We're getting close to release, so might as well do this now so people can
actually update some of our documentation.

+makepkg - package build utility
+
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+makepkg [options]
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+makepkg is a script to automate the building of packages. All it needs is a
+build-capable Linux platform and a custom build script for each package you
+wish to build (known as a PKGBUILD). See manlink:PKGBUILD[5] for details on
+creating your own build scripts.
+
+The advantage to a script-based build is that the work is only done once. Once
+you have the build script for a package, makepkg will do the rest: download and
+validate source files, check dependencies, configure the build-time settings,
+build the package, install the package into a temporary root, make
+customizations, generate meta-info, and package the whole thing up for pacman
+to use.
+
+makeworld can be used to rebuild an entire package group or the entire build
+tree. See `makeworld \--help` for syntax.
+
+Options
+-------
+*-A, \--ignorearch*::
+	Ignore a missing or incomplete arch field in the build script. This is
+	for rebuilding packages from source when the PKGBUILD may be slightly
+	outdated and not updated with an `$$arch=('yourarch')$$` field.
+
+*-b, \--builddeps*::
+	Build missing dependencies from source. When makepkg finds missing
+	build-time or run-time dependencies, it will look for the dependencies'
+	PKGBUILD files under ABSROOT (set in makepkg.conf). If it finds them it
+	will call makepkg to build and install the missing dependencies. The
+	child calls will be made with the `-b` and `-i` options.
+
+*-c, \--clean*::
+	Clean up leftover work files and directories after a successful build.
+
+*-C, \--cleancache*::
+	Removes all cached source files from the directory specified in SRCDEST
+	in manlink:makepkg.conf[5].
+
+*-d, \--nodeps*::
+	Do not perform any dependency checks. This will let you override and
+	ignore any dependencies required. There is a good chance this option
+	will break the build process if all of the dependencies are not
+	installed.
+
+*-e, \--noextract*::
+	Do not extract source files; use whatever source already exists in the
+	src/ directory. This is handy if you want to go into src and manually
+	patch or tweak code, then make a package out of the result. Keep in mind
+	that creating a patch may be a better solution to allow others to use
+	your PKGBUILD.
+
+*-f, \--force*::
+	makepkg will not build a package if a built package already exists in
+	the PKGDEST (set in manlink:makepkg.conf[5]) directory, which may
+	default to the current directory. This allows the built package to be
+	overwritten.
+
+*-g, \--geninteg*::
+	For each source file in the source array of PKGBUILD, download the file
+	if required and generate integrity checks. The integrity checks
+	generated are determined by the value of the INTEGRITY_CHECK array in
+	manlink:makepkg.conf[5]. This output can be redirected into your
+	PKGBUILD for source validation (`makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD`).
+
+*-h, \--help*::
+	Output syntax and command line options.
+
+*-i, \--install*::
+	Install or upgrade the package after a successful build using
+	manlink:pacman[8].
+
+*-m, \--nocolor*::
+	Disable color in output messages.
+
+*-o, \--nobuild*::
+	Download and extract files only, but do not build them. Useful with the
+	`\--noextract` option if you wish to tweak the files in src/ before
+	building.
+
+*-p* <`buildscript`>::
+	Read the package script `buildscript` instead of the default, see
+	manlink:PKGBUILD[5].
+
+*-r, \--rmdeps*::
+	Upon successful build, remove any dependencies installed by makepkg
+	during dependency auto-resolution (using `-b` or `-s`).
+
+*-R, \--repackage*::
+	Repackage contents of pkg/ without rebuilding the package. This is
+	useful if you forgot a depend or install file in your PKGBUILD and the
+	build itself will not change.
+
+*-s, \--syncdeps*::
+	Install missing dependencies using pacman. When missing build-time or
+	run-time dependencies are found, pacman will try to resolve them. If
+	successful, the missing packages will be downloaded and installed.
+
+*\--asroot*::
+	Allow makepkg to run as root. This is for security purposes as it is
+	normally dangerous to do so. This will also disable use of fakeroot and
+	sudo.
+
+*\--source*::
+	Do not actually build the package, but build a source-only tarball. This
+	is useful for passing a single tarball to another program such as a
+	chroot, remote builder, or an AUR upload.
+
+*\--noconfirm*::
+	(Passed to pacman) Prevent pacman from waiting for user input before
+	proceeding with operations.
+
+*\--noprogressbar*::
+	(Passed to pacman) Prevent pacman from displaying a progress bar;
+	useful if you are redirecting makepkg output to file.
+
