06:18 <r0ni> i'm attempting to setup a pkg-get server for builds for my arm machine, i'm curious if crux will let me do a dir for each core/opt/xorg and having mult entries or if I have to put *all* the pkgs into a single dir in the end?

11:48 <farkuhar> r0ni: the sample pkg-get.conf indicates that multiple pkgdir entries are allowed. It shouldn't be a problem to have them all synced from the same server. As for the configuration on your build machine, you would probably have to define PKGMK_PACKAGE_DIR with a command substitution that obtains the port collection (core/opt/xorg) from the absolute path.

11:51 <r0ni> ya i'm tampering with it at the moment, couldn't get it to do anything until i found the "sync" command, now its working

11:56 <farkuhar> PKGMK_PACKAGE_DIR="$(dirname ${PWD//ports/pkgmk})" is one possibility, if you want to populate the separate directories /usr/pkgmk/{core,opt,xorg} with the built packages.

12:07 <r0ni> i've specified the base and set up urls for each set in pkg-get.conf, seems to act appropriately so far

12:45 <farkuhar> r0ni: pkg-get might act inappropriately if you need to run pre- or post-install scripts for ports with dashes in their names. See https://slackalaxy.com/2021/09/01/own-ports-and-packages-repos-for-crux/ for a workaround.

12:46 <farkuhar> Line 213 of pkg-repgen.pl might need rethinking, in light of this bug report by ppetrov^.

13:05 <farkuhar> Also in need of revision is the interaction between runscripts and an installation target other than "/". What emmett1 reported last month regarding prt-get, looks applicable to the corresponding implementation in pkg-get.

18:12 <r0ni> farkuhar: oh I was using that page for reference, I'll make sure I change that, as I had skipped over it initially

22:26 <farkuhar> Actually, line 213 of pkg-repgen.pl is the natural consequence of trying to come up with a 1-1 map between port names and shell script functions (bash imposes more restrictions on the latter, when it comes to valid characters). But *arguments* passed to a bash function are not limited in the same way. I'll work on a patch for pkg-repgen.pl, to fix the issue that ppetrov^ observed.
