    makeworld?

    I just came across a program named makeworld on my Arch machine. After looking around Google, I couldn't find anything; anyone here know what it does?

    Perhaps it is a cousin of the "makeworld" in Gentoo. And it rebuilds all your system.

    I got about 500 hits from makeworld arch, for example:
    You can easily compile all your updates from source using 'makepkg' or 'makeworld'.

    Does that mean it does the same thing as makepkg? If not, what does it do instead?
