Create Packages for Linux Distributions

[AndydeCleyre]

According to Repology, packages only exist for Homebrew, Linuxbrew, and Scoop -- and one of those is outdated. The BlackArch package there is for an unrelated tool.

Can the developers please contribute some packages, at least for one or two ports-like systems like Arch and Alpine, which would greatly assist others in the creation of other more-involved package types?

I haven't used armor yet, so am not familiar with -- for example -- what configuration directories and files it expects to be present. But here is a jump start for an Arch PKGBUILD:

pkgname=armor
pkgver=0.4.13
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Uncomplicated, modern HTTP server"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="https://github.com/labstack/armor"
license=('MIT')
makedepends=(go)
source=(${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz::${url}/archive/v${pkgver}.tar.gz)
sha256sums=('1e80b70c2fa245800594f3ef7b6bb14d2af4fda2a8622d3c8a0a28f9ef6c4629')

build() {
  cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}
  go build -o bin/armor cmd/armor/main.go
}

package() {
  cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}
  install -D -m755 bin/armor ${pkgdir}/usr/bin/armor
}

This at least works for the basic no-config test case.

If someone is interested in building snap package to distribute armor. I got a snapcraft.yaml template working.

For simplicity, I just dump the deb package so no compilation is required. There are still some bits missing though:

1. Not confined yet.
2. Hardcoded source package.

name: armor
version: latest
summary: Armor.
description: |
  This is armor snap
grade: devel
confinement: devmode

parts:
  armor:
    source: https://github.com/labstack/armor/releases/download/v0.4.12/armor_0.4.12_linux_64-bit.deb
    plugin: dump
    source-type: deb

apps:
  armor:
    command: /usr/local/bin/armor

And on a snapcraft enabled environment, run snapcraft will get all the bits together.
