[SOLVED] Installing AUR packages built in a clean chroot

Hello,

this is a very basic question and maybe would be better placed in the Newbie Corner, in that case -- sorry.

I am trying to get away from AUR helpers and had a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Develo … ean_chroot and https://github.com/graysky2/clean-chroot-manager.
Following its README, I used clean-chroot-manager to build a first AUR package (rxvt-unicode-truecolor-wide-glyphs). The location of the built package is $CHROOT/david/build/rxvt-unicode-truecolor-wide-glyphs/pkg/rxvt-unicode-truecolor-wide-glyphs/.

How do people usually proceed? Should I manually copy this folder to some location like /opt and update $PATH, $MANPATH, etc? Or simply copy its content (usr/bin,lib,share) to /usr (or ~/.local/)?
Or is there another way in which packages are intended to be installed on the system?

Thank you!

Re: [SOLVED] Installing AUR packages built in a clean chroot

Look in the folder where the PKGBUILD resides (and you started ccm from) .
It will show several log files and one or more files ending with zst .

You can install the build packages by using pacman -U on the *.zst files.

Read https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository to get an overview.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky
