Vieter
Documentation
I host documentation for Vieter over at https://rustybever.be/docs/vieter/. API documentation for the current codebase can be found at https://rustybever.be/api-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.
Compiler
Vieter compiles with the standard Vlang compiler. However, I do maintain a mirror. This is to ensure my CI does not break without reason, as I control when & how frequently the mirror is updated to reflect the official repository.
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:
- An installation of V
- gc
- libarchive
- openssl
NOTE: if you encounter any issues compiling Vieter using the absolute
latest version of V, it might be because my mirror is missing a specific commit
that causes issues. For this reason, the make v
command exists which will
clone my compiler in the v
directory & build it. Afterwards, you can use this
compiler with make by prepending all make commands with V_PATH=v/v
. If you do
encounter this issue, please let me know so I can update my mirror & the
codebase to fix it!
Contributing
If you wish to contribute to the project, please take note of the following:
- Rebase instead of merging whenever possible, e.g. when updating your branch with the dev branch.
- Please follow the Conventional Commits style for your commit messages.
