Title: [SOLVED] Where can one find instruction to buiild pkg from source In Artix?
Post by: wanwalk on 19 February 2024, 01:46:02
Hi there!
 
I have  re-installed  Artix in one of my computers and pacman  is not finding some packages I had in the previous installation  and still have in other machines,  like for example Rosegarden,  OpenShot and QSynth

I have  not enabled Arch repositories in this installation so  far, because

https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Repositories (https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Repositories)  states:

Warning: Any unofficial repository (Including arch repositories and AUR) is not supported by Artix Linux. Use them at your own risk. Packages in these repository get update at a different rate than the official repositories and may break your system. If you have any problem with your system after installing packages from these repositories, you will have to solve it yourself. If you need help, you can ask in the forum, but don't demand any help from the developers.

So I am wondering whether it is about time  to try learning to build packages from source in Artix.  Searched around and did not find anything specific  for Artix, noticed a few references to art-tools  and ABS.

I will be grateful for any links to relevant material or advice on how to get such packages installed without greater risks.

Much of what you asked is discussed in this thread. (I just had a job finding it again so I'm not suggesting you should have)

OpenShot is in Arch repos. He doesn't want to mix them.

openshot is in the artix extra repos.  I don't know how else to say thing and I showed it to you in the pacman command.  Am I confused here?

I think you are. "extra" is arch's repo, not artix'.

I see. Thanks for the clarification.  I didn't know that our pacman set up reached into any arch archives directly.  Is extra the entire arch archive?

Yep. Just search here: https://packages.artixlinux.org/

AFAIK it's not by default. Adding non-artix repos to pacman configuration is user's job if they need it.
I don't know what you meant by "archive". "Extra" is an official arch's software repository.

Well, it looks like it is every in arch that is not part of the core.  What I meant was is extra the entire AUR?

Extra is extra, aur is aur. Please research wiki before asking. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository
