NAME
       offload-build - Build a PKGBUILD on a remote server using makechrootpkg

SYNOPSIS
       offload-build [OPTIONS] -- [ARCHBUILD_OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
       Build a PKGBUILD on a remote server using makechrootpkg. Requires a
       remote user that can run archbuild in a non-interactive manner, e.g.
       must be able to elevate permissions using passwordless sudo.

OPTIONS
       -r, --repo <reponame>
           Build against a specific repository. The default is extra, to build
           packages using the stable repositories via extra-x86_64-build.

       -a, --arch <architecture>
           Build against a specific architecture. The default is x86_64, the
           only architecture officially supported by Arch Linux.

       -s, --server <hostname>
           Offload to a specific build server. The default is
           build.archlinux.org which is used as part of the build toolchain
           for the official Arch Linux repos.

       -h, --help
           Show a help text.

PASSING OPTIONS TO ARCHBUILD
       Options after a delimiting -- are passed on to archbuild on the remote.
       archbuild in turn supports passing arguments on to makechrootpkg, which
       in turn supports passing options to makepkg. Since each uses -- to
       delimit options that are forwarded, make sure to escape them properly:

           `offload-build offload-args -- archbuild-args -- makechrootpkg-args -- makepkg-args`

       Example: To use a second testing-x86_64-build instance with another
       copydir:

           `offload-build -r testing -- -- -l <chroot_copy>`
