ARCHBUILD(1)

NAME
archbuild - a script to build an Arch Linux package inside a clean chroot.

SYNOPSIS

archbuild [options] — [makechrootpkg args]

DESCRIPTION

archbuild is a script to build an Arch Linux package. archbuild is part of devtools but should only be used via one of the included symlinks:

    • extra-x86_64-build

    • gnome-unstable-x86_64-build

    • kde-unstable-x86_64-build

    • multilib-build

    • multilib-staging-build

    • multilib-testing-build

    • staging-x86_64-build

    • testing-x86_64-build

The symlink used to run it will be inspected by archbuild, to determine which target you want it to use. It will load the available pacman configuration from pacman-reponame-arch.conf with a fallback to pacman-reponame.conf from /usr/share/devtools. The makepkg configuration is loaded from makepkg-repo-arch.conf with a fallback to makepkg-reponame.conf from /usr/share/devtools.

OPTIONS

-h
    Output command line options.

-c
    Recreate the chroot before building.

-r <dir>
    Create chroots in this directory.
