Force makepkg NOT to uncompress source files
As subject says: is there a way to tell makepkg not to uncompress source files? I need to do so manually because the source package occupies more than 1GB (compressed) and I don't want to waste too much disk space.

makepkg 3.0 supports the noextract=() array to do just this. noextract should contain the filenames (not urls) that are not to be extracted

Re: Force makepkg NOT to uncompress source files
Yes, I knew... I meant "until it's released in current".
However thank you for the tip.
