makepkg split package question.

I was making today a custom kernel using the kernel26 PKGBUILD file. This files creates three (3) packages. kernel26, kernel26-headers, kernel26-firmware. While packaging kernel26-headers the power went down. I started again with makepkg but it complained for the presence of the packet kernel26-xxxxx.pkg.tar.gz and suggested -f option to build the package again. Is this behavior "correct"? kernel26-xxxxx.pkg.tar.gz was successfully builded before the power loss. Is there an option for makepkg to build the remaining packages?

Given the build was completed, "makepkg -Rf" will just repackage all packages.

I read man makepkg at least 3 times. I can swear the -R wasn't there before... :P:P

-R, --repackage
           Repackage contents of the package without rebuilding the package. This is useful if you forgot a depend or install file in your PKGBUILD
           and the build itself will not change.

I think that I should go to sleep right now...

Thanks you Alan.
