schroot is a Debian dev-util which allows easy handling of chroots. It handles automatic copying of files from the root into the chroot, as well as the mounting and unmounting issues. It also allows regular users to chroot.

There has been a vulnerability report for schroot: SA34971 http://secunia.com/advisories/34971/ As overlays are not covered by the Gentoo Security Team, you only get this notification. Howerver, please note that we require the initial commiter to gentoo-x86 to verify that this issue is fixed before adding the package. Thanks!
Created attachment 195766 [details] 1.2.3 + test fixes Version 1.2.3 is out, which addresses the bug noted in Comment #8. This ebuild has been modified from the version in Sunrise to enable use without dev-util/cppunit, as the autoconf patch in Sunrise uses a macro cppunit provides and autoreconf can't resolve.
This package has now been added to the tree. I modified the patches and ebuild a bit, and added an init script based off of Debian's.
