Abuild and Helpers

From Alpine Linux
Revision as of 16:27, 10 May 2012 by Fab (talk | contribs)

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. For details about abuild itself, please check this page.

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

Tip: Append -aes256 if you want it encrypted, but then you'll need to enter the password for every package you sign

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

abump

The tool abump is a utility to bump pkgver in APKBUILD files if the package gets an update to a newer upstream release. abump will update the package's pkgver, rebuild it and create a new commit with the resulting changes.

abump [-hR]

abump options

  • -h Show this help
  • -R Run abuild with -R for recursive building
  • -k Keep existing packages
