Building from scratch

Postby starfry » Wed Jul 18, 2012 7:33 pm

Hi, my first post here, please be gentle :D

I'm experienced with Arch Linux and am trying out on my Raspberry Pi. The first thing I would like to do is understand the packages in the system and be able to build my own. I've been doing this for ages on Arch using "mkarchroot" but I'm hitting conflicts when I try to do that on the Pi.

I've tried something like this to start with:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'mkarchroot -C /path/to/my/pacman.conf newarchroot base')

I presume "base" contains stuff not relevant in the arm space and that I either need a different meta-package or a specific list of packages. I've had a look around and done some google searches but I haven't found anything relevant hence the post.

thanks in advance.
