# 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](https://vlang.io/) 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](https://git.rustybever.be/Chewing_Bever/vieter-v). 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.
