[SOLVED] makepkg and svn: checkout a specific revision number

I'd like to know if there's a way to checkout a specific revision number using a "svn PKGBUILD".
I found a "--forcever" switch buried in the makepkg script: using it I can only force the pkgver tag to be set a given revision number of my choice, but the checkout is always the latest one.

--holdver is what you're looking for. Check the man page for details. While you're there, you can also read about the --forcever option, and how you're not really supposed to use it.
