feat(build): consolidate repo flags in build and release subcommand
Previously the behavior was inconsistent and not fully fulfilling its
purpose of only using --repo once when initially pushing a new and
unknown package to the official repositories.

Consolidate the behavior by only allowing to use --repo during the
initial packaging and disallow any subsequent usage. The expected user
experience is to subsequently use --testing or --staging to influence
the auto-detection of the build target. This avoids any kind of human
error which leads to releasing core packages to extra-testing by
accident.

Furthermore, allow the build subcommand to automatically fallback to
extra as the default stable repository target which greatly improves the
usability for AUR or local override builds.

Fixes #193
Fixes #191

Devtools - development tools for Arch Linux

This repository contains tools for the Arch Linux distribution for building and maintaining official repository packages.

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.

BUILDTOOLVER="${pkgver}-${pkgrel}-${arch}" make all

Development

For local development testing, there is a convenience wrapper for pkgctl that will automatically build the project and proxy all calls to the local build directory:

./test/bin/pkgctl --help

Commit messages

All commits must follow conventional commits.

The following groups are allowed:

  • chore
  • feat
  • fix
  • doc
  • perf
  • test

To override the scope for the changelog entry use the Component: trailer.

Example:

feat(db): yay mega cool feature

Very long and useful description.

Fixes #1
Fixes #2

Component: pkgctl db remove

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
