After doing a good bunch of LFS PKGBUILDS manually, I decided it was time to automate the process a tiny bit. It's not perfect, but it is "good enough"; for my purposes at least with this python script. Critiques are of course are welcome.

import os, sys
dl_file = sys.argv[1]

# get the filename from the url download
i = dl_file.rfind("/")
temp = dl_file[i+1:]
# get the package name and version, discard the extension
fname = temp.split(".tar.")
# split the package name from the package version
i = fname[0].rfind("-")
pkgname = fname[0][:i]
pkgver = fname[0][i+1:]
# generate a new generic url download from the above variables
url = dl_file.replace(pkgname,"$pkgname").replace(pkgver,"$pkgver")

# create the PKGBUILD with the data generated above

os.makedirs(pkgname)
pkg_file = open(pkgname + '/PKGBUILD','w')
pkg_data = "# Maintainer: something@somewhere.com\n\n"
pkg_data += "pkgname=" + pkgname + "\n"

pkg_data += "pkgdesc='Description goes here'" + "\n"

pkg_data += "license=('GPL2')" + "\n"
pkg_data += 'source=("'+ url +'")' + "\n"
pkg_data += "sha512sums=('')" + "\n\n"
pkg_data += 'build(){\n\tcd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"\n}' + "\n"
pkg_data += 'package(){\n\tcd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"\n\tmake DESTDIR=$pkgdir install\n}'
pkg_file.write(pkg_data)
pkg_file.close()

This is brilliant! How have I lived without this? Since I found the documentation is a little opaque, here's what I did and plan to do.
BACKGROUND
Single user system, with all AUR packages held in their respective build directories and installed via "pacman -U".
STEPS
1. Create new "/home/<user>/packages" directory
2. Move all current AUR packages into "/home/<user>/packages" directory
3. Edit "/etc/makepkg.conf" to add the line
PKGDEST=/home/<user>/packages
4. Add the following new lines to "/home/<user>/.bashrc":
alias aurupdate="repo-add -n -R /home/chris/packages/AUR.db.tar.xz /home/chris/packages/*.pkg.tar.xz"
alias aurinstall="sudo pacman -Syu $(pacman -Sl AUR | grep -v installed | cut -d ' ' -f 2)"
5. source .bashrc and run aurupdate
6. Going forward, after building new AUR packages run aurinstall
Does this make sense? Do you have any suggestions on better ways to do this?

I do something similar...

I have PKGDEST set to /var/cache/pacman/custom in makepkg.conf and added it as a CacheDir in my pacman.conf
I also use the following script to update my custom repo, which allows me to specify the packages to update in repo-add (if specified, it is faster than trying everything), allows me to easily remove something if necessary, and excludes kernel updates (because I don't want to automatically replace my running kernel + modules, see FS#16702):

#!/bin/bash

shopt -s extglob

cd /var/cache/pacman/custom/

act="add"
force="-n"

while [[ "${1}" != "" ]]; do
    case "${1}" in
        -r|--remove)
            act="remove"
            ;;
        -f|--force)
            force=""
            ;;
        -k|--kernel)
            upgrade_kernels=1
            ;;
        *)
            break
            ;;
    esac
    shift
done

if [[ "${1}" != "" ]]; then
    while [[ "${1}" != "" ]]; do
        if [[ "${act}" = "remove" ]]; then
            packages+=("${1}")
        else
            packages+=("${1}-+([a-z0-9.:_+])-[0-9]-@(any|i686|x86_64).pkg.tar.xz")
        fi
        shift
    done
else
    packages=(*.pkg.tar.xz)
fi

for pkg in "${packages[@]}"; do
    if [[ "${pkg}" =~ ^linux-?.* ]]; then
        kernel_pkgs+=("${pkg}")
    else
        regular_pkgs+=("${pkg}")
    fi
done

if [[ "${upgrade_kernels}" != "" ]]; then
    repo-${act} ${force} custom.db.tar.gz ${kernel_pkgs[@]}
else
    repo-${act} -R ${force} custom.db.tar.gz ${regular_pkgs[@]}
fi

My pacman.conf lists the custom repo and includes /etc/pacman.d/nocustom.conf with the main part of my pacman configuration. I have yaourt set to use that instead -- so yaourt will still treat custom packages as foreign packages and get them from the AUR.

Build functions are not mandatory...

So this basically just takes a download url and tries to extract a pkgname-pkgver from it, then assumes the software can be built with make install? Should work okay, except that $pkgdir needs to be quoted just like srcdir... also, you might as well tell sha512sums to SKIP itself since fr auto-generated self-used PKGBUILDs integrity checks aren't really useful (and they certainly aren't supplying security).

