 I want to symlink the svn repo to inside the chroot so when
 makechrootpkg -c -r chrootdir creates the clean copy it doesn't have
 to copy the entire svn source code to the clean copy, as it is almost
 2G is size.

  Anyone know of a way to get around this?
symlinks can't go out of chroots. So /home+build/../trinity.source
inside the chroot is /../trinity.source and the parent of root being
root, resolves to /trinity.source which is /home+build/trinity.source.
In summary: the symlink points to itself.
The solution is to use mount --bind /trinity.source
/home+build/trinity.source

[arch-general] Build in clean chroot

2011-03-08 Thread Baho Utot 

I have a chroot devel environment like this
/home+build/
/ root/   - srch chroot build 
made with mkarchroot
//trinity.source   - a symlink ie ln -s 
../trinity.source

/ copy- made by makechrootpkg
/ pkgbuild  - where the pkgbuild live
/ trinity.source   - a subversion repo 
checkout of source code


I then fetch the subversion rev level to use as the pkgver number like this

_source=trinity.source
_module=kdepim

  cd ${_source}/${_module}
  pkgver=$(svnversion)

This gives me an error

/build/PKGBUILD: line 25: cd: /trinity.source/kdepim: Too many levels of 
symbolic links
