Name a patch *.patch.ondevice for it to only be applied when building
on device.
This can be useful if for example a tool for building documentation is
missing on device, or if a tool needed during build (but not runtime)
uses something that triggers selinux, fdsan or some other android
security thing.
As replacement for TERMUX_PKG_QUICK_REBUILD. Running
./build-package.sh -c <package> starts a build for <package>, but does
not extract and patch the source from scratch. Instead it sets up the
build variables and starts from termux_step_make.
When working on a big package that can take hours to build it is
convenient to be able to build until there is an error, then apply
some new patch (manually) to the source, and then continue from where
the build failed.
This new variable is extremely useful when iterating on creating a large package,
as otherwise you have to wipe the source and rebuild each time you make a mistake
with the patches or build.sh script.
Simply set TERMUX_PKG_QUICK_REBUILD=true in build.sh if a build fails and then the
TERMUX_PKG_SRCDIR and TERMUX_PKG_BUILDDIR will not be touched when you rebuild,
including that the patches will not be applied again. When you're done iterating,
diff for any new patches, save them, and remove this variable before rebuilding
from scratch, hopefully for the last time. ;)
An example is shown for the giant libllvm package, where other modifications are
also excluded if this variable is set.
Variables
TERMUX_PKG_PLATFORM_INDEPENDENT
TERMUX_DEBUG
TERMUX_PKG_HAS_DEBUG
TERMUX_PKG_ESSENTIAL
TERMUX_SUBPKG_ESSENTIAL
TERMUX_PKG_NO_STATICSPLIT
TERMUX_PKG_BUILD_IN_SRC
TERMUX_PKG_FORCE_CMAKE
TERMUX_PKG_HOSTBUILD
should not accept arbitrary values for marking them "enabled". Instead
they should accept boolean values which makes them easier to handle and
also makes their meaning clear.
build-package.sh should make decision based on variable's value but not on
whether it is set or empty.
