python-pkgbuilder provides a library and command-line tool for building pacman packages and their dependencies in chroots.
Two directories are expected to exist before python-pkgbuilder is run:
/var/cache/pkgbuilder/var/lib/pkgbuilder
They should be writable by the user running python-pkgbuilder.
This can be achieved by:
- creating the
pkgbuildergroup - setting group ownership of the above directories to
pkgbuilder - setting the mode of the above directories to
0775 - adding the user to the
pkgbuildergroup
usage: pkgbuilder [-h] [-C PACMAN_CONFIG] [-M MAKEPKG_CONFIG] [-b BUILDDIR]
[-c CHROOTDIR] [-d PKGBUILDS] [-i] [-I] [-r REPO] [-B] [-R]
[-a]
[name [name ...]]
positional arguments:
name package name
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-C PACMAN_CONFIG, --pacman-config PACMAN_CONFIG
path to pacman config file
-M MAKEPKG_CONFIG, --makepkg-config MAKEPKG_CONFIG
path to makepkg config file
-b BUILDDIR, --builddir BUILDDIR
path to package build directory
-c CHROOTDIR, --chrootdir CHROOTDIR
path to chroot directory
-d PKGBUILDS, --pkgbuilds PKGBUILDS
path to directory of local PKGBUILDs
-i, --install install packages
-I, --reinstall reinstall packages
-r REPO, --repo REPO install package via local repo
-B, --rebuild build packages even if they exists (pass twice to
rebuild dependencies)
-R, --remove remove package build directories
-a, --aur search for packages in the AUR only
