This project is WIP!

The goal of this project is to build Arch packages. It creates a docker image with a clean arch chroot where packages can be built.

Running install: https://build.velox.pw

This image creates a build user and utilizes devtools to build packages in a clean chroot. The image works as a wrapper for any Arch tools we need to use to build packages.

Currently there is a simple .SRCINFO parser and dependency resolver inside buildbot. It probably works, but it havent been tested on complicated build chains. It should be enough to build simple packages and dependencies.

Currently there are some hardcoded defaults inside the buildbot master.cfg. The plan is to refactor this out into a config file. It can build the docker images on its own, and relies on local workers currently. Remote workers will be solved one day.

# Creates docker image arch-build
$ cd docker
$ ./build-docker.sh

If you need to created packages that utilize PGP signatures, a keyring can be made under the docker directory:

$ mkdir docker/gnupg && cd docker/gnupg
$ gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring ./pubring.gpg --recv [[KEYID]]

Rerun the build step for this to take effect

bin/build-package is assumed to be installed into path by buildbot.

Example building a package:

$ git clone https://github.com/Foxboron/PKGBUILDS
$ cd PKGBUILDS
# build-package [[repository]] [[package]]
$ build-package foxboron python2-humanize

Docker needs access to cgroup to use systemd-nspawn, mkarchroot/arch-nspawn from devtools relies on this. This means docker will need to run with the --privileged flag and mount with -v /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd/docker:/sys/fs/cgroup/systemd/docker. There is also an assumption that the repositories on the host is located inn /srv/repos.

This will be solved with remote-sign.
