+makepkg.conf - makepkg configuration file
+
+
+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.
+
+*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
+-------
+*FTPAGENT="*'/path/to/command [options]'*"*::
+	Sets the download agent used to fetch source files specified with a URL
+	in the manlink:PKGBUILD[5] file. Flags can be specified as well; the
+	download URL is then placed on the end of the command.
+
+*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.
+
+*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'*)*::
+	This array contains four 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.
+
+*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 four 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.
