''manjaro-tools'' consists of a lot of different tools aimed at Manjaro developers. It is split into 3 different packages:
* ''manjaro-tools-base'' contains basic tools, different chroot tools, and ''buildset''
* ''manjaro-tools-pkg'' contains small helper tools, ''buildpkg'', and ''buildtree''
* ''manjaro-tools-iso'' contains small helper tools and ''buildiso''


manjaro-tools can be configured via editing {{ic|''/etc/manjaro-tools/manjaro-tools.conf''}}

Supposing something only changed in config, like a setting, instead of building the whole ISO from scratch, the ISO build directory can be modified and the ISO can be rebuilt. For example, supposing one changed ''xfce-overlay/etc/skel/.conkyrc'' in the config, one can go into the work directory, modify the said file, and rebuild the ISO using the '''-cs''' option.

There is a catch involved here though; the file one wants to edit may be present in multiple images, like rootfs, livefs, desktopfs), and would need to be edited in the respective image directories.

{{UserCmd|command=buildiso -p xfce -cs}}
 
=== Alternative === <!--T:53-->
 
<!--T:54-->
First only the chroot for the ISO could be created, using the {{ic|-i}} option, then the changes can be made, and finally an ISO can be built with the {{ic|-sc}} option.

<!--T:56-->
{{UserCmdOutput|command=buildiso -p xfce -b stable -x|result=

Introduction

manjaro-tools consists of a lot of different tools aimed at Manjaro developers. It is split into 3 different packages:

  • manjaro-tools-base contains basic tools, different chroot tools, and buildset
  • manjaro-tools-pkg contains small helper tools, buildpkg, and buildtree
  • manjaro-tools-iso contains small helper tools and buildiso


All of these manjaro-tools packages are replacements for devtools and manjaroiso.

A detailed user manual is available at gitlab.


Configuration

manjaro-tools can be configured by copying the folder /etc/manjaro-tools to your home in ~/.config folder and then edit the file ~/.config/manjaro-tools/manjaro-tools.conf

Files

These are the new names for renamed scripts.

  • mkmanjaroroot --> mkchroot
  • manjarobuild --> buildpkg
  • mkset --> buildset
  • pacstrap --> basestrap
  • genfstab --> fstabgen
  • arch-chroot --> manjaro-chroot


buildset

buildset is used to create build lists. Build lists can be defined in /etc/manjaro-tools/sets/<buildlistname>.set

The help looks like the following:


$ buildset -h

 Usage: buildset [options]
     -c <name>   Create set
     -r <name>   Remove set
     -s <name>   Show set
     -i          Iso mode
     -q          Query sets
     -h          This help


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

buildpkg

buildpkg is used to build a particular package or a set. In the following chapter all functions of buildpkg get explained.

If you want a detailed example how to use buildpkg to build packages for a local repository, please look here.


The help looks like the following:


$ buildpkg -h

Usage: buildpkg [options]
    -a <arch>          Arch [default: x86_64]
    -b <branch>        Branch [default: stable]
    -c                 Recreate chroot
    -h                 This help
    -i <pkg>           Install a package into the working copy of the chroot
    -n                 Install and run namcap check
    -p <pkg>           Build list or pkg [default: default]
    -q                 Query settings and pretend build
    -r <dir>           Chroots directory
                       [default: /var/lib/manjaro-tools/buildpkg]
    -s                 Sign packages
    -w                 Clean up cache and sources


To build a single package, go into the directory which is one above the package build directory (which contains the PKGBUILD), and run it as:

user $ buildpkg -p package-name COPY TO CLIPBOARD


To build a set the name of the set can be used. The current sets can be queried with the -q option.

buildtree

buildtree is a little tools to sync arch abs and manjaro packages git repos.

The arguments are:


$ buildtree -h

 Usage: buildtree [options]
     -s            Sync manjaro tree
     -a            Sync arch abs
     -c            Clean package tree
     -q            Query settings
     -h            This help[/code]


To sync Arch and Manjaro trees:

user $ buildtree -as COPY TO CLIPBOARD


buildiso

buildiso is used to build a particular ISO or a set of ISOs. All functions of buildiso will be explained in the following chapters.

