Arch Linux

Note that this is due to this commit: http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=devtools.git;a=commit;h=4bc819a2

Now, the makepkg.conf from the chroot is sourced instead of the one in /etc. However, SRCDEST and PKGDEST are added to the end of the chroot makepkg.conf. As this is no longer over-written and so on the next run we end with bad values for these variables.

Solutions:
1) revert that commit
2) remove the copying to {SRC,PKG}DEST.

I have done 1) for my local version as enabling to build for another architecture requires a sprinkling of linux32/64 throughout anyway. This also means I do not need to adjust the chroots makepkg.conf every time I create a new one.

Seems like adding a "mkdir" for these directories would be the path of least resistance here.

Just to be clear, the issue is with copying the files back to the host.

Hmmm couldn't we just source /etc/makepkg.conf after everything is complete?

That would work.

But copying it first means I do not have to update my makepkg.conf every time I create a chroot. Maybe mkarchroot should copy the local one into the chroot?

Hmm I see what you're saying. mkarchroot CAN copy it if you use the -M argument

"I have done 1) for my local version as enabling to build for another architecture requires a sprinkling of linux32/64 throughout anyway."

Hmmm, I think you can simply put linux32/64 before the makechrootpkg command. For example, I once did `linux32 sudo makechrootpkg -c -r /opt/arch/stable-i686', to build a i686 kernel on a x86_64 host.

I reverted the commit in git for now

How about this?

That looks fine

Second line from the end appears to have an additional slash in it ("~/./makepkg.conf").

Looks alright to me too.

ok pushed to master.

consider this closed?