I am not using these PKGBUILDS in this form; most of them need to have additional things added to the build and package functions. It's just to save me time rewriting things from scratch all the time or copying another PKGBUILD. After creating this I found you can create templates for makepkg which might make this redundant, but I'll need to take a look at it to see how it works first. Also, thanks for the note about the pkgdir variable. I'll will update it.

eschwartz · 2016-10-09 04:19:47

Same difference.

Anyway, makepkg-template is really meant for PKGBUILDs that contain verbatim code which sometimes needs to be updated... in multiple PKGBUILDs.
It is like using m4_include() for your PKGBUILD.in and of course you need to manually add the template call then run makepkg-template which I don't think is what you had in mind.

Also, I would use a formatted text block for the PKGBUILD as it is a lot more readable, e.g.:

#!/usr/bin/python

pkgname='somepackage'
pkgver='1.2.3'
url='http://example.com/somepackage-1.2.3.tar.gz'

PKGBUILD='''
# Maintainer: something@somewhere.com

pkgname={PKGNAME}
pkgver={PKGVER}
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc='Description goes here'
arch=('x86_64')
license=('GPL2')
source=("{URL}")
sha512sums=('SKIP')

build(){{
	cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"
}}
package(){{
	cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"
	make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install
}}
'''.strip()

print(PKGBUILD.format(PKGNAME=pkgname, PKGVER=pkgver, URL=url))

Note that actual brackets in the resulting formatted text must be doubled.
The opening and closing triple-quotes are on their own lines, the resulting leading/trailing newlines get stripped though so it's all good.

That is very handy. I've been using python for ages and never knew about that. Cheers

After setting up encryption on my system, I was planning on using chkboot (see AUR), but I figured if I want my system to be secure I should understand how it works. To that end I tried writing my own equivalent (which I will probably end up using).
I call it "tamper". Here it is in case anyone fancies a look, or better still wants to give feedback:

#!/bin/bash

TAMPER_DIR="/var/lib/tamper/"
BOOT_LOG="$TAMPER_DIR/boot"
MBR_LOG="$TAMPER_DIR/mbr"

MBR_DEVICE="/dev/vda"

function get_mbr(){
        dd if=$MBR_DEVICE of=/tmp/mbr.bak bs=512 count=1
}

function get_boot(){
        tar -c /boot --exclude /boot/grub/grubenv -f /tmp/boot.bak
}

function check_mbr(){
        if [ -e $MBR_LOG ]; then
                get_mbr &&
                sha512sum -c <(tail -n1 $MBR_LOG)
        else
                echo "'$MBR_LOG' does not exist" >&2
                return 1
        fi
}

function check_boot(){
        if [ -e $BOOT_LOG ]; then
                get_boot &&
                sha512sum -c <(tail -n1 $BOOT_LOG)
        else
                echo "'$BOOT_LOG' does not exist" >&2
                return 1
        fi
}

function check() {
        check_mbr && 
        rm /tmp/mbr.bak || echo "MBR did not validate!" >&2
        check_boot &&
        rm /tmp/boot.bak || echo "/boot did not validate!" >&2
}

function update(){
        mkdir -p $TAMPER_DIR &&
        if ! check_mbr; then
                if ! [ -e /tmp/mbr.bak ]; then
                        get_mbr
                fi
                sha512sum /tmp/mbr.bak >> $MBR_LOG
                mv /tmp/mbr.bak $TAMPER_DIR
                echo "Updated mbr"
        else
                echo "MBR already up to date"
                rm /tmp/mbr.bak
        fi

        if ! check_boot; then
                if ! [ -e /tmp/boot.bak ]; then
                        get_boot
                fi
                sha512sum /tmp/boot.bak >> $BOOT_LOG
                mv /tmp/boot.bak $TAMPER_DIR
                echo "Updated boot"
        else
                echo "/boot already up to date"
                rm /tmp/boot.bak
        fi
}

case $1 in
        "--help" ) ;&
        "-h" )
                echo "Options: --update (-u): update the tamper database"
                ;;
        "--update" ) ;&
        "-u" )
                update &&
                echo "Updated"
                ;;
        "--check" ) ;&
        "-c" )
                check
                ;;
esac

exit $?

blippy · 2016-11-06 16:04:15

I have a script which I call "parf":

#!/usr/bin/env bash

RC=$HOME/.parfrc

function print_help {
cat <<EOF
Prints out the content of the RC file ($RC), with newlines replaced by colons
-c add current directory to RC file
-e edit RC file using default editor
-h this help
-s SEP specifiy separator
EOF
}

SEP=':'

while getopts "cehs:" opt
do
    case $opt in
        c) echo `pwd` >> $RC ;;
        e) $EDITOR $RC ;;
        h) print_help ;;
        s) SEP=$OPTARG ;;
        *) echo "Unrecognised argument: $opt" ; exit 1 ;;
    esac
done


# construct a complete path
function prpath {
    if [ -f $RC ]; then
        local res=
        while read line
        do
            #echo inpu $line
            if [ -d "$line" ]; then
                res="$line$SEP$res"
                #echo $line
                #echo res so far "$res"
            fi
        done < <(tac $RC)
        echo "$res"
    fi
}

prpath

It is a PATH editor. PATHs are stored in ~/.parfc, one per line. If you want to add the current dir to the PATH, type parf -c. If you want to see the path that is created, type parf. If you want to edit your path configuration file, type parf -e. Don't need the path any more? Just parf -e and delete the offending line. You will need to set the EDITOR variable in order to edit the path.

