Setting this variable will make xbps-src use an alternative mirror for
remote repositories.
Using this variable one can change the remote repository for all
architectures in a single setting and without the need to modify
`etc/xbps.d/repos-remote*.conf`. This is much more convenient as it
allows changing remote repos without a dirty worktree.
To use just add a line like the following to `etc/conf`:
XBPS_MIRROR=https://repo-us.voidlinux.org/current
We also disable 00-repository-main.conf for cross so we don't use the
remote repo from the xbps package.
Some packages have rather long test suites, with an option for a shorter
one. With this option, one can choose between shorter tests (-Q) or the
complete longer ones (-K).
This also allows CI to run only the shorter testsuites.
Make the appropriate changes to etc/default.conf and Manual.md as well.
The new behavior is basically this:
1) Local repos are installed same as before.
2) Multilib configs are now handled only if they exist. They follow
a naming system repos-{local,remote}-ARCH-multilib.conf.
3) Remote repo files follow naming repos-remote-ARCH.conf. If that
does not exist, repos-remote.conf or repos-remote-musl.conf is
used instead (fallback).
4) Cross follows the same behavior, just without multilib.

This patchset contains multiple changes to xbps-src and
its required package "base-chroot" for building packages
via chroot.
- moved xbps.d(5) conf files to `etc/xbps.d`.
- renamed xbps.d(5) repository files to `etc/xbps.d/repos-{local,remote}*`.
- do not set `--repository` to any xbps command that supports it,
xbps-src now simply populates `rootdir/etc/xbps.d` with correct
settings (taking care of CHROOT_READY/IN_CHROOT).
- Unless `-C` is set (to preserve builddir/destdir/autodeps), when
entering to the chroot (if CHROOT_READY is set), xbps-src will
clean up the masterdir and then perform a system update to always
use a constant set of packages for that exact date.
- Improved some normal/error msgs.
- Includes support for `xbps>=0.58`.
- common/hooks: switch to bsdtar.
- base-chroot:
- base-chroot-musl is gone, now unified for glibc/musl.
- deps removed: gettext, mpfr, readline, texinfo, which, xz.
- deps changed: tar -> bsdtar.
Effectively this reduces dependencies in `base-chroot`, makes
it unified for musl and glibc, switches xbps-src to use `bsdtar`
rather than GNU `tar` and `xz`, gets rid of useless host dependencies
like GNU gettext, texinfo, etc.
I've been testing these changes for 1 month or so already,
I was able to build from scratch `base-system` for both native
and multiple targets, i.e `./xbps-src -a target -Nt pkg base-system`
This updates OpenJDK 8 to a newer version and brings a bunch of
changes.
Newly, it is bootstrapped with openjdk7-bootstrap, so it does not
need to download binaries. It can also cross-compile and is patched
for musl and other platforms.
We're newly using the aarch64 port repo in order to get aarch64
JIT. For non-aarch64 platforms, the codebase is the same.
The symlink for /usr/lib/jvm/openjdk is also now gone and we're
using a unified java-VERSION-VENDOR naming.
Also general template cleanup.

Ensure this comment is always up-to-date by pointing the reader to the
xbps-create manual. Default is not xbps-create's, but comes from the
gen-pkg hook.
In order to make builds more reproducible SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH was set to
the time of the last commit that touched the template. Since trying to
reproduce a build from a different revision is futile (the most obvious
reason is that the source-revisions property includes the HEAD commit
hash) and looking up the commit in question can take several seconds,
stop wasting time an just use HEAD.
Closes: #12314 [via git-merge-pr]
Add another stage 'check' between 'build' and 'install'. It is be enabled using the
variable XBPS_CHECK_PKGS=yes and disabled if unset, set to "0" or "no" in your
local etc/conf.
A new xbps-src option `-q` for `quick` will disable XBPS_CHECK_PKGS by overriding it to 0.
If enabled, `common/xbps-src/shutils/xbps-src-docheck.sh` checks for an existing
`do_check()` function in the package's template and, if it exists, calls it.
A new template variable `checkdepends` may be present and list packages required
to run the `do_check()` function. Example: `checkdepends="bc unittest-cpp"`.
The `etc/virtual` file declares the default package to be built for
virtual dependencies declared as "virtual?foo" in $depends.
Before this change, the run-time dependency was added as is to the final
binary package but no pkg providing this virtual pkg was built.
With this file we declare the *default* pkg to be built.
NOTE: "virtual?foo" is only applicable to *run* time dependencies, i.e
only those declared in $depends.
