Hi everybody!
I'm currently trying out several DEs with Arch and would like to build Trinity, R14, too. I followed the wiki (which more or less points to this readme).
Things are a bit tricky there, but I ended up with having the tar.gz archives built and moved to the right location as well as placing all the other stuff into the dirs made for it.
Step 4 set up a new chroot for me and everything was well except for a warning that there was no local.db. Since the scripts don't seem to build 'hal-info', 'hal' and 'libutempter', I build packages for them by hand and moved those into $chroot/root/repo. Then I used repo-add local.db.tar.gz $pkgname for each package.
Finally I updated the chroot using mkarchroot -u $chroot/root". It worked well and now I do have a file 'local.db'.
But if I want to build the first package ('tqt3') using the 'bt.sh' script, it works up to the moment where it issues 'sudo makechrootpkg -r /home/myusername/chroot -u'. Pacman starts downloading the dependencies before building, but once it's done with "checking package integrity", I just get several lines of
error: GPGME error: Inappropriate ioctl for device
and than a bunch of lines talling me that $pkgname is "missing required signature".
I'm rather new to Arch and despite having searched the wiki, the forums and google for a while, I'm not really going anywhere. I understand that it's pacman which is unable to cope with the signature thing in the chroot. But what to do about this?

I'm using archbuild, rather than calling makechrootpkg directly,
and I'm having the same issue.
I discovered that the gpgme errors go away when running under GNU screen.
Also, redirecting stdout and stderr gets rid of them.
So try running in a screen session, and see if that fixes your
problems. Also, I'll file a bug in a minute.

Thanks for your answer, cmb!
My problem was solved in an unexpected way, though: Just a few days after I had given up on getting building the Trinity DE myself, someone set up a custom repo for it that was added to the wiki. This was of course by far the easiest solution. But it was also good to mess a little with the build system myself.