Add parf somewhere bash can see it, and in your .bashrc add the line
PATH=`parf`$PATH

You also need to start a new bash shell for the changes to take effect.

It saves me a lot of hassle.

blippy · 2016-11-06 16:14:59

Something I'm getting into is bosh (browseable output shell), available in AUR.

The idea behind it is that you provide a configuration file specifiying a command to run, and action keys. bosh runs the command. You can select an output line, press an action key, and bosh runs the action for that key, on that line.

The world's your lobster as to what you can get it to do. A canned script is called bops, which prints the running processes. Select the process you want to kill, and type 'k'. Nifty.

I am using it at the moment to list files in a certain directory. I can highlight the file I am interested in, and select "v" to view the file contents.

Limitless possibilities.

Trilby · 2016-11-06 18:02:08

bosh sounds interesting, but the PKGBUILD for it is ridiculous. There are countless things wrong, but the troubling issues are the use of "unknown" license when it is very clearly GPL2 and the failure to properly use the configure script to install in /usr. I'll post a proper PKGBUILD in the comments for that package momentarily.

wttr.in uses ip address to identify location, if that fail you may try

 curl wttr.in/"yourlocation"

Another workaround for an unfixed plasma bug.
Since sometimes it does not update panels when compositing is switched off, it happens that i when i play games, i'm often in late, because i see the un-updated clock on the other head (i play with no compositing).
Fortunately, the Xrender Backend does not impact performance and nvidia ForceCompositingPipeline is able to do vsync even when using Xrender, so here is a script i bound to alt+shift+F10 that switches compositor type and notify it via OSD:

#!/bin/bash
killall aosd_cat
Current_compositing=$(qdbus org.kde.KWin /Compositor compositingType)

function reconfigure {
    qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure
    sleep 0.2
    qdbus org.kde.KWin /Compositor suspend
    sleep 0.2
    qdbus org.kde.KWin /Compositor resume   
}

function OSD {
    echo "$1" | aosd_cat -n "Sans Bold 15"   -x 0 -y 0 -p 0 -t 0 -b 255 -s 255 -d 10 -R "#99ccff"  -u 5000 &

}

if [ $Current_compositing = "gl2" ] ; then
    echo Current:gl2
    echo Switch :xrender
    kwriteconfig5 --file kwinrc --group Compositing --key Backend XRender
    OSD "Compositor: OpenGL -> xrender"
    reconfigure
    exit
fi

if [ $Current_compositing = "xrender" ] ; then
    echo Current:xrender
    echo Switch :none
    OSD "Compositor: xrender -> Disabled"
    qdbus org.kde.KWin /Compositor suspend
    exit
fi

I thought I'd already posted this, but I can't find it. Particularly handy for DEs such as XFCE. Possibly the most simplistic music player GUI ever. One button, "Stop". Double click (at least in xfce) starts it. The button lands under your mouse pointer. If you let it play through, it goes away quietly. Needs mpg123 to be installed.

And the script to launch it. You need to correct the paths.

#!/bin/bash

IFS="
"
chkname=(`echo ${1%.*}`)
chkname=$chkname.cdg
if [ -f $chkname ]; then
	vlc $1
else
	python2./PATH/TO/mp123.py -t "$1"
fi

I made quite a few, most interestingly probably:

* aur-auto-vote (Automates voting and unvoting for installed AUR packages.)
* backup-system (This is backup solution that works for me: I am aware it is not perfect.)
* defaults (Inspect the original version of files belonging to installed packages.)
* hotstrings (AutoKey-like functionality in a very lightweight manner.)

and maybe also:
* provides (List executables installed into a PATH directory by a given package.)
* youtuber (Small utility that helps keeping a YouTube video collection up-to-date.)
* ShareY (Small command-line utility to easily take screenshots, upload them to a hoster and copy the URL to the clipboard.)

Click the links for a more in-depth explanation for each entry.

I wrote a dumb-mp3-streamer for myself because I didn't want to set up an icecast server (too much work for what I needed )

You can do something like this with sox rec -t mp3 - | dumb-mp3-streamer and change recorder in pavucontrol to "Monitor". And boom you are streaming whatever is playin on your system.
