💅 abump(1) — General Commands Manual 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to abump(1) — the little glow-up fairy for your APKBUILD file ✨ (yes this is a General Commands Manual, and yes it's about to be your new fave)

✨ NAME ✨

abump — literally bumps the pkgver in an APKBUILD file 👑 no cap, that's the whole vibe

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

abump [-s CVE-1,...] [-m MESSAGE] [-f ISSUE] [-p REMOTE] [-b|--branch]
      [-k|--keep] [-r|--rootbld] PKGNAME-1.2.3

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea, bestie: abump updates the pkgver in an APKBUILD file, refreshes its checksums, rebuilds it, and finally slides a brand-new commit into existence with all those changes in it. It's giving full-package-makeover 💅

And like — how does it even find your package? abump goes looking for the package you specified in all the nested directories inside the current working directory, assuming a layout like that of the aports repository. So yes, run it from the right spot. Vibe check your pwd first, fr fr 🫶

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -s, --security CVE1,... — include the CVE in the secfixes comment section 🛡️ drop those CVE IDs in and they get slotted right in.
  • -m, --message MESSAGE — put the given MESSAGE into the body of the commit message ✍️ say what you gotta say.
  • -f, --fixes ISSUE — add Fixes #ISSUE to the commit message 🔥 heads up: this will close the upstream issue when the commit gets merged into the aports master branch. so good. so powerful.
  • -p, --push REMOTE — push the commit and the resulting changes to the REMOTE you picked (e.g. origin) 🚀 send it.
  • -b, --branch — create a git branch from HEAD before normal operation 🌿 safety branch, main character move.
  • -k, --keep — keep existing packages 🧺 don't toss 'em.
  • -r, --rootbld — build the package in a clean chroot using abuild rootbld instead of abuild all 🧼 squeaky clean build energy.
  • -h, --help — print help information and exit 🫶 always there for you.

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

  • APORTSDIR — force operating on an alternate directory 📁 (yes, you can point it somewhere else. no, don't make it weird.)
