checkpkg(1)
===========
Name
----
checkpkg - Compare the current build package with the repository version
Synopsis
--------
checkpkg
Description
-----------
Searches for a locally built package corresponding to the PKGBUILD, and
downloads the last version of that package from the Pacman repositories. It
then compares the list of .so files provided by each version of the package and
outputs if there are soname differences for the new package. A directory is
also created using mktemp with files containing a file list for both packages
and a library list for both packages.
checkpkg: add option to avoid keeping the tmp dir In some cases, like default makechrootpkg execution, the temporary directory used to assemble the differences is not required. Add an option to checkpkg that allows to get rid of that directory after run and call it automatically like that in makechrootpkg. Signed-off-by: Levente Polyak <anthraxx@archlinux.org>

Options
-------
*-r, --rmdir*::
Remove the temporary directory created to contain the file and library list
of both packages.
checkpkg: add option to print a warning in case of differences Sometimes its desired to be explicitly made aware of differences reporter by checkpkg via printing a warning instead of a regular message. Automatically use --warn for makechrootpkg builds so packagers are made visibly aware of a soname bump by simply looking out for colors indicating non success messages.
