Can you tell Aaron I found an error with his latest git version of
devtools the makechrootpkg 

devtools-360fcd2f0ecaba3c8bb0e56e7fc6014dacfb3ec7

line 227 on the version I just fetched 
near the bottom of the script (makechrootpkg)

is
    pkgfile=${chrootdir}/union/pkgdest/${pkgname}-${pkgver}-${pkgrel}-*
${PKGEXT}

should be 

    pkgfile=${chrootdir}/rw/pkgdest/${pkgname}-${pkgver}-${pkgrel}-*
${PKGEXT}

It fails to copy the completed/built package from the chroot to the
directory where you have the PKGBUILD file

I found it because it farted up my bash script that builds all the
packages in the abs/local dir.  You drop the package(s) from core/extra
to local and let it fly,  it will tell you what happened and who did
it....completed failed etc.  After the build... all with successes the
log said....I still had zero *.pkg.tar.gz files :(
