newapkbuild(1) General Commands Manual newapkbuild(1)
NAME
newapkbuild - generate a new APKBUILD
SYNOPSIS
newapkbuild options... [pkgname[-pkgver] | source_url]
DESCRIPTION
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.
OPTIONS
-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.
FILES
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.
