add custom package when building in a clean chroot using devtools
I've been following the DeveloperWiki for building a package in a clean chroot. One of the packages I'm building requires a package that's no longer in the repositories (c-icap). I've built the c-icap package but how can I include it for building?
I've been using the extra-x86_64-build script to build packages with but not sure how to include a custom repository into the new chroot. I've modified the /usr/share/devtools/pacman-extra.conf to include a file based repository but that didn't work because the chroot directory structure seems to be rebuilt everytime.

Try clean-chroot-manager from the AUR.

Put the repository in the root chroot. Then chroot into it, and run repo-add from inside it.

Precisely the motivation for me to write ccm.

Re: add custom package when building in a clean chroot using devtools
Simplest way is to just use "-- -I <package>"

Re: add custom package when building in a clean chroot using devtools
thanks for all of the options.
the "-- -I <package>" is the simplest option for adding a single package dependency
ended up using ccm because I need to build with several custom package dependencies

Re: add custom package when building in a clean chroot using devtools
Glad you're getting some mileage out of ccm... it's one of the little wrapper scripts I cooked up for my own needs but am glad to see others are finding some value there too.
