PKGBUILDs
Contains PKGBUILD files for creating Arch Linux packages:
- Packages for my own applications and libraries such as Syncthing Tray, Tag Editor, Password Manager, ...
- Packages I maintain in the AUR:
- misc packages, eg. Gogs/Gitea, Subtitle Composer, openelec-dvb-firmware
- mingw-w64 packages which allow to build for Windows under Arch Linux, eg. freetype2 and Qt 5
- apple-darwin packages which allow to build for MaxOS X under Arch Linux, eg. osxcross and Qt 5
- Other packages imported from the AUR to build with slight modifications
So if you like to improve one of my AUR packages, just create a PR here.
Structure
Each package is in its own subdirectoy:
default-pkg-name/variant
where default-pkg-name
is the default package name (eg. qt5-base
) and variant
usually one of:
default
: the regular packagegit
/svn
/hg
: the development versionmingw-w64
: the Windows versionapple-darwin
: the MacOS X version
The repository does not contain .SRCINFO
files.
Contributing to patches
Patches for most packages are managed in a fork of the project under my GitHub profile. For instance,
patches for mingw-w64-qt5-base
are managed at github.com/Martchus/qtbase.
I usually create a dedicated branch for each version, eg. 5.10.1-mingw-w64
. It contains all the patches based on
Qt 5.10.1. When doing fixes later on, I usually preserve the original patches and create a new branch, eg.
5.10.1-mingw-w64-fixes
.
So in this case it would make sense to contribute directly there. To fix an existing patch, just create a fixup commit. This (unusual) fixup workflow aims to keep the number of additional changes as small as possbile.
To get the patches into the PKGBUILD files, the script devel/qt5/update-patches.sh
is used.
Mass rebasing of Qt patches
This is always done by me. Please don't try to help here because it will only cause conflicts. However, the workflow is quite simple:
- Run
devel/qt5/rebase-patches.sh
on all Qt repository forks or justdevel/qt5/rebase-all-patches.sh
- eg.
rebase-patches.sh 5.11.0 5.10.1 fixes
to create branch5.11.0-mingw-w64
based on5.10.1-mingw-w64-fixes
- after fixing possible conflicts, run
devel/qt5/continue-rebase-patches.sh
- otherwise, that's it
- eg.
- Run
devel/qt5/update-patches.sh
ordevel/qt5/update-all-patches.sh
to update PKGBUILDs
Supported build and deployment tools for mingw-w64-qt5 packages
Currently, I test with qmake and CMake. With both build systems it is possible to use either the shared or the static libraries. Please read the comments in the PKGBUILD file itself and the pinned comments in the AUR for futher information.
There are also pkgconfig files, but those aren't really tested.
qbs and windeployqt currently don't work very well (see issues). Using mxedeployqt might be an alternative for windeployqt.
Binary repository
I also provide a binary repository containing the packages found in this repository and a lot of packages found in the AUR.
