  • 20201201
  • 21.02
  • git-201
  • development

release

Integer value between 1 and 999.

Useful for telling mybld to recompile the package.

makedepends

Provides the list of package build dependencies.

run

Provides the list of working dependencies of the package.

categories

Normally detected automatically, if not, you can specify them here: 
categories=(Office Graphics Education)

set

Add the package to the specified package set(s) 
set=(gnome cinnamon)

alias

Specifies a synonymous name. The synonym must be unique, ie it cannot be called by the name of another package in the same collection.

source

Files whose names are specified in the sources array source() must be in the folder of the Pkgfile file.

Pre and post install files are not listed in this table.

Currently there are several modes:
