Devtools has been updated by core team members to suit our needs. Creating a clean package for Manjaro is as easy as eating pie. (According to Phil!)


It will create your chroot and package with all dependencies automatically for the branch and architecture you have chosen.

==The process of creating a package==
'''First, install devtools on your system:'''
sudo pacman -S devtools
<br clear="all"/>
===Clone your PKGBUILD from our git:===
'''core'''
git clone http://git.manjaro.org/package-sources/core.git
'''extra'''
git clone http://git.manjaro.org/package-sources/extra.git
'''community'''
git clone http://git.manjaro.org/package-sources/community.git
'''multilib'''
git clone http://git.manjaro.org/package-sources/multilib.git
<br clear="all"/>
===Building Packages for the various repos===
'''This is the format:'''
cd <repo>/<package>
sudo <branch>-<arch>-build
'''Since Phil pulls all to unstable first, most of the packages will be built only in unstable:'''
cd <repo>/<package>
sudo unstable-i686-build
<br clear="all"/>
===Each branch is built in a separate chroot===
'''As the following shows:'''
[phil@manjaro manjarobuild]$ ls

stable-x86_64  testing-x86_64  unstable-x86_64

===Build i686 packages on an x86_64 host===
It is possible to build i686 packages on an x86_64 host since all packages will get generated in a clean chroot.

==Pushing packages to our repos==
To push these packages to our repos is a different story and will be done by boxit. Hopefully Roland will modify boxit so more people other than our core-team can commit packages to our repos. For now, please mail philm your packages & he'll do the upload for you.
