fixed that issue with package signatures and some other AIF things.. tested archlinux-2012.04.05_04-00-01-core-x86_64.iso and does installs fine for me.
note that i currently enabled testing repo so newer testbuilds will have testing enabled. (i need linux 3.3 for some EFI experiments)
Nice.
Note1: If you want, you can adjust the releng-scripts, there is no need anymore to make a chroot for archiso (even for build an i686-iso on x86_64 host)(*), now is safe for build to work directly without it. Just ensure that your pacman.conf is clean, (does not enable any repo that you do not want to be used, or does not ignore any package). Working in this ways allow to work with signed packages, save space, and... we can't use signed packages if we keep the chroot approach? Keep it (just only one for work on it, no need one for each $arch), but mkarchroot is broken for working with pacman signed packages inside. Since it uses a private devpts [#1] Also, is there any way that doing something bad in the building process might negatively impact the host system? I like the chroot approach, it feels robust and more safe against accidents. I hope not, indeed I never broken a chroot since working in archiso, and I never broken my systems since this change :) Of course this is not a warrany for future.

Note2: There is a new build mode<all> maybe can be used in releng-scripts
Quote from commit: --- This mode allow to build all 6 ISOs in just one step if build type is<all>. So "build.sh build all all" -> (single-i686, single-x86_64, dual) X (netinstall, core).
Note that the<purge> command is executed between each build step to save space, so do not use this mode if you want to keep all temporal files in work_dir. ---
(*) Under i686-host you can only build i686-isos only, but in x86_64-host (x86_64-kernel/x86_64-userspace OR x86_64-kernel/i686-userspace) you can build x86_64-isos and i686-isos :)
