lfs.ports

What is this ?

Ports package build collection for LFS / linux distro in general. It is a collection of recipe to build package. Using Makefile and bsd.port.mk-like (I call it as lfs.port.mk). If you are familiar with ports from openbsd & freebsd, you would easily recognize it. There are 8 build types, make, cmake, meson, bmake, muon, cargo, zig and custom.

How to use it ?

You could easily use it, but before that, you should have these requirements :

The requirements.

wget, to download source code. You could change it with your tool downloader.
build tools, like compiler (I use gcc mainly), make, meson, cmake, bmake, muon and zig.
tar, to create tar.gz package archive.
graft, to do grafting.
text editor.
patch, to do patching (if needed).

After you have those requirements, let is build our package !

The build instructions.

Copy lfs.port.mk & strip.mk to /usr/share/mk directory !
Pick a template package, for example iceauth.
Run these commands :
```
$ make download
$ make extract
$ make prepare
$ make build
$ make package
```
Explanation :
- make download, download source code.
- make extract, extract source code.
- make prepare, prepare build, like patching (if needed), edit the source code, etc.
- make build, build package.
- make package, create tar.gz package.
Once the package is created, we can install it using mk package manager.
```
$ sudo /path/to/mk a P=1 PKG=iceauth-1.0.10-0@xapps.tar.gz
```

note : For more info about mk, you could read its documentation here.
