Our PKGBUILD.com build server is now tentatively running my devtools patchset. User-visible changes should be: --- *-build now always requires sudo. This used to be inconsistent, requiring sudo only for -c. --- All chroots are now kept in /var/tmp/archbuild, a btrfs volume. --- All chroot copies are kept in btrfs subvolumes. --- makechrootpkg will now name the chroot copy after your username instead of simply "copy", e.g. /var/tmp/archbuild/extra-x86_64/johndoe --- mkarchroot and makechrootpkg will lock chroots that are in use. This means builds using the same chroot copy will be serialized instead of simply failing. TLDR: You should be able to continue using the devtools helpers as usual. Just note: *-build requires sudo, chroots are in /var/tmp/archbuild. Please report any problems.
