newapkbuild - generate a new APKBUILD
newapkbuild options...
[pkgname[-pkgver] | source_url]
newapkbuild generates a new APKBUILD for use with
abuild(1). pkgname specifies the package name, if not already
specified with -n. If followed by a dash (-) and a valid version
string pkgver, additionally specify the package's version.
newapkbuild will try to automatically detect the build
system by inspecting the source directory if source_url is specified,
and write out typical build instructions for that build system. If you do
not specify the source URL, or want to override auto-detection, you may
specify the build system with the appropriate option. If no
source_url and no option are specified, the generated APKBUILD file
will not contain any build instructions.
-a
Specifies that the package uses autotools.
-C
Specifies that the package uses CMake. CMake will be
added to the makedepends.
-c
Causes newapkbuild to additionally copy an init.d
script, conf.d file, and sample pre- and post- install scripts to the APKBUILD
directory. This allows you to have a quick start for daemon packages. See the
FILES section for details.
-d DESC
Specifies the description (pkgdesc=) for the new
package.
-e
Specifies that the package uses a Python PEP517 build
system. Python's gpep517, setuptools and wheel will be added to the
makedepends.
-f
Forces newapkbuild to overwrite an existing
APKBUILD, if one already exists in the package directory.
-h
Displays usage information.
-l LICENSE
Specifies the license under which the new package is
distributed. This should match an SPDX Identifier.
-m
Specifies that the package uses Meson. Meson will be
added to the makedepends.
-n NAME
Specifies the name of the new package. A new directory
called NAME will be created in the current directory, with the APKBUILD
file.
-p
Specifies that the package uses a Perl Makefile.PL file.
The CPAN template will be used and Perl will be added to the depends.
-r
Specifies that the package uses Cargo. Cargo will be
added to the makedepends.
-s
Create an automatic SourceForge URL for the package based
on its name and version. This is only valid if pkgname-pkgver is
specified on the command line.
-u URL
Specifies the Web page (url=) for the new package. This
should not be the source package URL; it should be the project's main
Web page.
-y
Specifies that the package uses a Python setup.py build
system. Python's setuptools will be added to the makedepends and Python to the
depends.
All files generated will be places in a pkgname directory
inside the current working directory, with pkgname being created if
it does not exist.
APKBUILD
newapkbuild will create an APKBUILD with the
details gathered from the invocation of newapkbuild, and introspection
of the downloaded package source if source_url is provided. For more
information about APKBUILD and its format, see APKBUILD(5).
pkgname.initd
If -c is given, newapkbuild will create
pkgname.initd with example data to assist in the creation of an init.d
script for a daemon.
pkgname.confd
If -c is given, newapkbuild will create
pkgname.confd to assist in the creation of a conf.d file for a daemon,
used by init.d scripts. conf.d files are used to configure init.d scripts; for
more information, see openrc(8) and rc_config(3).
pkgname.pre-install
If -c is given, newapkbuild will create
pkgname.pre-install, the contents of which will be run by apk(8) before
the package is installed.
pkgname.post-install
If -c is given, newapkbuild will create
pkgname.post-install, the contents of which will be run by apk(8) after
the package is successfully installed. For more information about apk install
hooks, consult the apk(8) manual.
