Hi, does this build take into account the /bin /sbin /lib --> usr/ merge?

I did very little configuring -- your repo was already there in /etc/pacman.conf, but I did change the server from the default 'dropbox' one to the 'alarm-n900' one.

At the '-Syu' update stage it gave me

Code:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
filesystem: /bin exists in filesystem

which after a quick google revealed this:
https://www.archlinux.org/news/binar...-intervention/

I then did something very stupid in the chroot:

Code:

mv /bin/* /usr/bin/
rm -rf /bin
ln -s /usr/bin /bin

(^I did the above for /sbin and /lib too).

This seems like it would work in my head (assuming that /usr really is mounted from initramfs), but when I tried to chroot back into the environment it was giving me the same error message as before.

Thoughts?
