Manjaro-tools

Revision as of 08:52, 31 October 2018 by imported>Fhdk (→‎Configuration)


Introduction

manjaro-tools consists of a lot of different tools aimed at Manjaro developers. It is splitted into 3 different packages:

  • manjaro-tools-base contains basic tools, different chroot tools, and buildset
  • manjaro-tools-pkg contains small helper tools, buildpkg, and buildtree
  • manjaro-tools-iso contains small helper tools and buildiso


All of these manjaro-tools packages are replacements for devtools and manjaroiso.

A detailed user manual is available at github.


Configuration

manjaro-tools can be configured by copying the folder /etc/manjaro-tools to your home in ~/.config folder and then edit the file ./config/manjaro-tools/manjaro-tools.conf

Files

These are the new names for renamed scripts.

  • mkmanjaroroot --> mkchroot
  • manjarobuild --> buildpkg
  • mkset --> buildset
  • pacstrap --> basestrap
  • genfstab --> fstabgen
  • arch-chroot --> manjaro-chroot


buildset

buildset is used to create build lists. Build lists can be defined in /etc/manjaro-tools/sets/<buildlistname>.set

The help looks like the following:

$ buildset -h
Usage: buildset [options]
    -c <name>   Create set
    -r <name>   Remove set
    -s <name>   Show set
    -i          Iso mode
    -q          Query sets
    -h          This help


To create a build list, one can run in the pkgbuilds dir:

buildset -c <name>

This will create a build list containing all directories with PKGBUILDs in them. This generated list can be then edited, like packages can be removed.

For example, in a git clone of https://github.com/manjaro/packages-openrc

$ ls 
consolekit/                  manjaro-tools-git/           openrc-net/
eudev/                       manjaro-tools-git-devel/     openrc-systemdcompat/

lib32-eudev-systemdcompat/   openrc-core/                 sysvinit/
lxqt-lightdm-greeter/        openrc-desktop/              upower-pm-utils/
manjaro-openrc/              openrc-devel/                README.md
manjaro-tools/               openrc-misc/

Running buildset -c openrc does

Note
The set name should be different from a directory name in pkgbuilds dir. Anything else should work, eg adding a date to the name.


buildpkg

buildpkg is used to build a particular package or a set. In the following chapter all functions of buildpkg get explained.

If you want a detailed example how to use buildpkg to build packages for a local repository, please look here.

In some cases, the documentation of buildpkg's predecessor might be helpful: Devtools.


The help looks like the following:

Usage: buildpkg [options]
   -a <arch>          Arch [default: x86_64]
   -b <branch>        Branch [default: stable]
   -c                 Recreate chroot
   -h                 This help
   -i <pkg>           Install a package into the working copy of the chroot
   -n                 Install and run namcap check
   -p <pkg>           Build list or pkg [default: default]
   -q                 Query settings and pretend build
   -r <dir>           Chroots directory
                      [default: /var/lib/manjaro-tools/buildpkg]
   -s                 Sign packages
   -w                 Clean up cache and sources

To build a single package, go into the directory which is one above the package build directory (which contains the PKGBUILD), and run it as:

buildpkg -p <package-name>

For example, we want to build the upower-pm-utils package from the following PKGBUILD folders

$ ls
consolekit                  manjaro-tools          openrc-video
eudev                       networkmanager-openrc  packages
eudev-systemdcompat         openrc-aur             polkit-consolekit
kde-servicemenus-pkg-tools  openrc-base            README.md
keyboardctl-openrc          openrc-core            sddm-consolekit
kf5-servicemenus-pkg-tools  openrc-desktop         sysvinit
lib32-eudev                 openrc-devel           upower-pm-utils
lib32-eudev-systemdcompat   openrc-misc
manjaro-openrc              openrc-net

To test if the options are correct, the -q option can be used.

After that to build the package -p can be used.

To clean the chroot before building -c can be used.

To build a set the name of the set can be used. The current sets can be queried with the -q option.

buildtree

buildtree is a little tools to sync arch abs and manjaro packages git repos.

