[SOLVED] How to create uncompressed packages
Is there a way to convince makepkg to create uncompressed packages. I often tweak an official package or build from one the AUR and it takes a lot of time to compress the package that will be immediately uncompressed for installation. I would like sometimes to be able to create uncompressed packages (just tar-ed packages).

That seems to work although makepkg warn you about about a non valid package extension. But this apparently gives a tar-ed package accepted by pacman.

That warning will disappear with pacman-3.5.
