I have an helper script to manage my many chroots (testing, non-testing, i686, x86_64). It's somewhat trivial but I could post it if someone's interested.
I'm interested, please post it!
Script is here: http://dev.archlinux.org/~eric/buildroot It assumes that your chroots are in /mnt and follow this naming scheme: for non-testing chroot: /mnt/arch$ARCH_$NUM for testing chroot: /mnt/arch$ARCH-testing_$NUM $ARCH is either 32 or 64 and $NUM is the number of the chroot. If your chroot don't follow that scheme, add symlinks or modify the script accordingly. Usage: there are 3 switches that basically implements what Allan's posted before. - to update a specific chroot or group of chroots : # buildroot -u current64_1 # buildroot -u testing64_1 - to build package in a specific chroot: # buildroot -b current64_1 # buildroot -b testing64_1 - to build package in a specific chroot and use custom repo in chroot (for rebuild): # buildroot -i current64_1 # buildroot -i testing64_1 You'll need to add: [repo] Server = file:///repo in your chroot's pacman.conf to be able to use the chroot repo. Notes: - the -i switch is relatively new. I only used it when updating gimp and gimp-devel. It seem to work fine but it hadn't seen much use/testing yet. - the chroot32 reference is a i686 chroot that I use to install and test i686 packages on my x86_64 system. I use Thomas' capchroot for that. - BTW, the script currently copy the built package in your cache. This is a workaround for a makepkg behavior that will be improved next time it'll be updated. Feel free to remove the cp lines. Hopefully that explains everything. Questions/comments welcome. If there's enough interest by many people, I could make the script more general and less hackish.
