offload-build - Build a PKGBUILD on a remote server using makechrootpkg

offload-build [OPTIONS] — [ARCHBUILD_OPTIONS]

Build a PKGBUILD on a remote server using makechrootpkg. Requires a remote user that can run archbuild in a non-interactive manner, e.g. must be able to elevate permissions using passwordless sudo.

-r, –repo <reponame>

Build against a specific repository. The default is extra, to build packages using the stable repositories via extra-x86_64-build.

-a, –arch <architecture>

Build against a specific architecture. The default is x86_64, the only architecture officially supported by Arch Linux.

-s, –server <hostname>

Offload to a specific build server. The default is build.archlinux.org which is used as part of the build toolchain for the official Arch Linux repos.

-h, –help

Show a help text.

Options after a delimiting — are passed on to archbuild on the remote. archbuild in turn supports passing arguments on to makechrootpkg, which in turn supports passing options to makepkg. Since each uses — to delimit options that are forwarded, make sure to escape them properly:

    `offload-build offload-args -- archbuild-args -- makechrootpkg-args -- makepkg-args`

Example: To use a second testing-x86_64-build instance with another copydir:

    `offload-build -r testing -- -- -l <chroot_copy>`

Bugs can be reported on the bug tracker https://bugs.archlinux.org in the Arch Linux category and title prefixed with [devtools] or via arch-projects@archlinux.org.
