Emulator and fast are mutually exclusive things. |

Deno 🦕 |

Yeah that might be a great addition to the x11 repository. But the hardest part of this will be Chromium and Electron port |

Also deno seems to run some pre-built binaries for building itself see denoland/deno_third_party |

Well.. electron has problems with some custom command it tries to execute during its build process... And that too.. hardcoded... I don't think chromium would be a challenge.... We may need gn to be added to |

We already have lots of pending package requests, see https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22package+request%22. Would be interesting to know what exactly from this list you are consider useful and want to see packaged in Termux officially. P.S. Is there someone who successfully compiled OpenJDK with at least Android NDK r21? It can be compiled with old NDK but the support of currently used one is a prerequisite of making OpenJDK available. |

The Problem with openJDK currently is that it checks compiler sanity by checking its version.... Also currently openJDK supports cross compilation only with gcc |

@suhan-paradkar It successfully compiles with NDK r21 using wrappers. I'm rewriting it as P.S. Using branch buildjre16 which succeed on CI. |

@xeffyr I saw you were working on openjdk17 with a lot of commits.. wouldn't it be better if patches were applied to @termux 's fork of openJDK instead of keeping it at |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

This fork is temporary and is more like a backup since package is based on unofficial openjdk sources. Possibly that package will use the official openjdk repo in future. Note that arm and i686 variants of openjdk are broken and this is most likely fault of https://github.com/PojavLauncherTeam/android-openjdk-build-multiarch/, as I can reproduce issues (#7214, #7215) with their builds too. 64-bit variants seems working fine. |

Well.. I guess openJDK's official mobile variant for openJDK17 can be used.. where they claim they support mobile devices here |

Just FYI: disk space on our package server is finite and is not so big (we have used more than 50% of disk space). Lots of small packages are better than one big suitable for very narrow purpose. Don't forget that besides main repo there are games, root, science, unstable and x11 repositories. They all share same disk space as main repo. Check out https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#packaging-policy which clearly states:

I am using sshfs to share files between linux and the termux. Its bit flaky mostly because wifi on chromebook is very choppy. Would be great some other file sharing tool that works over intermittent connections. |

croc wont fit the bill, however seems like nice tool to know about. I want to expose termux files as part of filesystem on remote machine for which sshfs or samba service is suited. I tried sshfs but its flaky. Not sure if its possible to build samba on termux. |

Termux official repository is not a place for collecting random stuff from the whole Internet. https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#packaging-policy Scripts doesn't require compilation, just download from repo and use it. Why need package? |

So I don't have to remember manually looking for updates. But thank you anyway. |

gentoo's portage package manager. so that all termux-packages could be easily merged/updated from source code to termux directly from termux without cross compile on PC first. it's not a single package, since it depend on other packages. gentoo is already a proot-distro release, and current mobile phone is powerful enough to do the compiling work. with the portage package manager, the C flags could be optimized for a specific soc to improve performance. for example CFLAGS="-march=armv8.2-a+crypto -mcpu=cortex-a76.cortex-a55+crypto -mtune=cortex-a76.cortex-a55". and the dependecy is well defined by runtime dependency, build time dependency and feature dependencies. fine ebuild phase with hook support, build.log wiht debug support for each package merged, slot for multiple version installation of some pacakges, such as install python3.{7,8,9,10}, while select python3.9 currently system wide phthon. gentoo portage surport prefix and gentoo prefix could co-exist smoothly with other GNU/linux. |

This looks certainly interesting, if feasible. If I understand correctly,
Instead of porting a package by package, if we somehow make existing
package manager that would be great. I just don't know the internals to
know if this is feasible especially for more close to OS system software --
postgres, samba, etc.

You're looking for proot'ed distribution. There no way to turn Termux environment into traditional distribution. Moreover, that's not it's goal. Termux is extended Linux user space environment for Android OS.

Currently, termux sits well perfectly in my workflow. I have some
requirements for other packages/enviorments (including samba) that I am
exploring. Was interested in that regard.
Will look into the alternatives as well. Thanks for those too.

postgres is available as postgresql package.
samba is present in unstable repo.

Termux has got 1300+ packages and is still growing. There may be many projects which are cool, useful as well as fun to have, and which we may have missed adding here. If you have got a awesome package you are in need of or something cool you created. Make sure you share it with the Termux users too
Heres the criteria for commenting and asking for a package here:
