DEVTOOLS(7)

NAME
devtools - Developer tools for the Arch Linux distribution

DESCRIPTION

Devtools contains tools for package maintenance in Arch Linux. It comes with a unified command-line frontend called pkgctl that aids to conveniently interact with all the different tools this collection provides.

The toolset varies from tools for building packages in a clean chroot (mkarchroot, archbuild, ...), packaging related tools (sogrep, diffpkg, lddd) and tools for repository management such as (pkgrepo).
