Details

Description:
Noticed mkarchroot was always using server mirrors.kernel.org which is not the preferred server. The grep in mkarchroot pulls the first non-comment out of mirrorlist which happens to be a blank line on my system. I fixed it by changing (line 76):

grep -v '^#' -m1 /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
grep '^\s*Server' -m1 /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Additional info:
* devtools 0.9.10-1

Steps to reproduce:
1. Don't have mirrors.kernel.org as the first server
2. Create/update a chroot and watch it download from mirrors.kernel.org
   mkarchroot.patch (0.5 KiB)
This task depends upon

You could replace it all with sed too:
host_mirror=$(sed -n '/^Server/ {s#/os/(i686|x86_64)#/os/\$arch#g; p; q}' /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist)

That is fixed a way better in git: http://projects.archlinux.org/devtools.git/commit/?id=db7a90ccd280a84bdbdef078ed766aa321ed317a

I just need to release a new version :-)
