[SOLVED] Several questions about packer

Until now, I was building and updating my aur packages manually, now I am trying packer.
I have several question about it.

1. Where does packer store its files [PKGBUILDS, builded packages etc.]
2. Does packer automatically delete these files after successful build?
3. Does packer have its main configuration file?

Thanks,

makepkgconf='/etc/makepkg.conf'
usermakepkgconf="$HOME/.makepkg.conf"
pacmanconf='/etc/pacman.conf'

makepkg

All right, I did looked at packer's man page, but did not realized that makepkg will be the right think to look into, since packer is pacman's wrapper and so I was assuming that pacman.conf was the right place to look into.
Anyway,

Thanks very much, you just saved my day! :-)
