Malachite is a simple yet useful workspace and local repository management tool, made for packagers of Arch Linux based distributions.

Usage Guide

Action Command
Build a package mlc build <package> [all if left empty]
Generate local repository mlc repo-gen
Update local repos/PKGBUILDs mlc pull/update [all if left empty]
Create and/or open config file mlc conf
Initialises repo/workspace based on config in mlc.toml mlc clone/init

Pacman Repository Creation

  • mlc config to create the config (and also populate it)
  • mlc init to build repository base from config file
  • mlc build <package> to either build individual packages, or don't specify package names to build all packages in mlc.toml
    • build typically automatically updates the repository unless --no-regen is passed, if so:
  • mlc repo-gen to generate functional pacman repository at <name>/<name>.db from built packages
