git clone git://github.com/milkypostman/melpa.git
git sm init
git sm update
## Scripts
* `buildpkg` -- Create an archive of the package(s) passed as
arguments to the script. Built packages are put in the `packages/`
folder with version corresponding to the newest HEAD revision
available; given according to the `%Y%m%d` format.
* `melpa` -- All the logic for generating everything in
the repository based on the `pkglist` file. By default this will
update the [epkgs] repository, build all packages listed in `pkglist` ,
compile the `index.html` file for the [melpa] website front page, and
sync with the site.
The following arguments are accepted,
update
: update the epkgs repository
clear
: clean out the `packages/` directory
build
: build all packages in `pkglist`
index
: build the `index.html` file
sync
: sync built files with the repository

## Code
The `package-build.el` file contains all the heavy lifting. The
scripts above call the `package-build-archive` function from the
command-line to actually build the package(s).
Alternatively you can
load this file from within Emacs and issues commands from there.
## Adding Packages
Feel free to open an Issue requesting packages and I'll see if they
build nicely.
## Developement
Fork away! Send me some pull requests.
### Notes
Packages end up in the `packages/` directory by default.
This can be configured using the `package-build-archive-dir` variable.
Repositories are checked out to the `working/` directory by default.
This can be configured using the `package-build-working-dir` variable.
2011-10-05 05:49:38 +00:00
All metadata for building the packages is based off the git submodule
for the [`epkgs`][epkgs] repository generated by the
2011-12-14 03:04:08 +00:00
[emacsmirror][emacsmirror]. *However,* currently the site is not
keeping up-to-date so I have [mirrored the site][mepkgs].
