alpm-buildinfo

A library and commandline toolkit for the specification, writing and parsing of Arch Linux Package Management (ALPM) BUILDINFO files.

BUILDINFO files describe the build environment of a package and carry various datasets, that help in reproducing the same package bit-by-bit.

Documentation

• https://alpm.archlinux.page/rustdoc/alpm_buildinfo/ for development version of the crate
• https://docs.rs/alpm-buildinfo/latest/alpm_buildinfo/ for released versions of the crate

fn main() {

}

Commandline

Create a BUILDINFO version 1 file using alpm-buildinfo:

alpm-buildinfo create v1 \
    --builddate 1 \
    --builddir /build \
    --buildenv env \
    --buildenv '!otherenv' \
    --installed 'bar-1:1.0.1-15-any' \
    --installed 'beh-2.3-1-any' \
    --options something \
    --options '\!else' \
    --packager 'Foobar McFooface <foobar@mcfooface.org>' \
    --pkgarch any \
    --pkgbase foo \
    --pkgbuild-sha256sum b5bb9d8014a0f9b1d61e21e796d78dccdf1352f23cd32812f4850b878ae4944c \
    --pkgname foo \
    --pkgver 1.0.0-1 \

All options for alpm-buildinfo can also be provided as environment variables. The following is equivalent to the above:

BUILDINFO_BUILDDATE="1" \
BUILDINFO_BUILDDIR="/build" \
BUILDINFO_BUILDENV='env !otherenv' \
BUILDINFO_INSTALLED="bar-1:1.0.1-15-any beh-2.3-1-any" \
BUILDINFO_OPTIONS='something !else' \
BUILDINFO_PACKAGER="Foobar McFooface <foobar@mcfooface.org>" \
BUILDINFO_PKGARCH="any" \
BUILDINFO_PKGBASE="foo" \
BUILDINFO_PKGBUILD_SHA256SUM="b5bb9d8014a0f9b1d61e21e796d78dccdf1352f23cd32812f4850b878ae4944c" \
BUILDINFO_PKGNAME="foo" \
BUILDINFO_PKGVER="1.0.0-1" \
alpm-buildinfo create v1
