If you want to jump ahead:

The patch is simple, as aufs supports unionfs syntax too. Actually a
sed "s/unionfs/aufs/" should actually work too.
Make sure to install aufs2-util though
Any qualms with me releasing devtools as it is from git?
Yes- it installs a communitypkg script that will no longer work with
the tupkg uploader, as it has been switched to use the devtools and
upload to our other server.
I suppose we can just not distribute that in the package for the time
being. Anyway, I will be taking the git versions of the building scripts for
a spin later today so I can give them a good testing before you make a
release.
Issues I have with makechrootpkg (git master with Aaron's master merged):
1) there is a whole heap of issues with using ""'s around variables that
have *'s in them. So the * is not getting expanded and there are issues
copying the completed packages and adding them to a db. I will send a patch
soon. However the fix stops people using base chroot directories with
spaces in them. I personally don't care about that possibility and prefer
things to work in some form...
2) I get output like:
which: no namcap in
(/home/allan/bin:/home/allan/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin/perlbin/site:/usr/bin/perlbin/vendor:/usr/bin/perlbin/core)
because the redirection to /dev/null is not quite right. Again, patch on
its way...
Patch attached. Applies on top of devtools git master with Aaron's master
merged on top.
Ignore that patch. Running with this fix exposed an error in the test of
whether to add a package to a repo. That is included in the patch on my git
web (http://dev.archlinux.org/~allan/gitweb/gitweb.cgi).

Maybe it would be simpler to just push a new devtools package with
only the fix to use aufs2 instead of unionfs to get this out of the
way. After that, we could look into releasing a new tarball from git.
I have built quite a few packages with the build tools (including my
patch) now and they seem to be working fine. Have not tested the upload
scripts at all, but I think they are less changed. I think a new
release should not be too risky.
On a related note: What are we going to do with the unionfs-utils
package? Remove it? It's out-of-date and on the licence rebuild list.
I'd guess remove it. Is it of any use at all now?
