AUR wants sudo to build package,But DONT want sudo installed in ARCH!

Hi,
I am building many packages from AUR as root with (--asroot) option.the reason is,
some sources asks for sudo passwd!but I dont want to install sudo anyways!(remembers Ubuntu!).
see for eg:

[prakash@myhost midori]$ makepkg -s
==> Making package: midori 0.0.17-1  (Wed Apr 30 08:44:27 IST 2008)
==> Checking Runtime Dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

    #1) Respect the privacy of others.
    #2) Think before you type.
    #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

Password:

Is there any solution?I have root passwd.so,Is there any configuration option by  which this dialog asking for root passwd instead of sudo?

thank you!
waiting...:)

Then use "makepkg" without the -s.  Look at the needed dependencies and install them as root.

pacman -U --asdeps
^thanks for this!
But with 'makepkg -s' ,not every package requests sudo permission .Is this that sudo is very popular in arch community?

No, it is just some packages do not need to install dependencies.  If you look at the midori PKGBUILD you are trying to build, sudo is not mentioned everywhere.

makepkg is made to use sudo. If you don't want to use it, then you're doing it wrong.

This is not ubuntu, installing sudo isn't going to whack out your system. It's just a binary.

It's just another deviation from the much touted 'Arch way'. Just install sudo and forget about it and ask for some revision of the HowTos instead.
