[arch-general] Tool to create mtree

2015-04-29 Thread Magnus Therning
When looking at the internals of an Arch package I learned about the mtree format. However, I didn't find any tool to create an mtree file myself. Is it really the case that `makepkg` and `pacman` handle mtree files internally, and that Arch completely lacks a tool for working with mtree files?
