[arch-general] makepkgchroot

[Myra Nelson]

I'm attempting to set up a clean chroot to build packages in. I've followed the
instructions on the wiki page
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_Clean_Chroot.

I've read all the posts on the forum, than man pages, and the mailing lists
(I may have missed something) and haven't found any answer to my problem;

Steps to recreate:

1. sudo mkarchroot ~/chroot/root base base-devel sudo -- success
2. edit pacman.conf, makepkg.conf, and mirrorlist in the chroot directory
3. sudo mkarchroot -u ~/chroot/root -- success
4.  a) [myra at gandalf ../repos/core-x86_64]:sudo makechrootpkg  -c -r ~/chroot
         creating clean working copy...done
         /usr/sbin/makechrootpkg: line 194:

         /usr/sbin/makechrootpkg: line 199:

         grep: /home/myra/chroot/myra/etc/makepkg.conf: No such file

         /usr/sbin/makechrootpkg: line 244:

         error: '/home/myra/chroot/myra' does not appear to be a Arch chroot
         please build the image using mkarchroot
         Build failed, check /home/myra/chroot/myra/build

    b) [myra at gandalf ../repos/core-x86_64]:sudo makechrootpkg  -r ~/chroot/root
        Missing chroot dir root directory.
        Try using: mkarchroot /home/myra/chroot/root/root base base-devel sudo
        usage makechrootpkg [options] -r <chrootdir> [--] [makepkg args]
        Run this script in a PKGBUILD dir to build a package inside a
        clean chroot. All unrecognized arguments passed to this script
        will be passed to makepkg.

        The chroot dir consists of the following directories:
        <chrootdir>/{root, copy} but only "root" is required
        by default. The working copy will be created as needed

        The chroot "root" directory must be created via the following
        command:
        mkarchroot <chrootdir>/root base base-devel sudo

        Default makepkg args: -s --noconfirm

        Flags:
        -h         This help
        -c         Clean the chroot before building
        -u         Update the working copy of the chroot before building
                   This is useful for rebuilds without dirtying the pristine
                   chroot
        -d         Add the package to a local db at /repo after building
        -r <dir>   The chroot dir to use
        -I <pkg>   Install a package into the working copy of the chroot
        -l <copy>  The directory to use as the working copy of the chroot
                        Useful for maintaining multiple copies.
                        Default: myra

Using [myra at gandalf ../repos/core-x86_64]:sudo makechrootpkg  -r ~/chroot/myra
gets the same results as b).

I don't think anything is wrong with makechrootpkg. I'm sure it's
something simple and
I'm probably just brickheaded and can't sort out what I'm doing wrong.
If someone has
a two by four to hit me with and straighten out my thinking please
don't hesitate.
