MAKECHROOTPKG(1)

NAME
makechrootpkg - Build a PKGBUILD in a given chroot environment

SYNOPSIS

makechrootpkg [OPTIONS] -r <chrootdir> [--] [makepkg args]

DESCRIPTION

Run this script in a directory containing a PKGBUILD to build a package inside a clean chroot. Arguments passed to this script after the end-of-options marker (--) will be passed to makepkg.

The chroot dir consists of the following directories: <chrootdir>/{root, copy} but only "root" is required by default. The working copy will be created as needed

The chroot "root" directory must be created via the following command: mkarchroot <chrootdir>/root base-devel

This script reads {SRC,SRCPKG,PKG,LOG}DEST, MAKEFLAGS and PACKAGER from makepkg.conf(5), if those variables are not part of the environment.

Default makepkg args: --syncdeps --noconfirm --log --holdver --skipinteg
