Usage

This document shows how to use Arch Packaging Container to build Arch Linux packages.

Prerequisites

Install an OCI-compliant container management tool: Podman or Docker. The examples will be using Podman.
Existing PKGBUILD file for use by makepkg. This will be stored in ./pkg/PKGBUILD in the examples.

Running the Container

Create the build folder and grant write permission to all:
```
mkdir build
chmod 777 build
```

Run the container:

podman run --rm -v ./pkg:/pkg:ro -v ./build:/build code.fosterhangdaan.com/foster/arch-packaging-container:latest

When the build is finished, the compressed package will be stored in build/packages.

Rust

Example for a Rust build environment.

Create a volume to store Rust crates:
```
podman volume create cargo
```

Run the container:

podman run --rm -v ./pkg:/pkg:ro -v ./build:/build -v cargo:/home/builder/.cargo code.fosterhangdaan.com/foster/arch-packaging-container:latest
