PKGCTL-BUILD(1) PKGCTL-BUILD(1) NAME pkgctl-build - Build packages inside a clean chroot SYNOPSIS pkgctl build [OPTIONS] [PATH...] DESCRIPTION Build packages in clean chroot environment, offering various options and functionalities to customize the package building process. By default, chroot environments are located in /var/lib/archbuild/. BUILD OPTIONS --arch ARCH Specify architectures to build for (disables auto-detection) --repo REPO Specify target repository for new packages not in any official repo. Fallback to 'extra' when building packages that are not present in any official repository yet. Using this option is disallowed if the package is already released, as it would circumvent the auto-detection safeguard. -s, --staging Build against the staging counterpart of the auto-detected repo -t, --testing Build against the testing counterpart of the auto-detected repo -o, --offload Build on a remote server and transfer artifacts afterwards -c, --clean Recreate the chroot before building --inspect WHEN Spawn an interactive shell to inspect the chroot after building. Useful to ease the debugging of a package build. Possible values for WHEN are 'never', 'always' or 'failure' -w, --worker SLOT Name of the worker slot, useful for concurrent builds. By default the slot is automatically assigned to the current tty pts number. In case the caller is not a tty, choose a random slot between 1 and number of available processing units. --nocheck Do not run the check() function in the PKGBUILD INSTALL OPTIONS -I, --install-to-chroot FILE Install a package to the working copy of the chroot -i, --install-to-host MODE Install the built packages to the host system. Useful when one wants to verify that the package works as intended. o When MODE is all, this installs all built packages o When MODE is auto, this installs all built packages which are currently installed PKGBUILD OPTIONS --pkgver=PKGVER Set pkgver, reset pkgrel and update checksums --pkgrel=PKGREL Set pkgrel to a given value --rebuild Increment the current pkgrel variable --update-checksums Force computation and update of the checksums by disabling auto-detection. Should only be used in special circumstances, like when adding new patch files to the source array. During regular packaging operations, checksums are either automatically updated when upgrading a package using --pkgver or should remain immutable during rebuilds. -e, --edit Edit the PKGBUILD before building RELEASE OPTIONS -r, --release Automatically commit, tag and release after building Specifying this option is required when using any of the following options in this section -m, --message MSG Use the given as the commit message -u, --db-update Automatically update the pacman database as last action OPTIONS -h, --help Show a help text SEE ALSO pkgctl-release(1) pkgctl-db-update(1) HOMEPAGE Please report bugs and feature requests in the issue tracker.
