A script is located in the docker directory to assist with\nthis. Always run the `clean.sh` script to clear any existing yap images.\nBuilding the images can take several hours.\n\n```sh\ncd ~/go/src/github.com/packagefoundation/yap/docker\nsh clean.sh\nsh build.sh\n```\n\n## Format\n\n```sh\nkey=\"example string\"\nkey=`example \"quoted\" string`\nkey=(\"list with one element\")\nkey=(\n \"list with\"\n \"multiple elements\"\n)\nkey=\"example ${variable} string\"\nkey__ubuntu=\"this will apply only to Ubuntu builds\"\n```\n\n## Builtin Variables\n\n| key | value |\n| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| `${srcdir}` | `Source` directory where all sources are downloaded and extracted |\n| `${pkgdir}` | `Package` directory for the root of the package |\n\n## Spec file - the PKGBUILD\n\n| key | type | value |\n| ------------------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |\n| `pkgname` | `string` | Package name |\n| `pkgver` | `string` | Package version |\n| `pkgrel` | `string` | Package release number |\n| `pkgdesc` | `string` | Short package description |\n| `maintainer` | `string` | Package maintainer |\n| `arch` | `list` | Package architecture, can be `all` or `amd64` |\n| `license` | `list` | List of licenses for packaged software |\n| `section` | `string` | Section for package.
