Automatically build ABS and AUR pkgs each update for another computer

Hello,

I use archlinux on both of my computers (one with a 4-cores Phenom and a netbook).
I think i do not need to explain the difference of power between them .

But since my netbook have an N270, i wish to compile package with optimized makepkg flags.
Everything is fine if I build each package manually with pacman -Sb <pkg> for the current computer, but i can't get how to compile packages for another computer, exporting pkg.tar.gz to a particular folder without installing them.

I have tried pacbuilder, but it is currently broken, I don't figure how to do it with powerpill/bauerbill ... I'm kind of trapped

Do you have any suggestions ?

Thanks you

Eric

Have you tried

       --cache-built
              Move built packages to the cache. If PKGDEST is set in makepkg.conf, it will take precedence over this
              option.

with bauerbill?

Hmm, i tried it, but bauerbill keep calling pacman for installing after compilation. It's the main problem : i can't find any way to just compile package when updated, create the package and do not install them, just keep the package made, but thanks for the help karol

Ah, so the 'don't install' part is important ;P

You say that pacbuilder is currently broken - what do you mean? Did you try to compile it from AUR or did you get it from the unarch repo?

It seems to be working ... Surely a chair-keyboard interface problem. I try another time with pacbuild, and i respond here
