Set up Alpine Linux packaging environment with a breeze! Seethis blog post.
alpkg is a tool forall your Alpine packaging needs. It can create a chroot with preinstalled tools in a matter of seconds, set upaports repository, and fetch/update packages. Most importantly, it provides a split layout viaZellij for easy editing/buildingAPKBUILD files.
Usage: alpkg [init|edit|fetch|update] [<package>]Commands: init Initialize an Alpine chroot. edit <package> Edit or create a package. fetch <package> Fetch an existing package from the remote repository. update <package> Update the package on the remote repository. destroy Remove the chroot and repository.Options: --packager "Your Name <your@email.address>" The name and email address of the package maintainer. --aports "https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/<user>/aports" The URL of the remote APorts repository.Environment variables: CHROOT_DIR Directory for Alpine chroot. (default: /alpine) APORTS_DIR Directory for remote APorts repository. (default: /home/user/aports) PACKAGE_DIR Directory for APK packages built and stored. (default: /home/user/apkbuilds in chroot)To create an Alpine Linux chroot and initializeaports repository for packaging, simply run:
alpkg init --packager"Your Name <your@email.address>" --aports"https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/<user>/aports"
It is possible to pass options toalpine-chroot-install via environment variables.
Demo
* You need to create an account onhttps://gitlab.alpinelinux.org and fork theaports repository under your user.
* If you runalpkg init in your$HOME directory, the Alpine working directory will point to$HOME/apkbuilds.
To create a newAPKBUILD, you can use theedit command. Note that it usesnewapkbuild under the hood so you can passnewapkbuild options to it:
alpkg edit<newapkbuild_opts><package_name>
For example:
alpkg edit -r -d"A highly customizable changelog generator" -l"GPL-3.0-only" -u"https://github.com/orhun/git-cliff" git-cliff
Or you can generate an empty package with the following command:
alpkg edit testpkg
Demo
If the packagealready exists, you can also useedit command to edit the contents of theAPKBUILD.
Demo
To fetch existing packages fromaports and edit them:
alpkg fetch<package_name>
Demo
To commit the changes to theaports repository:
alpkg update<package_name>
