Hi everyone. I just released a new project called pacman-venv. This is a tool that allows you to create virtual environments for Pacman. It works similarly to Python's virtualenv. You can find the project's AUR page here and the source code here.
I did it using a systemd nspawn container. I made my AUR helper as both an interesting scripting project and a proof of concept for myself. https://github.com/Cody-Learner/aurch
JuNest https://github.com/fsquillace/junest looks very complete and good, though I dislike the approach of having to download or build an image. It would be nice to be able to do stuff like clone my filesystem (already ZFS) and branch an environment off that instantly.
Conty https://github.com/Kron4ek/Conty looks interesting, but also relies on an image, here squashfs. Mentioned in this comment along with some more options: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/xq09nf/comment/iqdigoe/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
