Can someone elaborate on the difference between mkarchroot and arch-chroot? arch-chroot — chrooting into an existing environment, using on the Arch install medium to get to your brand new root you pacstrap’d ten seconds ago (or for recovery of an existing root).

mkarchroot — creating a brand new Arch Linux environment/root.

So, two different things when you think about it.

Yup, I got it later on. Was a bit stupid question, now I think about it :P Anyway, since Thomas mentioned systemd-nspawn, and it seems to do the same stuff as arch-chroot, I was wondering what are the differences between the two, and would arch-chroot be deprecated in the future?
