Reproduce a package from the repository

[jelly]

This tool currently can detect reproducible build issue, but it does not reproducible packages from our repo yet. For that it requires either a BUILDINFO (or extract from pkg.tar.xz) and a PKGBUILD.

This means, we need to create a chroot:

• Install all old packages (installed =). pacman -U -r ? Can't use daily repo since packages can be updated twice a day!
• Modify makepkg.conf for possible passed variables (options/buildenv)
• Set builddir
• Set builddate

I think repro check *.pkg.tar.xz is meant exactly for this, but I might be wrong

Indeed, I'm pretty ignorant, really should have read the code..

Although the makepkg.conf options aren't currently set yet. @Foxboron shall I make a new bugreport for that or do you want to close this one :)

Just curious, what do you mean by makepkg.conf options? There is -M flag where you can provide a path to makepkg.conf, and I already tried using it to change PKGEXT - it worked 🙂

[jelly]

makepkg options are:

• OPTIONS=()
• BUILDENV=()
