Manjaro-tools

Introduction

manjaro-tools is a replacement for devtools. It consists of two componenets, the devtools and arch-install-scripts, but manjarobuild and its symlinks got replaced by build-set.

Configuration

manjaro-tools can be configured via editing /etc/manjaro-tools/manjaro-tools.conf

Files

These are the new names for renamed scripts.

• mkmanjaroroot --> mkchroot
• manjarobuild --> build-set
• pacstrap --> basestrap
• genfstab --> fstabgen
• arch-chroot --> manjaro-chroot
• make-set

Tools

make-set

build-set features building from build lists as well as single packages. Build lists can be defined in /etc/manjaro-tools/sets/<buildlistname>.set

To create a build list, one can run in the pkgbuilds/abs dir:

sudo make-set -c <name>

This will create a build list containing all directories with PKGBUILDs in them. This generated list can be then edited, like packages can be removed.

For example, in a git clone of https://github.com/udeved/pkgbuilds

$ ls 
consolekit                  manjaro-openrc         openrc-net
eudev                       manjaro-tools          packages
eudev-systemdcompat         networkmanager-openrc  polkit-consolekit
kde-servicemenus-pkg-tools  openrc-aur             README.md
keyboardctl-openrc          openrc-base            sddm-consolekit
kf5-servicemenus-pkg-tools  openrc-desktop         sysvinit
lib32-eudev                 openrc-devel           upower-pm-utils
lib32-eudev-systemdcompat   openrc-misc

Running sudo make-set -c openrc does

$ sudo make-set -c openrc

Note

---

The set name should be different from a directory name in abs dir. Anything else should work, eg adding a date to the name.

build-set

build-set is used to build a particular package or a set. The help looks like the following for x86_64

$ build-set -h
Usage: build-set [options] -- [makepkg_args]
    -p <profile>       Set profile or pkg [default: default]
    -a <arch>          Set arch  [default: x86_64]
    -b <branch>        Set branch [default: stable]
    -r <dir>           Chroots directory [default: /srv/manjarobuild]
    -c                 Clean chroot
    -w                 Wipe clean pkgbuild and pkg directory
    -n                 Run namcap check
    -s                 Sign packages
    -q                 Query settings and pretend build
    -h                 This help

To build a single package, for example upower-pm-utils, go into the package build directory (which contains the PKGBUILD), and run it as:

sudo build-set -p upower-pm-utils
