Source package names may only consist of +lowercase Latin letters, digits, plus and minus signs, and periods. Names must +be at least two characters long and must start with either a letter or a digit. +(A regular expression for this is `[a-z0-9][a-z0-9+.-]+`.) + +`version` is the source package version. See $[sectlink][src-ver] for the +syntax of source package version identifiers. + +`distributions` is a list of distributions into which the package should be +installed when uploaded to the package archive. The list consists of one or +more distribution names, separated by spaces. + +`maintainer` is the name and e-mail address of the package maintainer. This +field must follow the syntax of the `mailbox` symbol of RFC 5322 section 3.4. + +`date` is the date of packaging. This field must follow the syntax of the +`date-time` symbol of RFC 5322 section 3.3. + + +Platform Configuration File Lists [platconf] +============================================ + +Platform-specific configuration files used by the source package at build time +shall be listed in the `platconf` file. Platform-specific configuration files +used by the binary package(s) at run time shall be listed in the +`<binpkg>.pkg/platconf` file. + +Source packages with a `platconf` file, a `<binpkg>.pkg/platconf` file, or both +shall list in their build-time dependencies a package (real or virtual) that +provides the listed platform-specific configuration files. + +Each configuration file must be described with an entry of the following format: + + source destination + +`source` is the path to the file, relative to the platform configuration +directory -- either `/usr/share/config/PLATFORM/PACKAGE-VERSION` or +`/usr/share/config/PLATFORM/PACKAGE`, where `PLATFORM` is the architecture +string denoting an application platform, `PACKAGE` is the name of the +configurable source package, and `VERSION` is the upstream version of the +configurable source package. + +`destination` is the path (file or directory) to which the file should be +copied. For a file used at build time, it is a path relative to the package +building work area. For a file used at run time, it is an absolute path in the +user's filesystem hierarchy. + + +Source Package Version Identifier [src-ver] +=========================================== + +In general, the syntax of source package version identifiers is: + + <pkgver>[+sip<siprev>][-<pkgrev>][+<dist>-<distrev>] + +`<pkgver>` is the version of the original upstream package or the native +package. It may only consist of lowercase Latin letters, digits, periods, and +tildes. It must be at least one character long. (A regular expression for this +is `[0-9a-z.~]+`.) + +If the upstream source archive needs to be repacked with certain changes for +compliance with the Software Inclusion Policy, the string `+sip<siprev>` must be +appended to `<pkgver>`. `<siprev>` is a number that should be incremented on +each repack while `<pkgver>` remains constant. It should be reset to `1` for +the first repack of a new upstream source archive. It must be a string of one +or more digits, the first of which must be greater than or equal to `1`. (A +regular expression for this is `[1-9][0-9]*`.) + +`<pkgrev>` is the version of the distribution packaging. It is optional and +should be omitted for native packages. It should be incremented on each +revision of packaging while `<pkgver>` and `<siprev>` remain constant. It +should be reset to `1` for the first revision of packaging for a new upstream +package version or source archive repack. It must be a string of one or more +digits, the first of which must be greater than or equal to `1`. (A regular +expression for this is `[1-9][0-9]*`.) + +If the package is to be installed into a distribution other than `trunk`, the +string `+<dist>-<distrev>` must be appended to the end of the version +identifier. `<dist>` is the distribution into which the package is to be +installed, may only consist of lowercase Latin letters and digits, and must be +at least one character long. (A regular expression for this is `[a-z0-9]+`.) +`<distrev>` is a number that should be incremented on each upload to `<dist>` +while `<pkgver>`, `<siprev>`, and `<pkgrev>` remain constant. It should be +reset to `1` for the first upload to `<dist>` of a new upstream package version, +source archive repack, or distribution packaging revision. It must be a string +of one or more digits, the first of which must be greater than or equal to `1`. +(A regular expression for this is `[1-9][0-9]*`.) |
