I'm attempting to set up a clean chroot to build packages in. I've followed the instructions on the wiki page
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_Clean_Chroo....
I've read all the posts on the forum, than man pages, and the mailing lists (I may have missed something) and haven't found any answer to my problem;
Steps to recreate:
<wipe everything>
quick todo. simple way
sudo extra-x86-64-build or sudo extra-i686-build
does the clean chroots in /var/tmp and it does two things 1) if chroot doesn't exists it will create and start compiling 2) if chroot exists, clean the chroot and start compilation.
the schemas for chroots are like this: /path/to/chroot/root - the clean one /path/to/chroot/$usr - the one that is used for compilation and gets clean
now, if you want to modify mirrorlist from chroot take in consideration that is taken from system /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist first mirror.
now depending of what you want to modify in makepkg.conf some variables can be read and exported inside chroot from ~/.makepkg.conf like MAKEFLAGS, PACKAGER.
for pacman.conf you should edit /path/to/chroot/root/etc/pacman.conf
to use makechrootpkg use makechrootpkg -rc /path/to/chroot without specify anything else and mkarchroot wants a /path/to/chroot/root as parameter

I'll give this a try later. Thanks for the suggestion.
