# build file reference
|
||||
|
||||
Feel free to take a peek at the `aptpkg-pkgs` repository.
|
||||
|
||||
The `build` file is a shell(?) file loaded in by `aptpkg` and should be located
|
||||
in its own folder which is named the program.
|
||||
|
||||
The first line should be a comment: `# Maintainer: Name or User Name <email@example.org>`
|
||||
|
||||
There are currently two types of things aptpkg can process:
|
||||
|
||||
1. `type=deb`: Debian packages which are simply downloaded from the URL and
|
||||
checked
|
||||
2. `type=file`: Get (a) file(s), check, and execute the `steps` function
|
||||
|
||||
This should be defined after `name`, `version`, and `rev` - which is only useful
|
||||
when `type=file` and should be set to zero after each version update.
|
||||
|
||||
`url` should contain the upstream application's source code/ homepage, and
|
||||
`description` should be similar to what has been provided by them.
|
||||
|
||||
`source` contains the URL to download and `sha512sums` contains the output to be verified after.
|
||||
|
||||
In the `steps` function (for `type=file`), you can use the following variables and functions:
|
||||
|
||||
- `$builddir`
|
||||
- `cin-bin` to `install` a binary
|
||||
- `cin-file` to `install` a file
|
||||
|
||||
You can also place maintenance files along `build`: `preinst`, `postinst`, `prerm`, and `postrm`.
