ppkg

A portable package builder/manager for Unix-like system.

Caveats

This software is being actively developed. It's in beta stage and may not be stable. Some features are subject to change without notice.
Please do NOT place your own files under ~/.ppkg directory, as ppkg will change files under ~/.ppkg directory without notice.
Please do NOT run ppkg command in parallel so as not to generate dirty data.

Two implementations

This software provides two implementations:

implemented in language	branch
implemented in `POSIX Shell`	master
implemented in `C`	c

In theroy, these two implementations should have the same behaver except for have bugs.

Using ppkg via GitHub Actions

In this way, you will be liberated from the rut of setting up the build environmemt.

In this way, all you need to do is just clicking the buttons and waiting for finishing. After finishing, a url refers to a zip archive will be provided to download.

environment variables

HOME

this environment variable already have been set on most systems, if not set or set a empty string, you will receive an error message.
PATH

this environment variable already have been set on most systems, if not set or set a empty string, you will receive an error message.
SSL_CERT_FILE
```
curl -LO https://curl.se/ca/cacert.pem
export SSL_CERT_FILE="$PWD/cacert.pem"
```
In general, you don't need to set this environment variable, but, if you encounter the reporting the SSL certificate is invalid, trying to run above commands in your terminal will do the trick.
GOPROXY
```
export GOPROXY='https://goproxy.cn'
```
PPKG_HOME

If this environment variable is not set or set a empty string, $HOME/.ppkg will be used as the default value.
```
export PPKG_HOME=$HOME/ppkg-home
```
PPKG_URL_TRANSFORM
```
export PPKG_URL_TRANSFORM=/path/of/url-transform
```
/path/of/url-transform command would be invoked as /path/of/url-transform <URL>

/path/of/url-transform command must output a <URL>

you can generate a url-transform sample via ppkg gen-url-transform-sample

If you want to change the request url, you can set this environment variable. It is very useful for chinese users.
PPKG_XTRACE

for debugging purposes.

enables set -x:
```
export PPKG_XTRACE=1
```
PPKG_DEFAULT_TARGET

Some ACTIONs of ppkg are associated with an installed package which need PACKAGE-SPEC to be specified.

PACKAGE-SPEC : a formatted string that has form: <TARGET-PLATFORM>/<PACKAGE-NAME>, represents an installed package.

PACKAGE-NAME : should match the regular expression pattern ^[A-Za-z0-9+-_.@]{1,50}$

TARGET-PLATFORM : a formatted string that has form: <TARGET-PLATFORM-NAME>-<TARGET-PLATFORM-VERSION>-<TARGET-PLATFORM-ARCH>

TARGET-PLATFORM-ARCH : indicates which cpu arch was built for. value might be any one of x86_64 amd64 arm64 aarch64, ppc64le, riscv64, s390x

TARGET-PLATFORM-NAME : indicates which platform name was built for. value shall be any one of linux macos freebsd netbsd openbsd dragonflybsd

TARGET-PLATFORM-VERSION : indicates which platform version was built with.

To simplify the usage, you are allowed to omit <TARGET-PLATFORM>/. If <TARGET-PLATFORM>/ is omitted, environment variable PPKG_DEFAULT_TARGET would be checked, if this environment variable is not set, then your current running os target will be used as the default.

Example:
```
export PPKG_DEFAULT_TARGET=linux-glibc-x86_64
export PPKG_DEFAULT_TARGET=linux-musl-x86_64
export PPKG_DEFAULT_TARGET=macos-13.0-arm64
export PPKG_DEFAULT_TARGET=macos-13.0-x86_64
export PPKG_DEFAULT_TARGET=freebsd-13.2-amd64
export PPKG_DEFAULT_TARGET=openbsd-7.4-amd64
export PPKG_DEFAULT_TARGET=netbsd-9.3-amd64
```

Note: some commonly used environment variables are override by this software, these are CC, CXX, CPP, AS, AR, LD, CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS, PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR, PKG_CONFIG_PATH, ACLOCAL_PATH

ppkg formula scheme

a ppkg formula is a YAML format file which is used to config a ppkg package's meta-information including one sentence description, package version, installation instructions, etc.

a ppkg formula's filename suffix must be .yml

a ppkg formula'a filename prefix would be treated as the package name.

a ppkg formula'a filename prefix must match the regular expression partten ^[A-Za-z0-9+-._@]{1,50}$

a ppkg formula's file content only has one level mapping and shall has following KEY:

KEY	required?	overview
`pkgtype`	optional	indicates what type of this package. value shall be any one of `exe`, `pie`, `lib`, `exe+lib`.<br>To `exe` type package, `ppkg` would add `--static -static` options to `LDFLAGS` if `--static` install option is given.<br>To `pie` type package, it means that it doesn't support fully statically linking, it is supposed to be dynamically linked.<br>If this mapping is not present, `ppkg` will determine the package type by package name, if a package name starts/ends with `lib`, it would be recognized as type `lib`, otherwise, it would be recognized as type `exe`
`summary`	required	describe this package in one sentence.
`license`	optional	a space-separated list of SPDX license short identifiers
`version`	optional	the version of this package.<br>If this mapping is not present, it will be calculated from `src-url`, if `src-url` is also not present, it will be calculated from running time as format `date +%Y.%m.%d`

`web-url`	optional	the home webpage of this package.<br>If this mapping is not present, `git-url` must be present.

ppkg formula repository

a typical hierarchical structure of a ppkg formula repository looks like below:

PPKGFormulaRepoName
├── formula
│   ├── packageA.yml
│   └── packageB.yml
├── LICENSE
└── README.md

ppkg formula repository local location

${PPKG_HOME}/repos.d/${PPKGFormulaRepoName}

ppkg formula repository local config

a ppkg formula repository's config file is located at ${PPKG_HOME}/repos.d/${PPKGFormulaRepoName}/.ppkg-formula-repo.yml

a typical ppkg formula repository's config file content looks like below:

url: https://github.com/leleliu008/ppkg-formula-repository-official-core
branch: master
pinned: 0
enabled: 1
created: 1673684639
updated: 1673684767

If a ppkg formula repository is pinned, which means it would not be updated.

If a ppkg formula repository is disabled, which means ppkg would not search formulas in this formula repository.

ppkg formula repository management

run ppkg formula-repo-add command to create a new formula repository locally from an exsting remote git repository.

run ppkg formula-repo-init command to create a new formula repository locally without taking any further action.

ppkg official formula repository

ppkg official formula repository is hosted at https://github.com/leleliu008/ppkg-formula-repository-official-core

It would be automatically fetched to your local repository as name official-core when you run ppkg update command.

Note: If you find that a package is not in ppkg official formula repository yet, PR is welcomed.
