Script to rebuild all installed packages from ABS

I realize pacbuilder is for that, but it doesn't seem to work properly for me. Skipping a lot of packages etc.

Anyway, I've made this very simple script to just rebuild every installed package from core/extra/community. Sorry for the localized echo output, but I think it's all very simple and straightforward to understand.

Edit:
I've improved it a bit, now it should work flawlessly and remember what stuff it has to finish no matter when you ^C out of it. Also it installs all compiled packages, if you want to avoid that, remove -i switch from makepkg.

#!/bin/sh

# user configuration
absdir="/home/mateusz/abs/autobuild"
pkgdir="/home/mateusz/abs/packages"
pkgfile="/home/mateusz/abs/autobuild.list"
# end of user configuration

topabs="/var/abs"

if [ ! -d $absdir ]; then
        mkdir -pv $absdir
fi

if [ ! -d $pkgdir ]; then
        mkdir -pv $pkgdir
fi

echo "(autobuild) Uaktualnianie bazy abs..."
sudo abs

if [ ! -f $pkgfile ]; then
        echo "(autobuild) Tworzę listę pakietów do zbudowania..."
        pacman -Qq > $pkgfile
else
        echo "(autobuild) Znaleziono poprzedni build."
        echo "(autobuild) Jeżeli nie chcesz go wykorzystać, skasuj $pkgfile"
fi

for pkgname in $(cat $pkgfile); do
        echo "(autobuild) Szukanie pakietu $pkgname..."
        find $topabs -type d -name "$pkgname" -exec cp -R {} $absdir \; 2> /dev/null
        if [ -d "$absdir/$pkgname" ]; then
                echo "(autobuild) Budowanie pakietu $pkgname..."
                cd "$absdir/$pkgname"
                makepkg -csir --noconfirm > /dev/null
                if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
                        echo "(autobuild) Pakiet zbudowany."
                        cat $pkgfile | grep -vx $pkgname > "$pkgfile.tmp"
                        mv $pkgfile.tmp $pkgfile
                else
                        echo "(autobuild) Błąd budowania pakietu!"
                fi
        else
                echo "(autobuild) Pakiet nieodnaleziony!"
                cat $pkgfile | grep -vx $pkgname > "$pkgfile.tmp"
                mv $pkgfile.tmp $pkgfile
        fi
done

echo "(autobuild) Linkowanie pakietów do $pkgdir..."
find $absdir -name "*`uname -m`.pkg.tar.gz" -exec ln -v {} $pkgdir \; >/dev/null

echo "(autobuild) Zakończono."
exit 0

Re: Script to rebuild all installed packages from ABS

Here is the script translated into English (with a bit of help from Google Translate, as well as grammar cleanup).

#!/bin/sh

# user configuration
absdir="/home/aabbott/abs/autobuild"
pkgdir="/home/aabbott/abs/packages"
pkgfile="/home/aabbott/abs/autobuild.list"
# end of user configuration

topabs="/var/abs"

if [ ! -d $absdir ]; then
        mkdir -pv $absdir
fi

if [ ! -d $pkgdir ]; then
        mkdir -pv $pkgdir
fi

echo "(autobuild) Updating the ABS database..."
sudo abs

if [ ! -f $pkgfile ]; then
        echo "(autobuild) Creating a list of packages to build..."
        pacman -Qq > $pkgfile
else
        echo "(autobuild) Found a previous build."
        echo "(autobuild) If you don't want to use this build, delete ${pkgfile}."
fi

for pkgname in $(cat $pkgfile); do
        echo "(autobuild) Searching for $pkgname..."
        find $topabs -type d -name "$pkgname" -exec cp -R {} $absdir \; 2> /dev/null
        if [ -d "$absdir/$pkgname" ]; then
                echo "(autobuild) Building $pkgname..."
                cd "$absdir/$pkgname"
                makepkg -csir --noconfirm > /dev/null
                if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
                        echo "(autobuild) $pkgname built."
                        cat $pkgfile | grep -vx $pkgname > "$pkgfile.tmp"
                        mv $pkgfile.tmp $pkgfile
                else
                        echo "(autobuild) There was an error when building ${pkgname}!"
                fi
        else
                echo "(autobuild) $pkgname not found!"
                cat $pkgfile | grep -vx $pkgname > "$pkgfile.tmp"
                mv $pkgfile.tmp $pkgfile
        fi
done

echo "(autobuild) Linking to $pkgdir..."
find $absdir -name "*`uname -m`.pkg.tar.gz" -exec ln -v {} $pkgdir \; >/dev/null

echo "(autobuild) Finished."
exit 0

Re: Script to rebuild all installed packages from ABS

This worked fine for me on a fresh 64 bit install with gnome DE. After changing the 3 directories in front to suit my needs and setting up sudo for no password on pacman I kicked the script off and let her run overnight. In the morning all went well and  I can feel the difference that a custom compiled install can make. Smooth and snappy.

Thanks for this handy tool. Now to figure out an effortless way to keep this box updated with ABS......

Re: Script to rebuild all installed packages from ABS

Nice script, works well

What I did is I ran this script once to recompile all packages.

And now I use yaourt -Sybu --devel --aur --noconfirm to install new packages.

No need for pacbuilder

and ofc cflags:

CFLAGS="-march=x86-64 -mtune=native -Os -msse3 -floop-interchange -floop-strip-mine -floop-block -pipe"

and makes more difference on "crappy" server:

CFLAGS="-march=native -Os -floop-interchange -floop-strip-mine -floop-block -pipe"
