Guys,
I have followed the DeveloperWiki:Building in a Clean Chroot page closely for
the trinity build and it has worked fine. For major rebuilds it has you create a
local.db.tar.gz in /root/repo as a local repo. However, I was experimenting with
makechrootpkg -d and it suggest it will add the package to the local /repo, but
instead it creates /root/repo/repo.db. Why not local.db?
Looking at the developer wiki and then looking at the help file for makechrootpkg:
-d Add the package to a local db at /repo after building
I expected both to be consistent. Is there a reason for the difference?
The repo.db.tar.gz is what I would expect.
-d says It will add the path to a local repo not that the repo database
will be called local.db.tar.gz
Just put
[repo]
Server = file:///repo
into the pacman.conf in the chroot directory and it will work.
Then the chroot evironment will be able to load/install dependcy
packages when needed for building the "package under building".
I do this all the time.
