Templates

Below there is an example of a pkgbuild file.

Name="Fubá"
Vendor="Pindorama"
Description="Fubá flour-based utilities."
Version="0.0"
Depends_on=("base/kernel-headers", "base/LibC")
Maintainer="Barão de Mauá"
Hotline="[email protected]"

# vim: set filetype=sh :
c -cd "fuba.$Version.tar.xz" | tar -xvf - -C "$OBJDIR"

cd "$OBJDIR/fuba-$Version"
./configure --prefix=/usr \
	--libdir=/lib \
	--pkgconfigdir=/usr/share/lib/pkgconfig

gmake -j$(nproc) \
	&& DESTDIR="$Destdir" gmake install

These are the functions currently implemented and ready to use on pkgbuilds:

Function identifier	Description
basename	Strips directory and suffix from filenames.
c	Wrapper for decompressors that supports writing the decompressed data to the standard output. Currently it supports cat (for tarballs without compression), bzip2, gzip and xz.
lines	Counts the quantity of lines, like wc -l.
n	Counts elements. It's a workaround for the # macro present in GNU Broken-Again Shell 4.3, but you can use it instead the aforesaid macro in any shell that support arrays.
nproc	Counts processors in the machine, multiplatform (can run on *BSD, Darwin (MacOS), Linux and SunOS);
log	Prints messages to the standard error output
realpath	Gets the real path to files.
timeout	Runs a commmand with time limit.
