We are creating a series of YouTube videos under the “edu-“ label to guide users through the migration from ArcoLinux to Arch Linux. These tutorials aim to make the transition process smoother by explaining each step clearly and providing practical examples. Whether you’re switching to gain more control or to learn vanilla Arch, our edu- videos are here to support your journey.

ArcoLinux has stopped

Teaching never stops—because learning is a lifelong journey for all of us.

Building a package in clean chroot environment

If you are building a package that needs to go on an iso it is good practice – if technically possible – to build it in a clean chroot environment.

It is like having a small Arch Linux computer system on your ArcoLinux. A kind of jail Arch Linux they call it on the wiki.

So we start on the wiki.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot

I will not copy/paste over any text but rather ask you read that page and follow that page.

We will follow it together and in the end we will have a building script to get a better workflow next time.

#!/bin/bash














CHROOT=$HOME/Documents/chroot
arch-nspawn $CHROOT/root pacman -Syu
makechrootpkg -c -r $CHROOT
