Excellent, I'll prepare a repo with those packages during the day.

Cool. I'm thinking of giving a try to xmonad, I'll take it from the repo if you have time to set it today then.


I did not need to tweak the ,,build-order file.

Ah, then you were lucky :)

I would say cblrepo is good :)


By the way, what happens if I want to build it while being root (or
under a sudo bash)? I had to type in me password several times
because I did not dare try it being root. Do you have a trick to
avoid typing it?

Yeah, it's a bit unfortunate that we have to work with chroot, which
requires root access.  I always configure a timeout for sudo so I
don't have to enter my password on *every* invocation.  For larger
builds, like all of [haskell] for instance, I actually configure sudo
to not require a password. Those are the only ways I know of avoiding
typing the password several times.

Good to know. I'll do that next time, so I can start it before going to sleep, or before going to work.

It took me a bit of a time to understand how things worked, mainly because I am a new user of Arch Linux, but your scripts did all the hard work. It was a nice experience. Next time will be even easier :)
