[pacman-dev] Issues with strip on package sources
by Mathew de Detrich 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

A problem that seems to be occurring on packages (typically on AUR) where makepkg using gnu's strip causes the package building process to fail (since /usr/bin/strip terminates with a different error message) when there is an incompatible object file in the source. As an example with this current package (read the latest comments) https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31566 It fails to build unless you add options=(!strip) into the PKGBUILD, which of course solves the problem in a bastardized way since it doesn't strip anything at all (and causes ridiculously bloated packages) In this case the problem seems to be that the source package contains an object file from a different architecture (x64) which when stripped, causes the strip to prematurely terminate (and thus the building of the package to fail) I looked through the man page for strip and there doesn't seem to be an option for it to continue stripping even if it hits an incompatible source file. The other option I guess would be to add more granularity (or another option) where you can provide a mask for objects not to be stripped (so you can do something like *64.so and any file matching that mask wont be stripped). Or you could manually invoke strip on every object file, and not terminate the makepkg process should it hit an "incompatible" object file In any case its an annoyance

[pacman-dev] Sign packages and databases using dedicated scripts
by Pierre Schmitz 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

Hi, in their current state makepkg and repo-add have built-in functions to sign packages or the repo database. Unfortunately we wont be able to use neither of these in Arch Linux. That also means that this functionality needs to be reimplemented in devtools and dbscripts. We cannot let makepkg sing the packages because we built packages in a chroot environment that may even be on a different host than the packages key. The situation with repo-add is even more complicated as we'll need to sign a file with a key which are on different hosts. (I was told this might be doable using ssh-/gpg-agent) However, my point is that it would be nice to have separate scripts to sign a package and database file. This way we could use it like this: chroot makepkg signpkg Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
