COMMANDS

all
    Runs the entire build process. This is the default when no other command is specified, and is roughly an alias for validate builddeps clean fetch unpack prepare mkusers build check rootpkg.

build
    Compile and install package into $pkgdir.

check
    Run any defined tests concerning the package

checksum
    Generate checksum to be included in APKBUILD

clean
    Remove temp build and install dirs

cleancache
    Remove downloaded files from $SRCDEST

cleanoldpkg
    Remove binary packages except current version

cleanpkg
    Remove already built binary and source package

deps
    Install packages listed in makedepends and depends

fetch
    Fetch sources to $SRCDEST (consider: 'abuild fetch verify')

index
    Regenerate indexes in $REPODEST

listpkg
    List target packages

package
    Install project into

prepare
    Apply patches

rootbld
    Build package in clean chroot. Requires abuild-rootbld.

rootpkg
    Run 'package', the split functions and create apks as fakeroot

validate
    Basic validation of APKBUILD

snapshot
    Create a $giturl snapshot and upload to $disturl

sourcecheck
    Check if remote source package exists upstream

srcpkg
    Make a source package

undeps
    Uninstall packages listed in makedepends and depends

unpack
    Unpack sources to $srcdir

up2date
    Compare target and sources dates

verify
    Verify checksums

ENVIRONMENT

APKBUILD
    Override path to APKBUILD file.

BOOTSTRAP
    Used when bootstrapping with no existing packages by minimising build dependencies. This flag only has an effect on a few select packages.

    A value of nocc omits any compilation (e.g.: include only source headers). A value of nolibc assumes that no libc is available.

    This list of values is not exhaustive.

CHOST
    Generate packages for given arch or hostspec.

CTARGET
    Generate compiler for given arch or hostspec.

MOVE_CACHES
    Don't use global cache directories for Go and Cargo.

PACKAGER
    Name and email of the packages in RFC5322 format. E.g.: John Doe <john@example.com>.

PACKAGER_PRIVKEY
    Path to a private key used to sign packages.

REPODEST
    Packages shall be stored in $REPODEST/$repo/$pkgname-$pkgver-r$pkgrel.apk, where $repo is the base name of the parent directory of $startdir.

SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
    Use this timestamp as a reference for reproducible builds. See https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/source-date-epoch/

SUDO_APK
    Command to use to run apk as root. Defaults to abuild-apk.

USE_CCACHE
    If set to a non-empty value, enables ccache support.

USE_COLORS
    If set to a non-empty value, print coloured output using ANSI escape sequences.

FILES

/etc/abuild.conf
    Configuration is read from this file by default.

$HOME/.abuild/abuild.conf
    User-specific configuration is read from this file, if it exists.

EXAMPLES

Update checksums for an APKBUILD:

    abuild checksum

    abuild -rc
