+makepkg.conf - makepkg configuration file

+Synopsis

+{sysconfdir}/makepkg.conf, ~/.makepkg.conf
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+Configuration options for makekpg are stored in makepkg.conf. This file is
+sourced, so you can include any special compiler flags you wish to use. This is
+helpful for building for different architectures, or with different
+optimizations. However, only the variables described below are exported to the
+build environment.
+
+NOTE: This does not guarantee that all package Makefiles will use your exported
+variables. Some of them are non-standard.
+
+The default file is fairly well commented, so it may be easiest to simply
+follow directions given there for customization.
+
+
+Options
+-------
+**DLAGENTS=(**\'protocol::/path/to/command [options]' ...**)**::
+	Sets the download agents used to fetch source files specified with a URL in
+	the manlink:PKGBUILD[5] file. Options can be specified for each command as
+	well; the download URL is placed on the end of the command. This is more
+	flexible than the former `FTPAGENT` variable, as any protocol can have a
+	download agent. Several examples are provided in the default makepkg.conf.
+
+**CARCH=**"carch"::
+	Specifies your computer architecture; possible values include such things
+	as ``i686'', ``x86_64'', ``ppc'', etc. This should be automatically set on
+	installation.
+
+**CHOST=**"chost"::
+	A string such as ``i686-pc-linux-gnu'', do not touch unless you know what
+	you are doing. This can be commented out by most users if desired.
+
+**CFLAGS=**"cflags"::
+	Flags used for the C compiler. This is a key part to the use of makepkg.
+	Usually several options are specified, and the most common string resembles
+	something like this: ``-march=i686 -O2 -pipe''. Another useful option may
+	be `-mcpu` in place of `-march`. Read gcc(1) for more details on the wide
+	variety of compiler flags available.
+
+**CXXFLAGS=**"cxxflags"::
+	Flags used for the C++ compiler; see CFLAGS for more info.
+
+**MAKEFLAGS=**"makeflags"::
+	This is often used to set the number of jobs used, for example, `-j2`.
+	Other flags that make accepts can also be passed.
+
+**BUILDENV=(**fakeroot !distcc color !ccache !xdelta**)**::
+	This array contains options that affect the build environment, the defaults
+	are shown here. All options should always be left in the array; to enable
+	or disable an option simply remove or place an ``!'' at the front of the
+	option. Each works as follows:
+
+	*fakeroot*;;
+		Allow building packages as a non-root user. This is highly recommended.
+
+	*distcc*;;
+		Use the distributed C/C++/ObjC compiler to spread compilation among
+		multiple machines. If this is enabled, `DISTCC_HOSTS` must be specified
+		as well.
+
+	*color*;;
+		Colorize output messages, making output easier to read.
+
+	*ccache*;;
+		Use ccache to cache compilation by default. This allows for faster
+		compiles if you are continuously recompiling the same packages. It can
+		be disabled for individual packages by placing `!ccache` in the
+		PKGBUILD options array.
+
+	*xdelta*;;
+		Generate an xdelta binary patch from previous to current package. The
+		previous package must be available in the makepkg cache directory for
+		this to occur.
+
+**DISTCC_HOSTS=**"host1 ..."::
+	If using DistCC, this is used to specify a space-delimited list of hosts
+	running in the DistCC cluster. In addition, you will want to modify your
+	`MAKEFLAGS`.
+
+**OPTIONS=(**strip !docs libtool emptydirs**)**::
+	This array contains options that affect the default packaging. All four are
+	equivalent to options that can be placed in the PKGBUILD; the defaults are
+	shown here. All options should always be left in the array; to enable or
+	disable an option simply remove or place an ``!'' at the front of the
+	option. Each works as follows:
+
+	*strip*;;
+		Strip symbols from binaries and libraries. If you frequently use a
+		debugger on programs or libraries, it may be helpful to disable this
+		option.
+
+	*docs*;;
+		Save doc and info directories. If you wish to delete doc and info
+		directories, specify `!docs' in the array.
+
+	*libtool*;;
+		Leave libtool (.la) files in packages. Specify `!libtool' to remove
+		them.
+
+	*emptydirs*;;
+		Leave empty directories in packages.
+
+**INTEGRITY_CHECK=(**check1 ...**)**::
+	File integrity checks to use. Multiple checks may be specified; this
+	affects both generation and checking. The current valid options are:
+	`md5`, `sha1`, `sha256`, `sha384`, and `sha512`.
+
+**DOC_DIRS=(**usr/{,share/}{info,doc} ...**)**::
+	If "!docs" is specified in the OPTIONS array, this variable will
+	instruct makepkg where to look to remove docs. If you build packages
+	that are located in opt/, you may need to add the directory to this
+	array. *NOTE:* Do not add the leading slash to the directory name.
+
+**PKGDEST=**"/path/to/folder"::
+	If this value is not set, packages will by default be placed in the
+	current directory (location of the manlink:PKGBUILD[5]). Many people
+	like to keep all their packages in one place so this option allows
+	this behavior. A common location is ``/home/packages''.
+
+**SRCDEST=**"/path/to/folder"::
+	If this value is not set, downloaded source files will only be stored
+	in the current directory. Many people like to keep all source files in
+	a central location for easy cleanup, so this path can be set here.
+
+**PACKAGER=**"John Doe <john@doe.com>"::
+	This value is used when querying a package to see who was the builder.
+	It is recommended you change this to your name and email address.
+
+*BUILDSCRIPT*, *PKGEXT*, *SRCEXT*, *DB_COMPRESSION*, *DB_CHECKSUMS*::
+	Do not touch these unless you know what you are doing.
