arch package building...

[petersilva]

as a PoC, I built a package for arch linux, it requires creating a PKGBUILD file. Example for one version:

# Maintainer:  Peter Silva [email protected]

pkgname=metpx-sr3
pkgver=3.00.55rc2
# the tag used to create the release on github.
pkgtag=v${pkgver}
pkgrel=1
arch=(any)

source=(https://github.com/MetPX/sarracenia/archive/refs/tags/${pkgtag}.tar.gz)
# checksum of source file above.
sha256sums=('d893da70992f0d5e4e3f7ff64780c9216b24d7f92dca2607cb77d459795785b4')

#_name=${pkgname#python-}
_name=sarracenia
	
makedepends=(python-build python-installer python-wheel python-hatch)

build() {
    cd $_name-$pkgver
    python -m build --wheel --no-isolation
}

package() {
    cd $_name-$pkgver
    python -m installer --destdir="$pkgdir" dist/*.whl
}

• It should be possible to generate for each release using a script.

• need to download the source artifact from github for each to generate the sha256 (with makepkg -g on arch.)

• on ubuntu:

    fractal% shasum -a 256 v3.00.55rc2.tar.gz
    d893da70992f0d5e4e3f7ff64780c9216b24d7f92dca2607cb77d459795785b4  
    v3.00.55rc2.tar.gz
    fractal% 
  
  

• can just use elementary substitutions to build the rest.
