NAME

       limba-build - command-line tool for automated builds

SYNOPSIS

       limba-build {COMMAND} [OPTIONS ...]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the limba-build command.

       limba-build is a tool to automate building Limba packages from source in an isolated
       chroot environment.

       The tool is also able to create simple Limba package repositories and perform other tasks
       related to building Limba packages.

OPTIONS

       run DIRECTORY
           Run the build process. limba-build will look for a lipkg/build.yml, build.yml or
           .travis.yml file containing build instructions in that order.

           To build in a chroot environment, the --chroot= parameter needs to point to a
           directory containing an operating system as created by e.g.  debootstrap (8) on
           Debian-based systems. If no chroot should be used, --chroot=none must be set instead.

       run-shell DIRECTORY
           Does exactly as the run command, but instead of running the commands necessary to
           build the software, it opens a interactive shell in the build environment.

           This feature is very useful for debugging the build environment itself. The pre-build
           and post-build commands are run before and after opening the interactive shell, just
           as in a regular build.

       repo-init DIRECTORY
           Initialize empty Limba package repository in a local directory.

       repo-add FILENAME DIRECTORY
           Add a Limba package to a local repository.

       --version
           Display version number of limba-build

       --verbose
           Turn on verbose mode (this can be used for debugging).

       limba (1), lipkgen (1), chroot (8).
