Hi TUs and DEVs,

I just packaged a new set of devtools today. I'll put it into testing first; so please give it a try and let me know if there are any problems. And of course I'd appreciate if you could also drop a line if everything works as expected.

A warning for those who use makechrootpkg: the rw and union subdirs are no longer used and cannot be used with the new tools. Aufs is no longer needed.

For details see http://projects.archlinux.org/devtools.git/log/

The most noticeable changes are:

     Use the host's SRCDEST and PKGDEST if defined      Reset umask before touching the chroot.      make sure all files are owned by nobody before building      Move build and package logs to WORKDIR, otherwise it is lost      Create a working copy instead of using an union layer      Read pacman cache dir from pacman.conf or cli      Reduce verbosity to a sane minimum      simplify and optimize upload process      Replace expensive merge with delete and copy      Add missing -n option to getopt list for mkarchroot      abort if not all local source files are under version control

Greetings,

Pierre

I'm getting  this error:

creating clean working copy mkdir: cannot create directory `': No such file or directory

I found the cause of this error. This error happens when the CacheDir is undefined. The chroot_mount function in mkarchroot then fails to create the cache_dir directory. It should be fixed by the commit to give cache_dir a default value.
