[Solved]Locating files for installed package from AUR

I installed cgminer from AUR.
Under packages, I can see the file layout:

    etc/
    etc/cgminer.conf
    etc/conf.d/
    etc/conf.d/cgminer
    usr/
    usr/bin/
    usr/bin/bitstreams/
    usr/bin/bitstreams/COPYING_fpgaminer
    usr/bin/bitstreams/fpgaminer_top_fixed7_197MHz.ncd
    usr/bin/cgminer
    usr/lib/
    usr/lib/systemd/
    usr/lib/systemd/system/
    usr/lib/systemd/system/cgminer.service
    usr/share/
    usr/share/cgminer/
    usr/share/cgminer/api-example.c
    usr/share/cgminer/api-example.php
    usr/share/cgminer/api-example.py
    usr/share/cgminer/miner.php

Where can I find the build information, so that I can update my local copy of the package to the latest version released by the developer Luke Jr?
Specifically, I'm looking for the PKGBUILD file.

The PKGBUILD is the script that is used to build the package... it doesn't get included in the package itself.  If you want to make modifications to the PKGBUILD, you need to download the source tarball again from the AUR.

I'm confused by this post - what are you trying to do?

cgminer is in community, so you can update normally with pacman.  If you want the most recent changes, cgminer-git is in the aur.  The PKGBUILD can be downloaded from the AUR website like any other aur package.

(edit: crossposted with the above which beat me to it.)
