[SOLVED] makepkg, skip everything and archive directly

Halano · 2024-12-11 16:55:22

I've already DESTDIR=../pkg make install
PKGBUILD metadata are complete

How to :

Directly archive pkg dir without building ?

There is the "-R, --repackage" option to makepkg, if I understood you right this does what you want to do (repackage without rebuilding)

$ makepkg -R just now It remove pkg dir and generate empty package with metadata only

Holys

==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> Removing existing $pkgdir/ directory...
==> Entering fakeroot environment...
==> Tidying install...

==> Removing existing $pkgdir/ directory...

how to prevent that ?

I don't think you can. What you're doing is well outside the scope of a PKGBUILD, and of a packaging system in general.

See https://xyproblem.info/ . What you're wanting to do here makes little sense.

No

You wrong, wdym scope of a PKGBUILD
wdym packaging system in general

I can simply through them rootly but that make pacman conflicting if the package got new version

makepkg is half coocked couldn't provide the simplest method I wanted.

Why can't you put the "DESTDIR=../pkg make install" in the package() function? Why do you need to do it manually?

I've added make install into package function and makepkg bundle it right.

Fwwi, https://www.deepl.com/ speaks arabic and english - it might help with future threads.

No, your question does not explain itself. You're trying to do a lot of things outside of the PKGBUILD that you should not be doing, and we were asking why. Now it appears you were doing them because you don't know what a PKGBUILD does. Look at some example PKGBUILDs.

I don't cares I just put the build commands inside package() function and it works.

I don't cares people just understood it
sorry I'm not native english speaker, but thanks for the link I might use it.

Nobody understood anything about the nonsense in your OP - WorMzy just went straight to the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem and his comment is unrelated to your question and translates to "Do you actually understand how makepkg works?" to which the answer is "no" because you failed to read or comprehend the basic documentation.

You don't have to be sorry for not being a native english speaker - most people on the board probably aren't - but this works much better if you can express yourself and comprehend what is said on the board and the wiki - deepl.com can help with that a lot.