The arguments are:

$ buildtree -h
Usage: buildtree [options]
    -s            Sync manjaro tree
    -a            Sync arch abs
    -c            Clean package tree
    -q            Query settings
    -h            This help[/code]

To sync Arch and Manjaro trees:

buildtree -as


buildiso

buildiso is used to build a particular ISO or a set of ISOs. All functions of buildiso will be explained in the following chapters.

If you want a detailed guide how to use buildiso to build your own Manjaro ISOs from scatch, please look here.


Overview

The help looks like the following for x86_64:

$ buildiso -h
Usage: buildiso [options]
    -p <profile>       Buildset or profile [default: default]
    -a <arch>          Arch [default: x86_64]
    -b <branch>        Branch [default: stable]
    -r <dir>           Chroots directory
                       [default: /var/lib/manjaro-tools/buildiso]
    -c                 Disable clean work dir
    -x                 Clean xorg cache
    -l                 Clean lng cache
    -i                 Build images only
    -s                 Generate iso only
                       Requires pre built images (-i)
    -v                 Verbose output, show profies detail (-q)
    -q                 Query settings and pretend build
    -h                 This help


Build profiles for official and community editions of Manjaro can be obtained from here, and this is what the current folder looks like:

$ ls
cinnamon       kde          kde-openrc  lxqt-openrc  netbook     openbox-legacy  shared   xfce-minimal
enlightenment  kde5         lxde        mate         net-openrc  pekwm-openrc    sysmenu  xfce-openbox-openrc
gnome          kde-minimal  lxqt        net          openbox     README.md       xfce

Query Building

To query build an ISO (-q option), for example the xfce-openbox-openrc profile, the following command can be used:

$ buildiso -p xfce-openbox-openrc/ -b stable -q

Building with predownloaded Xorg packages

To build an ISO while retaining the previously downloaded cache of Xorg packages, the -x option can be used:

$ buildiso -p xfce-openbox-openrc/ -b stable -x

Building with a small config change

Note
It is to be verified if the procedure given below works or not.

Supposing something only changed in config, like a setting, instead of building the whole ISO from scratch, the ISO build directory can be modified and the ISO can be rebuilt. For example, supposing one changed xfce-overlay/etc/skel/.conkyrc in the config, one can go into the work directory, modify the said file, and rebuild the ISO using the -cs option.

The work directory can be found using the -q option:

$ buildiso -p xfce-openbox-openrc/ -q
==> manjaro-tools
 -> version: 0.9.6.4
 -> user_config: /home/aaditya/.config/manjaro-tools.conf
==> PROFILE:

 -> buildset_iso: xfce-openbox-openrc/
 -> is_buildset: false
==> OPTIONS:
 -> arch: x86_64
 -> branch: unstable
 -> chroots_iso: /mnt/datalinux2/manjaro-tools/buildiso
...
...
==> BUILD QUEUE:

 -> initsys: openrc

 -> is_plymouth: false
 -> pacman_conf: pacman-multilib.conf

 -> iso_file: manjaro-xfce-openrc-2015-03-01-x86_64.iso

(work directory highlighted in bold)

The required file can be edited as root, for example:

$ sudo nano /mnt/datalinux2/manjaro-tools/buildiso/xfce-openbox-openrc//x86_64/xfce-image/etc/skel/.conkyrc

There is a catch involved here though; the file one wants to edit may be present in multiple images, like root-image, livecd-image, and DE-image (eg, xfce-image), and would need to be edited in the respective image directories.


Then the ISO then can be rebuilt as:

$ buildiso -p xfce-openbox-openrc/ -cs

Alternative

First only the chroot for the ISO could be created, using the -i option, then the changes can be made, and finally an ISO can be built with the -sc option.

For example:

$ buildiso -p xfce-openrc/ -b stable -i
==> Start building [xfce-openrc/]

 -> Packages-Custom: Packages-Xfce

 -> Writing root entry ...
==> Done creating [isomounts]
--> Time build_images: 4.28 minutes
==> WARNING: Continue compress: buildiso -p xfce-openrc/ -sc ...

After this the changes in the work directory can be made, and the ISO can be generated with:

$ buildiso -p xfce-openrc/ -sc
