Let pacman,makepkg can separate download and install
In gentoo, I could create a process to download, and anther to compile and install.
I found in ArchLinux, I could only wait all things download, then start to install? If there haven't any plan, I'll try to make a util to download the data at first.

Re: Let pacman,makepkg can separate download and install
Thanks. I got a hint.
For example, I want to download subversion.
I could
cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg
wget -c `pacman -Sp subversion`But, does the makepkg have such function? I mean download only, I found the '-o' option will download and extract.

...and -e is the --noextract option, so -oe is download but don't extract...
