# Devtools - development tools for Arch Linux
|
|
|
|
This repository contains tools for the Arch Linux distribution for building
|
|
and maintaining official repository packages.
|
|
|
|
## Patches
|
|
|
|
Patches can be send to arch-projects@archlinux.org or via a pull request on
|
|
Github. When sending patches to the mailing list make sure to set a valid
|
|
subjectprefix otherwise the email is denied by mailman. Git can be configured
|
|
as following.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git config format.subjectprefix 'devtools] [PATCH'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
When building official distro packages the `BUILDTOOLVER` needs to be set to the
|
|
exact label of the release package in order to allow to detect the exactly used
|
|
devtools version. This is required for reproducible builds to fetch the according
|
|
files like `makepkg.conf`.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
BUILDTOOLVER="${pkgver}-${pkgrel}-${arch}" make all
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Releasing
|
|
|
|
1. bump the version in the Makefile
|
|
2. Commit everything as ```Version $(date +"%Y%m%d")```
|
|
3. Create a new tag ```git tag -s $(date +"%Y%m%d")```
|
|
4. Push changes
|
|
5. Upload the source tarball with ```make dist upload```
|
|
6. Update the package
|
