Vrch

vrch is a repack utility that uses *.patch files to modify PKGBUILDs and builds them in clean chroots, mostly aims to test pkg-splitting (*-docs, *-gtk, *-qt, *-...).

This makes testing patches faster and provides reference implementations.

It generates .SRCINFO files automatically and using format: .RPKGINFO to track upstream commits and patches revisions. This is part of a larger effort in general packaging topic.

Example openjpeg2 2.5.4 :

	Download	Installed

Vrch	273.11 KiB	722.71 KiB
Delta	-69.5 %	-94.7 %
Vrch -docs (optional)	605.18 KiB	12.89 MiB

This is notably pulled in by almost everything a desktop user would use.
