Getting git or svn sources for use with slkbuild

If the source only exists in a git or svn repository, then you will have to create a source tarball yourselves and upload it somewhere. You have to add the created source tarballs to the source variable in the SLKBUILD file. Also make sure that you upload the source tarball to your sourcetemplate location. Example:

source=("http://some-domain.org/packages/xap/$pkgname/$pkgname-$pkgver.src.tar.gz")

git

This script gets latest git sources, creates a source tarball named after the current date and updates the $pkgver variable in the SLKBUILD file.

#!/bin/bash
pkgname=amarok

# set pkgver to current date
pkgver=$(date +%Y%m%d)
if [ -d $pkgname ]; then
	(
	cd $pkgname
	git pull --depth 1
	)
else
	git clone --depth 1 git://gitorious.org/amarok/amarok.git
fi

# create the source archive
tar czf $pkgname-$pkgver.src.tar.gz amarok

# change the SLKBUILD
sed -i 's#^pkgver=.*#pkgver='$pkgver'#' SLKBUILD

svn

This script gets latest svn sources, creates a source tarball named after the svn revision and updates the $pkgver variable in the SLKBUILD file. It also can retrieve a svn revision specified on command line:

#!/bin/bash
pkgname=taglib

# retrieve revision given on command line - else latest revision
svn_rev=${1:-""}
# svn url
svn_dir=${pkgname}
svn_url=svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/kdesupport/${svn_dir}

# let's rock!
svn_cmd=" co"
# if revision is set by command line, then get this revision
[ ! -z $svn_rev ] && svn_cmd="$svn_cmd -r $svn_rev"
# set pkgver to the downloaded revision
cur_rev=$(svn $svn_cmd $svn_url $svn_dir 2>svn_err.log | tail -1 |tr -c -d "[:digit:]")
pkgver="r${cur_rev}"

# create the source archive
tar czf $pkgname-$pkgver.src.tar.gz $svn_dir

# change the SLKBUILD
sed -i 's#^pkgver=.*#pkgver='$pkgver'#' SLKBUILD
