Bulid multiple packages at once (in order) w/ makepkg

StanIsTheMan · 2009-10-06 06:28:37

I have several folders copied over into my build dir. Now instead of going into each folder and building each package separately, I'd like to automate this in one command...

I can do this... but it seems like it could be done differently. Just an example:

bld="~/home/builds"
cd $bld

  cd gcc && makepkg -s && cd ../firefox && makepkg -s && cd ../conky && makepkg -s && cd ../openbox && makepkg -s

Would there be an easier way...?

Not looking to run makepkg in parallel, just one after the other.

Use a for loop.

Would something like this work..?

for i in $(cat $log1)
      do
        makepkg -s $i  
     done

Contents of my grep in $log1

/home/builds/gcc/PKGBUILD
/home/builds/firefox/PKGBUILD
/home/builds/conky/PKGBUILD
/home/builds/openbox/PKGBUILD
/home/builds/rsync/PKGBUILD

Somewhat new to this ...

cd /home/builds/
for pkg in gcc firefox conky openbox rsync; do
  cd $pkg
  makepkg -si
  cd ..
done

or even

cd /home/builds/
for in in *; do
...

cd /home/builds/
for in in *; do
...

Thanks for the reply, could you explain this to me .... I understand your other example

And how does the loop break after all packages have been installed?

This is the same as above Stan, does a loop as above, Except it assumes that ALL package directories in /home/builds will want to be built.

Thx... Its just been awhile since I had been writing any scripts ....

So, as you can see, for simply loops through whatever input it is given, until it runs out of input.
