I want to symlink the svn repo to inside the chroot so when makechrootpkg -c -r <chrootdir> creates the clean copy it doesn't have to copy the entire svn source code to the clean copy, as it is almost 2G is size.

Anyone know of a way to get around this? symlinks can't go out of chroots. So /home+build/../trinity.source inside the chroot is /../trinity.source and the parent of root being root, resolves to /trinity.source which is /home+build/trinity.source. In summary: the symlink points to itself. The solution is to use mount --bind /trinity.source /home+build/trinity.source
