DarkForge Package Repository

124 package definitions for the complete DarkForge Linux system. Each package is a TOML file describing how to download, build, and install a piece of software.

This is a standalone repository used as a git submodule by the main DarkForge project. It contains only package definitions (TOML files) — no build scripts or binaries.

Standalone repo: git@git.dannyhaslund.dk:danny8632/repos.git

Package Format

Each package lives in <repo>/<name>/<name>.toml. See the dpack README for the full format specification.

Example (core/zlib/zlib.toml):

[package]
name = "zlib"
version = "1.3.1"
description = "Compression library implementing the deflate algorithm"
url = "https://zlib.net/"
license = "zlib"

[source]
url = "https://zlib.net/zlib-${version}.tar.xz"
sha256 = "38ef96b8dfe510d42707d9c781877914792541133e1870841463bfa73f883e32"

[dependencies]
run = []
build = ["gcc", "make"]

[build]
configure = "./configure --prefix=/usr"
make = "make"
install = "make DESTDIR=${PKG} install"

Adding a New Package

1. Create the directory: mkdir -p <repo>/<name>
2. Create the definition: <repo>/<name>/<name>.toml
3. Fill in all sections: [package], [source], [dependencies], [build]
4. Compute the SHA256: sha256sum <tarball>
5. Test: dpack install <name>

Alternatively, convert from CRUX or Gentoo:

dpack convert /path/to/Pkgfile -o repos/core/foo/foo.toml
dpack convert /path/to/foo-1.0.ebuild -o repos/extra/foo/foo.toml

SHA256 Checksums

Most package definitions currently have placeholder checksums (aaa...). These must be populated with real checksums before building. To compute them:

for pkg in core/*/; do
    name=$(basename "$pkg")
    url=$(grep '^url = ' "$pkg/${name}.toml" | head -1 | sed 's/url = "//;s/"$//' | sed "s/\${version}/$(grep '^version' "$pkg/${name}.toml" | head -1 | sed 's/version = "//;s/"$//')/")
    echo "Downloading $name from $url..."
    wget -q "$url" -O "/tmp/${name}.tar" && sha256sum "/tmp/${name}.tar"
done
