[SOLVED] yaourt doesn't save build packages in cache directory

Hi,

I use yaourt to do full system upgrades and installing packages from AUR. I configured it with "EXPORT=2" which should save packages into pacmans cache directory under /var/cache/pacman/pkg, but it doesn't. It worked before, but stopped working around January 2016, and I have no idea why. Packages for "google-chrome" are in the cache till version 48, created at 01/31/2016.

Here are my config files:

#    yaourtrc  - Configuration for yaourt
#
#   See yaourtrc(5) for more information
#

# REPOSITORIES

# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

Re: [SOLVED] yaourt doesn't save build packages in cache directory

try putting them into a different directory just to see if the operation is actually working?

# Build
EXPORT=1            			# Export to 1: EXPORTDIR or PKGDEST
                    			# 2: pacman cache (as root)
#EXPORTSRC=0        			# Need EXPORT>0 to be used
EXPORTDIR="/path/to/different/directory/"     # If empty, use makepkg's configuration (see makepkg.conf)

Strange enough ... know it works again without any changes on my side
