Requires a remote user +that can run archbuild in a non-interactive manner, e.g. must be able to +elevate permissions using passwordless sudo. + +Options +------- + +*-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 dragon.archlinux.org + which is used as part of the build toolchain for the official Arch Linux + repos. + +*-h, --help*:: + Show a help text. + +Passing options to archbuild +---------------------------- + +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>` + +include::footer.asciidoc[] |
