Talk:Abuild and Helpers
I think this document should be deleted. It does not provide any useful information at all.
- You don't need check out abuild from git to be able to build packages. (using an official release of abuild is higly recommended)
- abuild.mk have been replaced with alpine-iso.git long time ago.
- the term 'build environment' made sense when we built alpine from gentoo. Now the 'build environment' is a normal alpine install + apk add alpine-sdk.
- The doc mention nothing about how to use abuild to build packages, not even it mention that you need to do 'make && sudo make install'
In short this doc provides no relevant info. I vote for removing it and instead write an how to use abuild doc or similar. --Ncopa 14:45, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
Updated
This page was completely reworked in December 2011. I think that now this page is in better shape and contains current information. --Fab 16:26, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
When include page like Include:Newapkbuild are made into redirect page, the pages where such pages were transcluded originally will pull the content from the redirected page. For example instead of just displaying Include:Newapkbuild section, the entire Abuild and Helpers pages gets transcluded in Creating an Alpine package. This happened earlier and again today. Please be careful while editing transcluded pages. Prabuanand (talk) 17:04, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure to double check for inclusions next time. WhyNotHugo (talk) 17:19, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
