Sounds like Archlinux User repository aka AUR? TUR functioning mechanism is bit different. Instead of building packages in device that too in android is quite hectic work for user. So TUR saves resources and time since user could install pre-compiled package.
Add TUR in Termux.
pkg install tur-repo
Once tur-repo successfully installed. TUR packages can be install with pkg or apt in same ways.
NOTE: TUR's apt repository is consist of many components. tur, tur-on-device and tur-continuous are avaiable by default. If you want to subscribe other components in TUR, please add them manually.
TUR also hosts a PyPI index and contains some prebuilt Python packages.
python -m pip install some_packages --extra-index-url https://termux-user-repository.github.io/pypi/
Request to all TUR users.
Please don't Discuss/Open issues about any of TUR packages in Termux Offical forum. TUR packages are not Termux official packages so any discussion just waste time of Termux maintainters. Users are free to discuss/open issues here.
TUR uses same building scripts what Termux does.So all building mechanism is same.
- Clone this repository.
- Change directory and Execute
./setup-environment.shIt will fetch Termux package building scripts. - Create build.sh file under tur directory (not in packages). Go through the official termux wiki.
TUR solves following issues of termux user:
- Less popular packages could be added too.
- Many python/node/ruby packages needs compilation in device. TUR could make installation easy via distributing deb file.
- Instead of hosting own apt repository, One could add their package in TUR.
- One place for all packages which could not be part of official termux repo for some reason.
- Old versions of packages available in TUR.
Suggestions/ideas are always welcome.
Let's make TUR a single/trusted place for all unofficial debfile which supposed to be run in Termux. In order to achieve it we need your precious suggestions. Please let us know your suggestions through starting a discussion/issue.
The components in TUR are listed below.
tur: The main component. It contains almost all the packages.
tur-on-device: This component contains some packages that cannot be cross-compiling. It uses Termux-Docker to simulate a Termux-like environment. It runs under a self-hosted arm environment and Github-Action-provided x86 environment. Not every package is able to compile under it.
tur-continuous: This component contains some packages that costs lots of time to compile, e.g. chromium-based applications.
tur-hacking: This component contains some hacking tools.
tur-multilib WIP: This component contains some packages that provide a multilib environment.
Some other components may be added to TUR. If you're interested in it, please see TODO.md for more information.
