Can I makepkg only 1 pkg in a PKGBUILD with split packages?
Hello,
How can I build only 1 of the split packages in a PKGBUILD file, without editing the PKGBUID file?
Is there or will there be a command line option for makepkg to only build 1 pkg in a split pkgs PKGBUILD?
My situations is:
I have a self-compiled kernel and I want to use virtualbox (for retouching holiday pics with photoshop). This means that the virtualbox module provided by Arch (pacman -S virtualbox-module) will not work and so I have to build this myself. But since pacman-3.3 virtualbox-module and virtualbox-ose are inside the same PKGBUILD.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

The build() function contains the code to build all packages. You can remove the packages you don't want to build from the pkgname array, but as the build() is shared between all packages, it will build them anyways.

yes it is... but given that most of the time is spent in the build() step, I doubt it will save much time for most packages.
