PURPOSE
Building and installing AUR packages.


INSTALLATION
There are two ways to install PKGBUILDer:

Get it from the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pkgbuilder/
Add the PKGBUILDer unofficial repository: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unofficial_user_repositories#pkgbuilder

After adding the repository, you need to run:
# pacman-key -r 5EAAEA16
# pacman-key --lsign 5EAAEA16
# pacman -Syyu


BASIC USAGE
pkgbuilder is a command-line application. It takes various options and
package names as arguments. The following options are needed for basic usage:

-S to work in /tmp instead of the current directory
-F to fetch packages instead of installing them
-s to search for packages in the AUR
-i to get info about an AUR package
-u to upgrade all AUR packages on your system

PKGBUILDer also comes with pb, a wrapper that works with both pacman and
the AUR.
For more information, refer to the -h command, the pkgbuilder(8) man
page, or the online documentation at https://pkgbuilder.readthedocs.org/.


CONFIGURATION
PKGBUILDer supports per-user configuration, in the file
~/.config/kwpolska/pkgbuilder/pkgbuilder.ini. It can also be configured on a
per-usage basis via command-line arguments.


SECURITY AND EDITING PKGBUILDs
By default, PKGBUILDer strives to be the no-questions-asked package manager.
This means that all packages are built immediately, without any confirmations.
The behavior can be overridden with the --edit-pkgbuild command-line
option, or with edit=pkgbuild=true in PKGBUILDer’s config file.
