Abuild and Helpers
The abuild package provides scripts you need when creating packages for Alpine Linux. The abuild and its friends are installed automatically along with the alpine-sdk package.
apk add alpine-sdk
The git repository contains always the lastest version of the scripts, example-files, and makefiles.
Package build helpers
abuild-keygen
For abuild a public/private rsa key pair is needed. abuild-keygen does the generation of those keys for you.
abuild-keygen -a -i
abuild-keygen options
- -a Set PACKAGER_PRIVKEY=<generated key> in abuild.conf
- -i Install public key into /etc/apk/keys using sudo
- -h Show this help
- -n Non-interactive. Use defaults
- -q Quiet mode
Creating keys manually
In older versions of Alpine, we had to manually create keys for signing packages and indexes. This explains how. Nowadays you can just use abuild-keygen.
Since the public key needs to be unique for each developer, the email address should be used as name for the public key.
Create the private key:
openssl genrsa -out emailaddress.priv 2048
Create the public key:
openssl rsa -in emailaddress.priv -pubout -out /etc/apk/keys/emailaddress
The public key should be distributed and installed into /etc/apk/keys on the alpine box that will install the packages. The private key, when created by abuild, is installed into ~/.abuild/$something.rsa. This basically means that the main developer's public keys should be in /etc/apk/keys on all Alpine boxes.
abuild-sign
abuild-sign is for signing indexes.
abuild-sign [-hq] [-k PRIVKEY] [-p PUBKEY] INDEXFILE...
abuild-sign options
- -h Show this help
- -k The private key to use for signing
- -p The name of public key. apk add will look for /etc/apk/keys/PUBKEY
abuild-tar
apkbuild-tar [--hash[=<algorithm>]] [--cut]
apkbuild-tar options
- --hash[=sha1|md5] Read tar archive from stdin, precalculate hash for regular entries and output tar archive on stdout
- --cut Remove the end of file tar record
