archlinux-s390x/scripts/bootstrap-pacman.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Bootstrap the Arch packaging toolchain (pacman, makepkg, repo-add) on an
# s390x host, then build official Arch PKGBUILDs for s390x.
#
# WHY THIS IS THE KEYSTONE
#
# The README lists "pacman, bash and GNU coreutils are not yet ported" as three
# missing pieces. They are not three tasks -- pacman is the only one that
# matters, because pacman's source tree also ships makepkg and repo-add. Once
# those three run, every remaining package stops being hand-work and becomes
# `makepkg` on the upstream PKGBUILD.
#
# NO CROSS-COMPILATION IS NEEDED HERE. This runs on native s390x hardware, so
# the whole userspace builds at full speed with the host toolchain. That drops
# the z/VM round-trip the other scripts need.
