Hello together,

since the new pacman a makepkg run creates a symlink to the package file
in the
directory of the PKGBUILD. Example:

# ls -l *.gz
opera-snapshot-10.60-6378.2ah-i686.pkg.tar.gz ->
/server/work/archlinux/repo/opera-snapshot-10.60-6378.2ah-i686.pkg.tar.gz

My differences to makepkg.conf.pacnew be this:

MAKEFLAGS="-j2"
CFLAGS="-march=i686 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
BUILDENV=(fakeroot !distcc !color !ccache)
OPTIONS=(strip !docs libtool emptydirs zipman purge)
PKGDEST=/server/work/archlinux/repo
PACKAGER="Attila<SysAdmin@hunnen>"
PKGEXT='.pkg.tar.gz'

[/server/work is a cifs mount point]

Have i overseen something in the makepkg.conf to control this or does no
one
have this problem ... or is this a new feature which have to be so?

New feature.   If PKGDEST is set, it creates a symbolic link to the packages
in the working directory.  I think the idea was that most of the time you
will want to "pacman -U<pkg>" at the end of the build and that save you
typing the whole PKGDEST path.

Wouldn't those who want to do that do a makepkg -i? The thing about
leaving a symbolic link is that the next time you do pacman -Sc its
still there. Scripting removal of dead links is dead simple though, so
not a problem for me.


Possibly... I do not use "makepkg -i" as I use "makepkg -sr" so it removed the makedepends that will be unneeded in the future. Using "makepkg -c" clean up the dangling symlinks.
