Build a simple package
In this example, we will demonstrate how to build a package for the sbs(simple background setter) tool.
Begin by preparing the necessary files for building sbs.
mkdir sbs_build_template
cd sbs_build_template
mkdir stage0
touch stage0/init
touch stage0/build
touch stage0/install_files
touch template
Copy the following content into stage0/init
curl -L https://github.com/onur-ozkan/sbs/archive/refs/tags/v1.0.0.tar.gz > sbs.tar.gz
validate_checksum "sbs.tar.gz" "aa4da5b2315046fc2059599b19c530f08bb870e63ed17111a55991b1ae911367"
tar -xvzf sbs.tar.gz --strip 1 -C $SRC
Copy the following content into stage0/build
make sbs
Copy the following content into stage0/install_files
install_to_package sbs /usr/bin/sbs
Copy the following content into template
{
"name": "sbs",
"description": "Simple background setter",
"maintainer": "Lpm Core Maintainer <contact@onurozkan.dev>",
"source_repository": "https://github.com/onur-ozkan/sbs",
"homepage": "https://github.com/onur-ozkan/sbs",
"arch": "amd64",
"kind": "util",
"file_checksum_algo": "sha256",
"tags": [
"x11",
"background-setter"
],
"version": {
"readable_format": "1.0.0",
"major": 1,
"minor": 0,
"patch": 0
},
"license": "MIT"
}
Now, you can run the following command to generate the sbs.lod
package along with its repository index (a patch for the LPM repository database):
lpm --module builder --build .
Refer to the package-builds to examine more package templates created for the linux-amd64-default
repository.
