What after aurbuild failure?

I found a problem with installing enigma_sdl with aurbuild (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … highlight=) but the real problem was what to do after aurbuild failure.

When I was making packages with makepkg, I could just change something and start over. But where is build package or sources when building with aurbuild?

Why when I try to build same package again - it downloads same stuff again?

Is there any way to let it store downloaded files in cache, as makepkg and pacman do?

Is there any way to find build package?

Have you check the man page? I believe there are options to do that.

-k, --keep-build-dir  keep the build directory if building fails

It will spit out the saved location and from there you can manually makepkg it once its fixed.
