Spiral repo

This is the repository that stores all of Spiral Repository package configurations, using controller. This repository contains configurations of empty packages that provides somewhat compatibility with Debiantai sources. Mainly for closed-source proprietary software that doesn't allow any redistribution.

Ex. Enpass doesn't allow redistribution, but it provides official Debiantai packages. Though AOSC OS uses DPKG+APT as well, AOSC OS and Debian sometimes don't share the same package name, so APT may not be able to find the correct dependency. In this case, AOSC OS doesn't have libxss1, which is a part of x11-lib in AOSC OS. This repository provides a empty package named libxss1 but depends on the correct package, so that we can use Enpass on AOSC OS.

How to use this repository

1. Create a file under /etc/apt/sources.list.d (the suffix must be .list, such as spiral.list):

   deb https://spiral.v2bv.net stable main
   

2. Download the GPG public key to /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/

   # wget -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ https://spiral.v2bv.net/spiral.gpg
   

3. Done!

Please do note that APT may be warning you that this repository doesn't contain any package for the architecture amd64, this is a expected behavior since all packages in this repository are noarch.

Contributing & Formatting

All configurations stored in packages directory. Configurations are in JSON format, for example, our first package, libxss1:

{
	"name": "libxss1", # Name of the package
	"deps": [
		"x11-lib" # Real dependencies in AOSC OS
	],
	"description": "included in x11-lib", # Decription
	"version": { # Way to acquire versioning information
		"method": "repology", # Acquire version from Repology
		"repology": "libxss", # Name of the package on Repology
		"distro": "debian_testing" # Follow which distro
	}
}

Some notes:

• name, and deps are required fields.
• Make sure packages listed in deps really exist.
• "Empty package for Debiantai compatibility" will be appended to the beginning of the package's description.
• If no version section defined, the controller will pick 9999 as the version
• Right now there are only two methods supported for version:
  • static:
    • A field called static is required, just put your version there :)
  • repology:
    • Just like the example above.
