pkgctl-build

Automatically choose the right build script to build packages in a clean chroot

$ pkgctl build

$ pkgctl build --arch [architecture] --repo [repository] --clean

pkgctl build [options]

pkgctl build builds Arch Linux packages inside a clean chroot environment, ensuring reproducible and isolated builds. It's the official tool for Arch Linux packagers to build packages for the repositories.
The command automatically detects the appropriate build configuration from the PKGBUILD and repository settings. It uses devtools infrastructure to create isolated build environments.
Building in a clean chroot prevents host system contamination and ensures packages only depend on declared dependencies.

Requires devtools package and proper chroot setup. First build downloads base system packages. Requires sufficient disk space for chroot. Part of the pkgctl toolset for Arch Linux maintainers.
