I have a machine that has been put aside for building 64 bit packages. Now that Aaron's is dead, we could start using this one. I have no idea how Aaron's was set up so I don't really have an idea on how to set this one up.
What is needed for me to make this build machine available?
I can do it. Give me sudo access and I will set it all up the same way I had mine setup.
It's fairly easy, here are the steps I did:
mkarchroot /var/archroot base base-devel sudo
I think it would also be way beneficial to have a testing-enabled chroot beside the 'current' chroot. After creating the chroot (say /var/archroot-testing), just edit /var/archroot-testing/etc/pacman.conf and enable testing, then run mkarchroot -u to update the chroot.
Then guys like me can even build against testing packages. Woot.
Yeah, you'd just have to flip around the ~/chroot-shell/root symlink to point to different chroots
Or have ~/chroot-shell/ and ~/chroot-shell-testing/ and change where $CHROOT_SHELL points, but yeah
