Directories that must be used

All users should use only ~/chroots for storing his chroots and ~/packages for storing packages builds. This directories are excluded from backup and all other directories and files are backup.

Creating and building packages

Devtools 0.9.10 has build helpers that can be used.

/usr/bin/extra-i686-build
/usr/bin/extra-x86_64-build
/usr/bin/multilib-build
/usr/bin/staging-i686-build
/usr/bin/staging-x86_64-build
/usr/bin/testing-i686-build
/usr/bin/testing-x86_64-build

This can be used to _create_ and build packages. Chroots are created by default in ~/chroots. To build packages that depends on each other should be use makechrootpkg directly.
