Elixir https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Strong214356/suprapack-list/master/
Supravim https://gitlab.com/supraproject/suprastore_repository/-/raw/plugin-supravim/

you can add a repository with NAME and the url/directory of the repo

~/.config/suprapack/user.conf

is_cached:true # if true suprapack keep suprapack at ~/.config/suprapack/pkg show_script:false # show script pre and post install before installing prefix:~/.local # change your prefix installation like '/' or other

Arguments

--yes # say yes everytime ! dont tell this ([Y/n]) --force # force reinstall ([Y/n]) --prefix # change the prefix temporary ([Y/n])

Developper

you can build a package with fake usr folder or with a script PKGBUILD

Without Script

To build a package you need create a fake root directory like

usr/
usr/bin/your_program
usr/share/applications/blabla.desktop
usr/lib/your_lib
usr/...

and make suprapack build usr

you will enter the package creation mode if you need a script pre and/or post install you can add at usr/post_install or usr/pre_install

in 2.5.2 you can add uninstall script in usr/uninstall

With Script

Suprapack support PKGBUILD-script since 2.2 like ArchLinux Pacman

exemple of pkgbuild:

pkgname=nameofpkg
pkgver=128.521.20
pkgdesc="The supra description"
pkgauthor=suprAuthor


source=('https://supra-project/file.zip')

makedepends=('vala')

package() {
    unzip file.zip
    mv file $pkgdir/usr/bin/
}
	

here all variable:

• srcdir
• pkdir
• prefix

here all attributs suprapack build can use:

• pkgname
• pkgver
• pkgdesc
• pkgauthor
• source
• depends
• conflicts
• makedepends

here function:

prepare

call before package

package

move $srcdir/file to $pkgdir

you can add as many functions as you like example:

pkgver(){
    echo -n "5.2"
}

# all output is now the content of pkgver
package() {
    echo $pkgver
    #output is 5.2
}

this principle applies to all your functions

source

with source() you can download some source or copy file into srcdir

source=('https://domain.net/file'
        'https://otherdomain.net/file2')

source support:

• http download
• simple file
• git url

use 'git+url' if it's git url

source=('git+https://gitlab.com/nda-cunh/suprapack')

my_file will be copied to $srcdir

source=('my_file')

you can force rename the source with '::'

source=('name::https://gitlab.com/nda-cunh/suprapack')

other tips

you can make a variable with other variable:

pkgname=hello
pkgver=5.2
nameofsource=${pkgname}-${pkgver}

source='$nameofsource::https://download/file-${pkgver}.tar.gz'

Repository

If you want create a repository you need fill a folder with all file.suprapack

./a.suprapack
./b.suprapack
./hello.suprapack

and use suprapack prepare you can push your repository and add it in mirrorlist
