Build fails with fakeroot so makepkg doesn't work

Hi,
I wrote a PKGBUILD to build gir-repository from svn (it's it the AUR), but it doesn't work if you have clutter installed and you use makepkg to build it, although it does work if you attempt to build it yourself. I investigated a little further and found that gir-repository doesn't build if you use fakeroot, which makepkg does use. Is there anyway to override the use of fakeroot, or some way to work around the problem?

man makepkg, look for the --asroot flag.

Yes, I thought of that and built the package that way, but it's really not the best solution to fixing the PKGBUILD so you don't have to build as root.

Re: Build fails with fakeroot so makepkg doesn't work

The scanner script used in the build dies. This appears to be the same issue that used to happen when trying to build on Ubuntu, which was due to a libselinux bug.
