Zeus. A simple AUR helper which utilizes containers allowing developers and users alike to benefit from it's reproducible, clean and flexible builds. To get started with zeus follow the install instructions or build it yourself. Be sure to check out the wiki for anything else.

Installing

Currently there are 2 packages in the AUR.

• zeus - Which builds from the latest release
• zeus-bin - Which unpacks prebuilt binaries from the latest release.

Package	Version
zeus
zeus-bin

NOTE: The binaries for zeus-bin are built in Github Actions

After installing one of the 2 packages, there is one final step towards getting up and running.

Building the actual builder container.

$ zeus -B

If your user does not have access to the docker socket, you will have to run the previous command as root and subsequently every time you want to use the program.

Building

After cloning the repository, use the build target in the Makefile to build everything.

$ make build

By default the build target builds the debug version, if you wish to build the release version set BUILD_TYPE=release.

$ export BUILD_TYPE=release
$ make build

Testing local changes can be done in 2 ways.

Not installing locally

This method involves no extra steps.

Running the built binary is as simple as:

$ ./target/$BUILD_TYPE/zeus

Installing locally

Installing locally for easier testing is possible with the install target.

# make install

DESTDIR and PREFIX can be used to alter the installation.

After all this you should be able to just run zeus directly in the terminal.

$ zeus