If you want a detailed guide how to use buildiso to build your own Manjaro ISOs from scratch, please look here.


Overview

The help looks like the following for x86_64:


$ buildiso -h

 Usage: buildiso [options]
     -p <profile>       Buildset or profile [default: default]
     -a <arch>          Arch [default: x86_64]
     -b <branch>        Branch [default: stable]
     -r <dir>           Chroots directory
                        [default: /var/lib/manjaro-tools/buildiso]
     -c                 Disable clean work dir
     -x                 Clean xorg cache

Query Building

To query build an ISO (-q option), for example the xfce-openbox-openrc profile, the following command can be used:


$ buildiso -p xfce -qv

==> manjaro-tools
  -> version: 0.15.9
  -> config: ~/.config/manjaro-tools/manjaro-tools.conf
==> PROFILE:
  -> build_lists: community|default|manjaro|sonar|v17-release
  -> build_list_iso: xfce
  -> is_build_list: false

  -> branch: unstable
  -> kernel: linux419
==> ARGS:

Building

To actually build the ISO:

user $ buildiso -p xfce -b stable COPY TO CLIPBOARD


Building with predownloaded Xorg packages

To build an ISO while retaining the previously downloaded cache of Xorg packages, the -x option can be used:

user $ buildiso -p xfce-openbox-openrc/ -b stable -x COPY TO CLIPBOARD


Building with a small config change

Note
It is to be verified if the procedure given below works or not.

Supposing something only changed in config, like a setting, instead of building the whole ISO from scratch, the ISO build directory can be modified and the ISO can be rebuilt. For example, supposing one changed xfce-overlay/etc/skel/.conkyrc in the config, one can go into the work directory, modify the said file, and rebuild the ISO using the -cs option.

The work directory can be found using the -h option:


$ buildiso -h

 Usage: buildiso [options]
     -p <profile>       Buildset or profile [default: default]
     -a <arch>          Arch [default: x86_64]
     -b <branch>        Branch [default: unstable]
     -r <dir>           Chroots directory
                        [default: '''/var/lib/manjaro-tools/buildiso''']
     -t <dir>           Target directory
                        [default: /home/fh/Data/build/iso]
     -k <name>          Kernel to use
                        [default: linux419]
     -g <key>           The gpg key for sfs signing
                        [default: ]
     -m                 Set SquashFS image mode to persistence
     -c                 Disable clean work dir
     -f                 Build full ISO (extra=true)
     -d <comp>          Compression used for build ISO: xz, gzip, lzma, lzo, lz4
                        [default: xz]
     -x                 Build images only
     -z                 Generate iso only
                        Requires pre built images (-x)
     -v                 Verbose output to log file, show profile detail (-q)
     -q                 Query settings and pretend build
     -h                 This help


    -r <dir>           Chroots directory
                       [default: /var/lib/manjaro-tools/buildiso]

(work directory highlighted in bold)

The required file can be edited as root, for example:

user $ sudo nano /var/lib/manjaro-tools/buildiso/xfce/x86_64/desktopfs/etc/skel/.conkyrc COPY TO CLIPBOARD


There is a catch involved here though; the file one wants to edit may be present in multiple images, like rootfs, livefs, desktopfs), and would need to be edited in the respective image directories.


Then the ISO then can be rebuilt as:

user $ buildiso -p xfce -cs COPY TO CLIPBOARD


Alternative

First only the chroot for the ISO could be created, using the -i option, then the changes can be made, and finally an ISO can be built with the -sc option.

For example:


$ buildiso -p xfce -b stable -x

==> Start building [xfce]
==> Cleaning up ...
  -> Deleting chroot [rootfs] (x86_64) ...
  -> Deleting isoroot [iso] ...
[..]


After this the changes in the work directory can be made, and the ISO can be generated with:

user $ buildiso -p xfce/ -cz COPY TO CLIPBOARD
