Arch Linux makepkg environment

The files in this folder are forked from the docker-makepkg repo.

This container is intended to test PKGBUILDs by installing dependencies and running makepkg -f in a clean Arch installation.

This fork builds the package with the number of cores returned by $(nproc) and compresses it using ZSTD. The script run.sh is changed to a bash script to avoid errors with hyphens in function names in the PKGBUILDs.

Container setup

Build

podman build -t makepkg . -f Containerfile

Run

Use either of the following commands.

# This does not export the built package
podman run -v $PWD:/pkg makepkg

# This exports the built package file to the working directory
podman run -e EXPORT_PKG=1 -v $PWD:/pkg makepkg

Extra details

• base-devel is preinstalled.
• All depends will be installed (including AUR packages using yay).
• GPG keys used to verify signatures are auto-fetched.
• Packages installed during image creation are not updated when building a package. You may want to update image if errors arise due to old packages.
