Hi,
Here (inline and attached) are a couple of patches for makechrootpkg.
Here's a second patch. It fixes the copying of the package from the chroot when the pkgver or pkgrel are different (e.g. device-mapper & lvm2) :
Be careful there.... man PKGBUILD:
All options and directives for the split packages default to the global values given within the PKGBUILD. However, some of these can be overridden within each split package’s packaging function. The following variables can be overridden: pkgdesc, license, groups, depends, optdepends, provides, conflicts, replaces, backup, options and install.
So overriding pkgver and pkgrel may not work as expected.

Thanks for the warning, I wasn't aware about that. From the package's name and the .PKGINFO it seems to work, at least for different pkgver. However, I haven't tested the packages yet.
My suspicion is that it will work when the package with the different pkgver/pkgrel is last. makepkg just does not revert those variables after exiting the package function. Are there other use cases like this? That functionality could be added... Allan
