.SH "NAME"
devtools \- Developer tools for the Arch Linux distribution
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
Devtools contains tools for package maintenance in Arch Linux\&. It comes with a unified command\-line frontend called \fIpkgctl\fR that aids to conveniently interact with all the different tools this collection provides\&.
.sp
The toolset varies from tools for building packages in a clean chroot (\fImkarchroot\fR, \fIarchbuild\fR, \&...), packaging related tools (\fIsogrep\fR, \fIdiffpkg\fR, \fIlddd\fR) and tools for repository management such as (\fIpkgrepo\fR)\&.
