New subject: [arch-general] [PATCH] devtools: make sure all files are owned by nobody before building

26 Dec 2009

makechrootpkg copies files to "$uniondir/build" after chowning the
directory. This means those files are not owned by nobody.

This yields to failure when the files are supposed to be dynamically
edited. A common use-case is when we build from git or svn and we want
$pkver to be upgraded dynamically.
