The symlink used to run it will be inspected by archbuild, to determine which target you want it to use\&. It will load the available pacman configuration from \fIreponame\-arch\&.conf\fR with a fallback to \fIreponame\&.conf\fR from /usr/share/devtools/pacman\&.conf\&.d\&. The makepkg configuration is loaded from \fIrepo\-arch\&.conf\fR with a fallback to \fIreponame\&.conf\fR from /usr/share/devtools/makepkg\&.conf\&.d\&.
.sp
It will also load the bind mount configuration from \fImount\&.d/arch\fR in /usr/share/devtools\&. The file format is that each line starting with ro and rw will be used, other lines will be ignored, and the rest of the used line is out/path:in/path preceded by a space as a separator\&. ro means it is a read\-only mount, rw means a read\-write mount\&.
