Bedrock Linux bpt repositories

This is a collection of Bedrock Linux bpt package build definitions (*.bbuild)` and infrastructure to manage associated repository maintenance operations:

• Building binary packages (*.bpt) from package build definition (*.bbuild)
• Building repository indices (pkgidx and fileidx).
• (Re)signing all of the above mentioned files, including updated *.bbuild files.
• Checking for upstream package updates.

Directory structure

This repository contains two sub-repositories:

• main: Official Bedrock Linux packages with a dedicated package maintainer.
• community: Community-contributed packages. These are checked before acceptance, but maintenance may be slow or non-existent.

Submitting bbuild changes without signing

Submission bbuilds to this repository from non-Bedrock Linux team members are not expected to be signed. If you are interested in contributing, simply submit your proposal - a patch file, a GitHub Pull Request, etc - without the file's signature taken into consideration. Should your proposal be accepted by a Bedrock Linux team member, that member will sign it before it is made available in the official Bedrock Linux repositories.

Checking for upstream updates

The bpt package definition format (*.bbuild) includes a section for querying upstream package version (upstream_pkgver()). The provided make check-update recipe will run this for all discovered package build definitions and print a list of packages with available updates.

Updating binary files and signatures

If you have access to the Bedrock Linux build system private key or have forked this repository for use as a third-party repository and wish to update the signatures and various generated binary files for use by bpt:

1. Ensure bpt is available in the $PATH.
2. Configure /etc/bpt/bpt.conf's [make-repo] section.
3. Ensure the build key is found at $HOME/.minisign/minisign.key and that you know its passphrase.
4. Run the make sign to sign your */*.bbuild files.
5. make and when prompted provide the minisign secret key passphrase.
