Thank you Chirantan :) yes, the wanted history is in /var/log/pacman.log, there's nothing for me to do. Yes, makepkg --log does work, but I don't need it. No, PKGDEST in /etc/makepkg.conf won't help me. If I use yaourt PKGDEST is ignored, even if it wouldn't be ignored, I want to have a separated directory for linux-rt packages automatically. I don't want to run makepkg -s and pacman -U, with or without setting the PKGDEST variable. Perhaps another tool takes care about PKGDEST, sure it does work if I run makepkg -s instead of yaourt. To manage all the AUR packages I need a tool, yaourt or any other available tool or something I'll have to write myself. Gaetan's hint to use `pacman -Syu --print --print-format %n` will help me to write a wrapper, to install linux-headers first, but I still have no solution to install linux-rt-headers first, since they're in AUR.
