APKBUILD Metadata

The UI packages have additional metadata specified via custom APKBUILD variables and options.

Variables

• _pmb_groups
  • Groups to which the default user should be added to during the installation. (pmb-recommends)=
• _pmb_recommends
  • Packages to install together with the UI, which can be uninstalled by the user.
• _pmb_select
  • Let pmbootstrap init display a prompt for each package in the given list of packages to choose which provider to use for each package.
• _pmb_default
  • Define the package to display as default during a pmbootstrap init _pmb_select prompt. Without this, the package with the highest priority will list as default .
• pkgdesc
  • The same as a normal APKBUILD's pkgdesc, but it is also shown during pmbootstrap init beside the UI's name.

Options

The following can be added to the options variable:

• pmb:drm
  • Adding this to the options variable will mark the UI as requiring DRM support to function, hiding it from devices that do not support DRM on pmbootstrap init.
• pmb:default-systemd
  • Adding this to the options variable will declare systemd as the default service manager for the UI.
• pmb:support-systemd
  • Adding this to the options variable will allow selecting the UI with systemd during pmbootstrap init. Requires a pmb:default-* option.
• pmb:default-openrc
  • Adding this to the options variable will declare OpenRC as the default service manager for the UI.
• pmb:support-openrc
  • Adding this to the options variable will allow selecting the UI with OpenRC during pmbootstrap init. Requires a pmb:default-* option.
