===========

.. program:: chain-build

Synopsis
--------

::

    sample-rpkg chain-build [-h] [--arches [ARCHES [ARCHES ...]]] [--md5]
                            [--nowait] [--target TARGET] [--background]
                            package [package ...]

Description
-----------


Build current package in order with other packages.

example: sample-rpkg chain-build libwidget libgizmo

The current package is added to the end of the CHAIN list.
Colons (:) can be used in the CHAIN parameter to define groups of
packages.  Packages in any single group will be built in parallel
and all packages in a group must build successfully and populate
the repository before the next group will begin building.

For example:

sample-rpkg chain-build libwidget libaselib : libgizmo :

will cause libwidget and libaselib to be built in parallel, followed
by libgizmo and then the current directory package. If no groups are
defined, packages will be built sequentially.
