Build Archlinux packages in rootless podman container

Why

  1. sudo is run inside container (required for makepkg). Does not affect host system
  2. Does not install unnecessary make dependencies in host system
  3. Build runs in clean environment.

Usage

  1. Remove/Replace mirror url. I run pacoloco locally at archmirror.i.balki.me
  2. Change PACKAGER setting to your name/email
  3. Add AUR dependencies in a folder deps/ (if any)

Command to build

podman build -t aur_builder:latest .

Command to run

cd /path/to/PKGBUILD_dir
podman run --rm -it -v $PWD:/w aur_builder:latest

Drop to shell before building.

podman run --rm -it -v $PWD:/w -e DEBUG_SHELL=y aur_builder:latest
