makerepropkg(1) ================ Name ---- makerepropkg - Rebuild a package to see if it is reproducible Synopsis -------- makerepropkg [OPTIONS] <package_file>... Description ----------- Given the path to a built pacman package(s), attempt to rebuild it using the PKGBUILD in the current directory. The package will be built in an environment as closely matching the environment of the initial package as possible, by building up a chroot to match the information exposed in the package's linkman:BUILDINFO[5] manifest. On success, the resulting package will be compared to the input package, and makerepropkg will report whether the artifacts are identical. When given multiple packages, additional package files are assumed to be split packages and will be treated as additional artifacts to compare during the verification step. This implements a verifier for pacman/libalpm packages in accordance with the link:https://reproducible-builds.org/[Reproducible Builds] project. Options ------- *-d*:: If packages are not reproducible, compare them using diffoscope. *-c*:: Set the pacman cache directory. *-M* <file>:: Location of a makepkg config file. *-h*:: Show this usage message include::footer.asciidoc[]
