manjaro-chrootbuild

included utilities:

• chrootbuild - Builds lists or individual packages in a chroot environment of native architecture.
  It is particularly useful for updating lists of git packages, where it compares git versions with current repo versions and updates remote package repos after building.
  When a newer pkgver is available, pkgrel will automatically be reset to 1.
  While building lists, build logs will be written to separate log files for each package.
  Errors will be collected and a summary displayed at the end with links to the relevant log files.
  A log of built packages with timestamps is written to a file build_log in makepkg's LOGDEST if defined, or in $USER_HOME/.chrootbuild-logs/). Local packages can be installed into the chroot filesystem before building. Combined jobs of building packages and list are also possible, where built packages can be installed into the chroot filesystem before subsequent building of other packages and lists. $validpgpkeys specified in a PKGBUILD will be received automatically before bulding the package.

Usage: chrootbuild [options]
     -b <branch> Branch to use (unstable/testing/stable;
                                arm-unstable/arm-testing/arm-stable)
                                default: unstable / arm-unstable)
     -c          Start with clean chroot fs
     -d          Disable colors (for better browser display)
     -D          Build additional debug package
     -f          Force unmount chroot if busy
     -g          Push changes to git when building lists
     -G          Generate Checksums
     -h          Display help
     -H          Use the host's keyring
     -i <pkg>    Install local package (specify full path!)
     -k <repo>   Use custom repo (mobile/kde-unstable)
     -l <list>   List to build
     -L          Enable LinkTimeOptimization
     -m          Build a multilib package
     -M <url>    Use custom mirror
     -n          Install built pkg to chroot fs (default when building lists)
     -p <pkg>    Package to build
     -r          Use custom chrootdir path
                 default: /var/lib/chrootbuild
     -s          Sign package(s)
     -u          Build pkgs only if newer than repo (lists only)
     -x          Remove previously built packages in $PKGDEST

NOTE: For multiple lists or packages repeat the respective flag. Example sudo chrootbuild -csrl list-1 -l list-2 or sudo chrootbuild -sp pkg-1 -p pkg-2.

• sign_pkgs - Signs all packages in the current directory with the gpg key configured for makepkg.

• cb_monitor - To see the build progress of lists in realtime you can run cb_monitor in a separate terminal window or console.

• prepare_chroot - Install chroot filesystem and update with defined branch.

Usage: prepare_chroot [options]"
     -b <branch> Branch to use (unstable/testing/stable;
                                arm-unstable/arm-testing/arm-stable)
                                default: unstable / arm-unstable)
     -c          Create clean chroot filesystem
     -f          Force unmount chroot if busy
     -h          Display help.
     -H          Use the host's keyring
     -k <repo>   Use custom repo (kde-unstable/mobile)
     -m          Keep Chroot filesystem mounted
     -M <url>    Use custom mirror
     -u          Unmount Chroot filesystem cleanly

---

Note:

Host package cache is used by default.
PKGDEST and GPGKEY are read from host's /etc/makepkg.conf and/or (with precedence) the user's ~/.makepkg.conf
If PKGDEST isn't defined, package(s) will be moved to the current work directory.
<package> names may be used with trailing slashes.
<list>s must be present in the work directory as <list>.list together with a directory named <list>, containing all PKGBUILD-repos specified in <list>.list.
Commenting list entries with # is supported.
To rebuild listed packages with pkgver identical with repo version just bump pkgrel.

todo:

• add option to build complete lists, regardless of repo version
