Was just looking at the explanation of schroot "plain" and "directory" 
as you sent the email, as well as the devscripts wiki page which talks 
about setting up a chroot using "mk-deb-chroot".

Yesterday when I ran the scripts which pull in the soc files into ~/src 
directory, I didn't setup a chroot beforehand.
Was I supposed to setup a chroot first, in order to have an isolated, 
standardised root system/environment that can be modified by a non-sudo 
user?

So looking at "coriolis2-chroot" file and for making a non-chroot 
version, I should (file line numbers where functions occur in [] brackets) :
-[6-7] Ignore coriolis chroot creation
-[9-20] Ignore the /tmp/brokenproxy section
-[22-45] Ignore debootstrap, systemd userdb, nssdatabase
-[47-55] Ignore fstab config
-[57-77] Ignore schroot config for coriolis
-[80-100] Install/Remove packages needed for coriolis
-[102-118] Ignore account creation
-[120-151] Compile/Install yosys, coriolis2 (removing schroot statements)
-[153-157] Setup environment vars for coriolisenv
-[159-177] Compile/Install alliance
-[179-198] Compile/Install alliance-check-toolkit

Just giving "mk-deb-chroot" a read, I noticed lines 25-30, 57-62, 69-75, 
79-88, would crash the script (as they are not valid commands, or 
continued by backslashes, or encapsulated by quotes).

Was it used by anyone yet? Also it has reference to supporting Arch 
Linux (lines 39-41), must be have been an experimental script.
I'd need to rework this one before running it as well.
