-# FullPKG
-
-FullPKG is a tool to build a package from ABS, find all needed dependencies
-along the way and build them too if necessary.
-
-## Before running fullpkg
-
-Update PKGBUILD path cache by running `toru -u <repo>` on your ABS root. Once
-for each repo you'll be using.

-# TreePKG
-
-`treepkg` is a tool for recursively building packages from an ABS tree. It has
-been tested while building packages for the mips64el port and it has proven to
-be useful.
-
-It was written having in mind the experience of `fullpkg`, which converted to
-`fullpkg-ng` and then splitted into `fullpkg-build` and `fullpkg-find`. It's
-aim is to simplify algorithms implemented on the fullpkg family, while solving
-some design issues that made fullpkg miss some packages sometimes.
-
-
-## Requirements
-
-`treepkg` needs the help of `toru-path` for "indexing" an ABS tree. `toru-path`
-stores a tokyocabinet database of "pkgname" => "path" pairs, where pkgname is
-replaced by the "pkgbase", "pkgname", and "provides" fields of a PKGBUILD,
-followed by the path of the current PKGBUILD.
-
-This information is then used by `treepkg` to know where to find the PKGBUILD of
-a package. The fullpkg family needed to guess this by traversing the full ABS
-tree, and therefore it was unable to find pkgnames that differ from pkgbase.
-
-So, to use `treepkg` you need to run `toru-path` after the ABS tree update.
-
-> Split PKGBUILDs make it difficult to extract metadata if it's stored inside
-> package() functions. This will happen with the provides field and `treepkg`
-> won't find that linux-libre-headers provides linux-headers, for instance.
-
-## How does it work
-
-`treepkg` must be run from the path of the PKGBUILD you're going to build (this
-may change over time). This will be DEPTH=0 and it will create a temporary
-directory to work on in the format /tmp/pkgbase-treepkg-random-string. Inside
-this directory, it will copy the needed PKGBUILDs prefixed with their depth
-number. The first package will always be copied to 000\_pkgbase.
-
-From then on, treepkg sources the PKGBUILD and runs itself over all pkgnames on
-the depends and makedepends array, only if it detects their versions aren't
-already built or deprecated by newer ones, using the `is_built` utility.
-
-While processing this info, it will increase the depth of the packages. It'll
-also write a CSV file with the knowledge it acquires from the ABS tree (useful
-for debugging). This file is called BUILDORDER.
-
-When this process ends (no more needed dependencies are found), the temporary
-work dir is traversed in inverse order (from higher depths to 0) running the
-FULLBUILDCMD from libretools.conf and then the HOOKLOCALRELEASE variable, which
-*must* provide a way to `repo-add` the packages to an available repository, so
-the next build will find and install the newer version using pacman.
-
-For instance, having this as the first pacman repository (on /etc/pacman.conf):
-
- [stage3]
- Server = /var/cache/pacman/pkg
-
-And this on /etc/makepkg.conf:
-
- PKGDEST=/var/cache/pacman/pkg
-
-Your HOOKLOCALRELEASE script should look like this:
-
- # Get needed vars
- source /etc/makepkg.conf
- source /etc/libretools.conf
- source ./PKGBUILD
-
- unset build package check
-
- fullver=$(full_version ${epoch:-0} ${pkgver} ${pkgrel})
- pkgs=()
-
- # Generate canonical package paths
- msg "Adding packages to [stage3]..."
- for name in ${pkgname[@]}; do
- msg2 "${name} ${fullver}"
- pkgs+=("${PKGDEST}/${name}-${fullver}-*.pkg.tar.*")
- done
-
- # Add the packages to a local
- repo-add ${PKGDEST}/stage3.db.tar.gz ${pkgs[@]}
-
- # Stage the packages for later releasing
- librestage $1
-
-> Note the first HOOKLOCALRELEASE argument is the remote repository name (core,
-> extra, etc.)
-
-There's a special case when a dependency depends on another that was put on a
-depth level lower than itself. In this case the build order will be wrongly
-assumed and you may end up with broken packages.
-
-To explain it with an example:
-
- ghostscript (0) - fontconfig (1)
- \ cups (1) - fontconfig (ignored)
-
-The second time fontconfig appears, it will be ignored. In this case cups will
-build against an fontconfig version that will be outdated by the fontconfig
-version at depth 1. In this cases, `treepkg` will detect it cached the
-dependency on a lower depth, and will "bury" it to a depth higher than the
-current one. Thus this will become the build path:
-
- ghostscript (0) - fontconfig (buried)
- \ cups (1) - fontconfig (2)
-
-> Note: currently, `treepkg` doesn't perform recursive burying, so if you hit a
-> really long build tree with some circular dependencies you may find packages
-> buried several times and queued to build before their actuals deps.
-
-## Tips
-
-`treepkg` accepts two arguments: 1) the temporary work dir and 2) the next depth
-level it should use (if current equals 0, it'll pass 1). You don't need to pass
-this arguments when running it manually, they're used internally to
-automatically construct the build path.
-
-But if a build failed, `treepkg` will cancel itself immediately informing you
-where the leftovers files were left. If you pass this path to `treepkg` as the
-first argument, it will resume the build, skipping to the last package being
-packaged.
-
-You can take the opportunity given by this to modify the build path or the
-PKGBUILDs, without having to run `treepkg` twice. For instance you can remove a
-package from the build order, or move it manually, or update the PKGBUILD that
-made `treepkg` fail in the first place. You can force a skipped package (after
-building it manually) by using `touch built_ok` on the PKGBUILD dir.
-
-You don't probably want to mess with the second argument though.
