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 :) Adrien
