haffmans/aur-mingw-builder repository overview

This Docker image can be used to easily build packages from the ArchLinux User Repository (AUR). By default it is prepared to build mingw-w64 packages.

⁠Building Packages

To build the packages, start a terminal in the container and run update.sh.

docker run --name aur-mingw-build haffmans/aur-mingw-builder:latest /build/update.sh

The packages will end up in the /build/repo directory inside the container; the /build directory is a Docker volume.

Building will take a while but can be interrupted at any time. Just restart the container later with docker start to update packages or build missing ones.

⁠Updating the package list

A default package list is part of the image. To update this list inside the previously made aur-mingw-build container, run the update-packages.sh script:

docker run --rm --volumes-from=aur-mingw-build haffmans/aur-mingw-builder:latest /build/update-packages.sh

You can run this script outside the docker environment too, if you have yaourt installed.

⁠Community keys

This image contains a pubkeys.txt file which contains the public keys to be imported during the build. Each line contains a public key that will be imported using sudo pacman-key -r <KEY>.
