Codeberg is the main repo for poppyports. Any issues or pull requests should be submitted there instead of the mirrors (Github, etc)
This is the ports repository for Poppycrow Linux.
Ports is a repository of a packages you (or a CI server) build, with optional configuration changes and patches applied beforehand. This system is directly inspired from the ports system found on FreeBSD and OpenBSD, but inspiration for our incarnation of the system was largely taken from Chimera Linux's cports.
While the port system is unfinished, the spec right now is good enough to migitate breaking changes when they appear. Read CONTRIBUTING.md, and also the docs in the etc/docs folder to know the recipe spec. Once you get your recipe to build, feel free to open a PR. If things really do work, and especially if the package is in the high priority issues list, it's probably going to be accepted.
The system, as it is right now, boots. And that's about it. We lack networking, graphics, the init system doesn't really work, so any package that helps with that is very welcome. If you don't want to package anything from issues, you can run the 'whattopackage.py' script, which looks for any unpackaged dependencies of things that are already packaged.
Our build system, pbuild, sources packages directly from their upstream, verifies their SHA signature, and then builds them into an APK package. Optionally, the user may also supply patches that are then applied onto the extracted sources before they are compiled. Some packages, such as extra/figlet, come with their own Poppycrow provided patches that provide distro-specific features and support.
usage: pbuild [-h] [-ignoreintegrity [IGNOREINTEGRITY]] [-fresh [FRESH]] [-rebuild [REBUILD]] [-color [COLOR]] [-supressnonerrorlogs [SUPRESSNONERRORLOGS]] [-config [CONFIG]] pkgpath [builddir]
Compiles apk files to be used in Poppycrow Linux repos.
positional arguments:
pkgpath Path of the folder that contains the build recipe.
builddir The directory to build the recipe in.
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-ignoreintegrity, -ii, -ignore-broken-files [true/false]
Ignore any checksum errors and continue building the package.
-fresh, -new, -redownload [true/false]
Redownload files even if they are already present and pass the integrity checks.
-rebuild [true/false] Force rebuild even when package is already built.
-color [true/false] Highlight warnings, errors and build completion.
-supressnonerrorlogs, -clean-logs [true/false]
Supress logs that aren't warnings, errors, or completion messages
-config [PATH] The config to use.
- Add makedeps check and makedeps in general
- Make a more elaborate compiling system
- Sandbox the compiling process maybe??
- Manage a temporary apk repo
- Make the system be able to work with Github Actions and also forward things to our own server so we can actually host things.
We provide our own build script for a patched kernel with a rootfs image:
python3 scripts/makeisoworse.py
(Please note, in this early development stage, this script does not build a bootable ISO. You must boot it with qemu-system manually.)
