arch-hs: A program generating PKGBUILD for hackage packages.

This is a package candidate release! Here you can preview how this package release will appear once published to the main package index (which can be accomplished via the 'maintain' link below). Please note that once a package has been published to the main package index it cannot be undone! Please consult the package uploading documentation for more information.

Warnings:

arch-hs is a command-line program, which simplifies the process of producing and maintaining haskell packages for archlinux distribution by automating the PKGBUILD generation with the dependency resolving and template filling. Packagers should follow the Haskell package guidelines.

arch-hs

GitHub CI Build Status Hackage MIT license

A program generating PKGBUILD for hackage packages. Special thanks to felixonmars.

Notice that arch-hs will always support only the latest GHC version.

Introduction

Given the name of a package in hackage, arch-hs can generate its corresponding PKGBUILD draft. It has a naive built-in dependency solver, which can fetch all dependencies we need to produce a archlinux package. During the dependency calculation, all version constraints will be discarded due to the arch haskell packaging strategy, and packages already exist in the community will be excluded.

Prerequisite

arch-hs is just a PKGBUILD text file generator, which is not integrated with pacman, depending on nothing than:

Installation

Install the latest release

# pacman -S arch-hs

Install it directly using pacman.

Install the development version

$ yay -S arch-hs-git

Install it using your AUR helper, or just pacman with archlinxcn, which provides pre-built binary, following the latest git commit.

Build from source (for development)

$ git clone https://github.com/berberman/arch-hs

Then build and install it via stack or cabal.

Stack

$ stack install

Cabal (dynamic)

$ cabal configure --disable-library-vanilla --enable-shared --enable-executable-dynamic --ghc-options=-dynamic 
$ cabal install

Usage

Just run arch-hs in command line with options and a target. Here is an example: we will create the archlinux package of dhall-lsp-server:

$ arch-hs -o "/home/berberman/Desktop/test/" dhall-lsp-server

......

  ⓘ Recommended package order (from topological sort):
1. haskell-lsp-types
2. haskell-lsp
3. dhall-lsp-server

  ⓘ Detected flags from targets (their values will keep default unless you specify):
haskell-lsp
    ⚐ demo:
      description: Build the lsp-hello demo executable
      default: False
      isManual: False

  ⓘ Write file: /home/berberman/Desktop/test/dhall-lsp-server/PKGBUILD
  ⓘ Write file: /home/berberman/Desktop/test/haskell-lsp/PKGBUILD
  ⓘ Write file: /home/berberman/Desktop/test/haskell-lsp-types/PKGBUILD
  ✔ Success!

This message tells that in order to package dhall-lsp-server, we must package haskell-lsp-types and haskell-lsp sequentially, because they don't present in archlinux community repo.

/home/berberman/Desktop/test

arch-hs will generate PKGBUILD for each packages. Let's see what we have in ./haskell-lsp/PKGBUILD:

  install -D -m644 "LICENSE" "${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}/LICENSE"
  rm -f "${pkgdir}/usr/share/doc/${pkgname}/LICENSE"
}

arch-hs will collect the information from hackage db, and apply it into a fixed template after some processing steps including renaming, matching license, and filling out dependencies etc. If the package doesn't have test suits, check() will be removed. However, packaging haven't been done so far. arch-hs may does well statically, but we should guarantee that this package can be built by ghc with the latest dependencies; hence some patchs may be required in prepare().

Options

Output

$ arch-hs -o "/home/berberman/Desktop/test/" termonad

This will generate a series of PKGBUILD including termonad with its dependencies into the output dir.

Flag Assignments

$ arch-hs -f inline-c:gsl-example:true termonad

Using -f can pass flags, which may affect the results of rsolving.

AUR Searching

$ arch-hs -a termonad

Using -a can regard AUR as another package provider. arch-hs will try to search missing packages in AUR.

Skipping Components

$ arch-hs -s termonad-test termonad

Using -s can force skip runnable components in dependency rsolving. This is useful when a package doesn't provide flag to disable its runnables, which will be built by default but are trivial in system level packaging. Notice that this only makes sense in the lifetime of arch-hs, whereas generated PKGBUILD and actual build processes will not be affected.

Extra Cabal Files

$ arch-hs -e /home/berberman/arch-hs/arch-hs.cabal arch-hs

Using -e can can include extra .cabal files as supplementary. Useful when the target like arch-hs hasn't been released to hackage.

Help

$ arch-hs --help
arch-hs - a program generating PKGBUILD for hackage packages.

Usage: arch-hs [-h|--hackage PATH] [-c|--community PATH] [-o|--output PATH] 
               [-f|--flags package_name:flag_name:true|false,...]

                           tarball (default: "~/.cabal/packages/YOUR_HACKAGE_MIRROR/01-index.tar | 00-index.tar")
  -c,--community PATH      Path to
                           community.db (default: "/var/lib/pacman/sync/community.db")
  -o,--output PATH         Output path to generated PKGBUILD files (empty means
                           dry run)

  -s,--skip component_name,...
                           Skip a runnable component (executable, test suit, or
                           benchmark) in dependency calculation
  -e,--extra PATH_1,...    Extra cabal files' path - e.g.
                           /home/berberman/arch-hs/arch-hs.cabal
  -a,--aur                 Enable AUR searching
  -h,--help                Show this help text

For all available options, have a look at the help message.

Diff

arch-hs also provides a component called arch-hs-diff. arch-hs-diff can show differences of information used in PKGBUILD between two versions of a hackage package. This is useful in the subsequent maintenance of a package. Example:

$ arch-hs-diff HTTP 4000.3.14 4000.3.15
  ▶ You didn't pass -f, different flag values may make difference in dependency resolving.

  ✔ Success!

arch-hs-diff does not require hackage db, it downloads cabal files from hackage server instead.
