[tracking] Working with repos other than abyss-packages (partialy supported currently) #62

mobinmob commented 2025年12月25日 17:17:22 +01:00

xut already supports using multiple unofficial repos, but has some significant limitations. This an issue to track the work to expand this support, document what works and what does not and collect compatible repos.

The repos are added in the xutconf configuration file, using the additionalRepos list.

What is currently supported:

• Repositories that have the template directories under / or srcpkgs/.
• Full clones of void-packages with added templates.
• Git repos that only host template directories.

What is not supported:

1. Repos with random directory structure [WONTFIX].
2. Templates that need modification to the shlibs file or repos that have this file modified [WIP #35].
3. There is no easy/user-friendly way to add repos to the xutconf configuration file.
4. There is no maintained list of third-party repos that actually work with xut.

Tracking changes:

• shlibs support [WIP #35].
• Create list of tested repos.
• Create an easy way to add repos (probably from the tested repos list).

@zenobit This is an issue to track progress for supporting more template repos.

Will add tested repos by me later...

Meanwhile I am working on:

• support custom branch for xtra repos (done)
• use different branch for merging $mergeBranch (done)
• change mergeBranch in config (TODO)
• use _cmd() (done) - looks good to me, but needs bit more testing
• auto merge changes (WIP)
• Improve search and show templates counts (WIP)
• CI #53 (done) needs polishing
  Not seen your opinion on state of PR yet
  PS: Max time for runs with codeberg hosted runner is currently only 10minutes
  solution: use self-hosted runner or use GitHub CI if we need to
  (Tried use xut as builder in vpim repo...)

TODO: support again git@repo (for ssh access of own repos)

I have devoted every second I had in testing and fixing things for the release - 0.4.2 is out, so we can proceed for ci - I need the ci for behavioral testing mainly, not necessary for building packages. I will open a tracking issue for the next "big" release and see what can be finished in it :)
I plan to break up the xut script in seperate functions in order to enable reuse and replace the use of xi.
ci is absolutelly nessesary for the next release.
