NAME
       makerepo - automatically build and update a repo


SYNOPSIS
       makerepo /path/to/REPOBUILD


DESCRIPTION
       Makerepo is a tool to simplify building and maintaining a repository. A
       simple configuration file is use to specify the basic arguments such as
       database name and directory, package lists, etc.

       Makerepo can do the following:
	      Build  packages  from core/extra/community and from the AUR with
	      pbget

	      Build packages from local PKGBUILDs and source files.

	      Build packages from CPAN modules with pacpan

	      Include packages from other repos.


USAGE
       makerepo [REPOBUILD]
	      A REPOBUILD can be named anything and several REPOBUILDs can  be
	      kept  in	a single directory and be used to handle different pkg
	      sets in the same database, e.g. svn PKGBUILDs could  be  updated
	      once  a day while other packages are built less regularly. If no
	      REPOBUILD is specified, makerepo will  use  "REPOBUILD"  in  the
	      current working directory.


OPTIONS
       --get-template
	      Prints a commented REPOBUILD template

       --help Displays the help message.

       --no-confirm
	      Currently	 only  used  with the "--purge-old" option to suppress
	      the confirmation dialogue.

       --purge-old
	      Purges older verions of pkgs from cache.
