Vieter
Documentation
I host documentation for Vieter over at https://rustybever.be/docs/vieter/.
Overview
Vieter is a restart of the Pieter project. The goal is to create a simple, lightweight self-hostable Arch repository server, paired with a system that periodically builds & publishes select Arch packages. This would allow me to build AUR packages (or PKGBUILDs I created myself) "in the cloud" & make sure I never have to compile anything on my own systems, making my updates a lot quicker.
Why V?
I chose V as I've been very intrigued by this language for a while now. I wanted a fast language that I could code while relaxing, without having to exert too much mental effort & V seemed like the right choice for that.
Custom Compiler
Currently, this program only works with a very slightly modified version of the
V standard library, and therefore the compiler. The source code for this fork
can be found here. You can
obtain this modified version of the compiler by running make v
, which will
clone & build the compiler. Afterwards, all make commands that require the V
compiler will use this new binary. I try to keep this fork as up to date with
upstream as possible.
Features
- Arch repository server
- Support for multiple repositories & multiple architectures
- Endpoints for publishing new packages
- API for managing repositories to build
- Build system
- Periodic rebuilding of packages
- Prevent unnecessary rebuilds
Building
In order to build Vieter, you'll need a couple of libraries:
- gc
- libarchive
- openssl
Before building Vieter, you'll have to build the compiler using make v
.
Afterwards, run make
to build the debug binary.
