All, Calvin,

Building in a clean chroot has changed significantly on Arch. My TDE build relies on being able to create and index a 'local' repo in $CHROOT/root/repo and add packages and update the index as each package is built. The appropriate entry is in $CHROOT/root/etc/pacman.conf:

[local] Server = file:///repo

The files are copied to $CHROOT/root/repo and the index built with:

repo-add local.db.tar.gz *.xz

A stub PKGBUILD is then created with:

depends=('apetag-git' 'libkarma' 'libnjb' 'libutempter' 'mt-daapd' 'musepack-tools-svn' 'tde-tqt3' 'wv2' 'xmedcon')

Now 'sudo mkchrootpkg -c -r $CHROOT' results in the following error:

21:25 phoinix:/dat_f/tde/stub> sudo makechrootpkg -c -r $CHROOT ==> Creating clean working copy [david]...done ==> Making package: tde-stub 0.1-1 (Thu Jan 16 21:25:34 CST 2014) ==> WARNING: Using a PKGBUILD without a package() function is deprecated. ==> Retrieving sources... ==> Making package: tde-stub 0.1-1 (Thu Jan 16 21:25:34 CST 2014) ==> WARNING: Using a PKGBUILD without a package() function is deprecated. ==> Checking runtime dependencies... warning: database file for 'local' does not exist ==> Installing missing dependencies... warning: database file for 'local' does not exist error: target not found: apetag-git error: target not found: libkarma error: target not found: libnjb error: target not found: mt-daapd error: target not found: musepack-tools-svn error: target not found: tde-tqt3 error: target not found: wv2 error: target not found: xmedcon ==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies. ==> ERROR: Build failed, check /dat_e/ch14/david/build

Calvin, do you know what changed in chroot building on Arch that causes the local repo to no longer be found? I've posted on arch-general as well.
