI, GTK2, and is based on XMMS. This will checkout and package the latest CVS version."
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://beepmp.sourceforge.net/"
license=('GPL')
depends=('gtk2' 'libvorbis' 'alsa-lib' 'audiofile' 'libglade' 'id3lib' 'x-server')
provides=('bmp')
conflicts=('bmp')
makedepends=('cvs')
install=$pkgname.install

_cvsroot=":pserver:anonymous:@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/beepmp"
_cvsmod="bmp"

build() {
  cd ${srcdir}

  msg "Connecting to $_cvsmod.sourceforge.net CVS server...."
  if [ -d $_cvsmod/CVS ]; then
    cd $_cvsmod
    cvs -z3 update -d
  else
    cvs -z3 -d $_cvsroot co -D $pkgver -f $_cvsmod
    cd $_cvsmod
  fi
  ./autogen.sh

  msg "CVS checkout done or server timeout"
  msg "Starting make..."

  cp -r ../$_cvsmod ../$_cvsmod-build
  cd ../$_cvsmod-build

  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=${pkgdir} install || return 1

  install -d ${pkgdir}/usr/share/xmms/Skins
  mv ${pkgdir}/usr/share/bmp/Skins/* ${pkgdir}/usr/share/xmms/Skins
  rmdir ${pkgdir}/usr/share/bmp/Skins

  rm -r ${srcdir}/$_cvsmod-build
}
# vim:syntax=sh

[edit] Example SVN PKGBUILD

If you use the source command on the PKGBUILD first it will store the _svntrunk and _svnmod variables. So if you run :

source PKGBUILD
svn info $_svntrunk

you can get the revision number(Or,Last Changed Rev) which can be used in pkgver

# Contributor:  Lukas Sabota <punkrockguy318@comcast.net>
# Contributor: dibblethewrecker dibblethewrecker.at.jiwe.dot.org
pkgname=fluxbox-svn
pkgver=4084

pkgdesc="The bleeding edge version of a lightweight yet \
         customizable windowmanager for X"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')

license=('GPL')

depends=('bash' 'x-server')
makedepends=('subversion')
conflicts=('blackbox' 'fluxbox' 'fluxbox-devel' 'fluxbox-cvs')
provides=('fluxbox')

source=()
md5sums=()

_svntrunk=svn://svn.berlios.de/fluxbox/trunk
_svnmod=fluxbox

build() {
  cd ${srcdir}

  if [ -d $_svnmod/.svn ]; then
    (cd $_svnmod && svn up -r $pkgver)
  else
    svn co $_svntrunk --config-dir ./ -r $pkgver $_svnmod
  fi

  msg "SVN checkout done or server timeout"
  msg "Starting make..."

  cp -r $_svnmod $_svnmod-build
  cd $_svnmod-build

  ./autogen.sh

  # fix for crap fb issue
  mkdir data
  cp ../$_svnmod/data/keys data/

  ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-xinerama --enable-imlib2 --enable-debug
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=${pkgdir} install

  rm -rf ${srcdir}/$_svnmod-build
}

[edit] Example GIT PKGBUILD

# Contributor: Your Name <your@mail.org>
pkgname=compiz-git
pkgver=20060707
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Composite and window manager for Xgl"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://en.opensuse.org/Compiz"
license=('GPL')
depends=('xgl-cvs' 'mesa-xgl-cvs' 'cairo-devel' 'libxevie' \
         'startup-notification' 'libpng'  'libxdamage' \
         'libxrandr' 'libwnck-compiz' 'gnome-desktop' 'control-center' \
         'libsvg-cairo' 'libxcomposite')
makedepends=('git')
conflicts=()
replaces=()
backup=()
install=compiz.install
source=(compiz-intel-copy-pixel-issue-workaround-1.diff)
md5sums=('10a157b86d528bca2be6731c5eaff7b3')

_gitroot="git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/app/compiz"
_gitname="compiz"

build() {
export CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -I/opt/mesa-xgl-cvs/include"
  cd ${srcdir}
  msg "Connecting to git.freedesktop.org GIT server...."

  if [ -d ${srcdir}/$_gitname ] ; then
  cd $_gitname && git pull origin
  msg "The local files are updated."
  else
  git clone $_gitroot
  fi

  msg "GIT checkout done or server timeout"
  msg "Starting make..."

  cp -r ${srcdir}/$_gitname ${srcdir}/$_gitname-build
  cd ${srcdir}/$_gitname-build
  patch -Np0 -i ${srcdir}/compiz-intel-copy-pixel-issue-workaround-1.diff

  ACLOCAL="aclocal -I /opt/gnome/share/aclocal" ./autogen.sh --host=${CHOST} \
    --prefix=/usr \
    --infodir=/usr/share/info \
    --mandir=/usr/man \
    --sysconfdir=/opt/gnome/etc \
    --enable-gnome \
    --enable-libsvg-cairo \
    --enable-gconf-dump \
    --disable-kde || return 1
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=${pkgdir} install

  find ${pkgdir} -type f -name '*.la' -exec rm {} \;
}

As you see, I use "-git" suffix in the pkgname, and two variables, _gitroot and _gitname for identify the repositories and the name of the package. I need to introduce an if condition:

if [ -d ${srcdir}/$_gitname ] ; then
cd $_gitname && git pull origin
msg "The local files are updated."
else
git clone $_gitroot
fi

because we have two commands, one for updating source and one for getting it. I copy the source code in a "-build" directory ( the same thing that we do with -cvs and -svn program ).
