Name

makepkg - package build utility
Synopsis
--------
'makepkg' [options] [ENVVAR=value] [ENVVAR+=value] ...
Description
-----------
'makepkg' is a script to automate the building of packages. The requirements for
using the script are a build-capable *nix platform and a custom build script
for each package you wish to build (known as a PKGBUILD). See
linkman:PKGBUILD[5] for details on creating your own build scripts.
The advantage to a script-based build is that the work is only done once. Once
you have the build script for a package, 'makepkg' will do the rest: download and
validate source files, check dependencies, configure the build-time settings,
build the package, install the package into a temporary root, make
customizations, generate meta-info, and package the whole thing up for pacman
to use.
NOTE: 'makepkg' uses your current locale by default and does not unset it when
building packages. If you wish to share your build output with others when
seeking help or for other purposes, you may wish to run "`LC_ALL=C makepkg`" so
your logs and output are not localized.
Options
-------
*-A, \--ignorearch*::
Ignore a missing or incomplete arch field in the build script. This is
for rebuilding packages from source when the PKGBUILD may be slightly
outdated and not updated with an `arch=('yourarch')` field.
*-c, \--clean*::
Clean up leftover work files and directories after a successful build.
*\--config* <file>::
Use an alternate configuration file instead of the +{sysconfdir}/makepkg.conf+
default.
*-d, \--nodeps*::
Do not perform any dependency checks. This will let you override and
ignore any dependencies required. There is a good chance this option
will break the build process if all of the dependencies are not
installed.
*-e, \--noextract*::
Do not extract source files or run the prepare() function (if present);
use whatever source already exists in the $srcdir/ directory. This is
handy if you want to go into $srcdir/ and manually patch or tweak code,
then make a package out of the result. Keep in mind that creating a
patch may be a better solution to allow others to use your PKGBUILD.
*\--verifysource*::
For each source file in the source array of PKGBUILD, download the file
if required and perform the integrity checks. No extraction or build is
performed. Dependencies specified in the PKGBUILD will not be handled
unless `--syncdeps` is used. Useful for performing subsequent offline
builds.
*-f, \--force*::
makepkg will not build a package if a built package already exists in
the `PKGDEST` (set in linkman:makepkg.conf[5]) directory, which may
default to the current directory. This allows the built package to be
overwritten.
*-g, \--geninteg*::
For each source file in the source array of PKGBUILD, download the file
if required and generate integrity checks. The integrity checks generated
are determined by the checks present in the PKGBUILD, falling back to the
value of the INTEGRITY_CHECK array in makepkg.conf(5) if these are absent
This output can be redirected into your PKGBUILD for source validation
using "`makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD`".
*--skipinteg*::
Do not perform any integrity checks (checksum and PGP) on source files.
*\--skipchecksums*::
Do not verify checksums of source files.
*\--skippgpcheck*::
Do not verify PGP signatures of source files.
*-h, \--help*::
Output syntax and command line options.
*--holdver*::
When using VCS sources (linkman:PKGBUILD[5]) any currently checked out source
will not be updated to the latest revision.
*-i, \--install*::
Install or upgrade the package after a successful build using
linkman:pacman[8].
*-L, \--log*::
Enable logging. This will use the *tee* program to send the output of each
of the PKGBUILD functions to both the console and to a text file in the
build directory named `pkgbase-pkgver-pkgrel-arch-<function>.log`.
As mentioned above, the logs will be localized so you may want to set your
locale accordingly if sharing the log output with others.
*-m, \--nocolor*::
Disable color in output messages.
*-o, \--nobuild*::
Download and extract files, run the prepare() function, but do not build
them. Useful with the '\--noextract' option if you wish to tweak the files
in $srcdir/ before building.
*-p* <buildscript>::
Read the package script `buildscript` instead of the `PKGBUILD` default;
see linkman:PKGBUILD[5]. The `buildscript` must be located in the directory
makepkg is called from.
*-r, \--rmdeps*::
Upon successful build, remove any dependencies installed by makepkg
during dependency auto-resolution and installation when using `-s`.
*-R, \--repackage*::
Repackage contents of the package without rebuilding the package. This
is useful if you forgot, for example, a dependency or install file in your
PKGBUILD and the build itself will not change.
*-s, \--syncdeps*::
Install missing dependencies using pacman. When build-time or run-time
dependencies are not found, pacman will try to resolve them. If
successful, the missing packages will be downloaded and installed.
*-S, \--source*::
Do not actually build the package, but build a source-only tarball that
does not include sources that can be fetched via a download URL. This is
useful for passing a single tarball to another program such as a chroot,
remote builder, or a tarball upload. Because integrity checks are verified,
all source files of the package need to be present or downloadable.
*-V, \--version*::
Display version information.
*-C, \--cleanbuild*::
Remove the $srcdir before building the package.
*\--allsource*::
Do not actually build the package, but build a source-only tarball that
includes all sources, including those that are normally downloaded via
makepkg. This is useful for passing a single tarball to another program
such as a chroot or remote builder. It will also satisfy requirements of
the GPL when distributing binary packages.
*\--check*::
Run the check() function in the PKGBUILD, overriding the setting in
linkman:makepkg.conf[5].
*\--noarchive*::
Do not create the archive at the end of the build process. This can be
useful to test the package() function or if your target distribution does
not use pacman.
*\--nocheck*::
Do not run the check() function in the PKGBUILD or handle the checkdepends.
*\--noprepare*::
Do not run the prepare() function in the PKGBUILD.
*\--sign*::
Sign the resulting package with gpg, overriding the setting in
linkman:makepkg.conf[5].
*\--nosign*::
Do not create a signature for the built package.
*\--key* <key>::
Specify a key to use when signing packages, overriding the GPGKEY setting
in linkman:makepkg.conf[5]. If not specified in either location, the
default key from the keyring will be used.
*\--noconfirm*::
(Passed to pacman) Prevent pacman from waiting for user input before
proceeding with operations.
*\--needed*::
(Passed to pacman) Tell pacman not to reinstall a target if it is already
up-to-date. (used with '-i' / '\--install').
*\--asdeps*::
(Passed to pacman) Install packages as non-explicitly installed (used
with '-i' / '\--install').
*\--noprogressbar*::
(Passed to pacman) Prevent pacman from displaying a progress bar;
useful if you are redirecting makepkg output to file.
*\--packagelist*::
List the packages that would be produced without building. Listed
package names do not include PKGEXT.
*\--printsrcinfo*::
Generate and print the SRCINFO file to stdout.
Additional Features
-------------------
makepkg supports building development versions of packages without having to
manually update the pkgver in the PKGBUILD. This was formerly done using the
separate utility 'versionpkg'. See linkman:PKGBUILD[5] for details on how to
set up a development PKGBUILD.
Reproducibility
---------------
makepkg is designed to be compatible with
link:https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/[Reproducible Builds]. If the
**SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH** environment variable is set, it will be exported to
subprocesses, and source and package file modification times and package
metadata will be unified based on the timestamp specified.
If the **SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH** environment variable is not set, makepkg will use
its own start date for internal use, but will not unify source file timestamps
before building.
Environment Variables
---------------------
**PACMAN**::
The command that will be used to check for missing dependencies and to
install and remove packages. Pacman's '-Qq', '-Rns', '-S', '-T', and '-U'
operations must be supported by this command. If the variable is not
set or empty, makepkg will fall back to `pacman'.
