[solved] install without package

hi folks,

is there a way to install a package, without create the package, namely without package it ???

e.g. compiling the package dropbox from AUR I spend lot of time for compressing and creating the package .xz

now, because usually I don't need to keep the package on my system, I can install from AUR without creating its package ???

thanks

You don't have to compress the packages - I don't. You can also use e.g. gzip for faster compression. RTFM for details.
If you don't want to use PKGBUILDs, don't use Arch.

Re: [solved] install without package

Completely offtopic rant:
In your personal/professional/academic/other activities, do you also use multiple question marks??? Or do you reserve that particularly irritating habit just for us???

OK, rant over, please continue.

Just a friendly suggestion - do NOT do that in the future!

If you really want something to stand out, there's always BBCode.

Note: that applies to pretty much every forum I know, not only this one.
