yaourt -Sb some git package

Recently found this nice app, and liked it. But that was not very pleasant that after building the git package the source was deleted or something.. Anyway i should clone the git again sad

Is this to be a ordinary deal or just something wrong with my configuration?

Thanks.

Re: yaourt -Sb some git package

I think that's normal for yaourt.  Create a builds/<package> subdirectory in your home directory.  Download the PKGBUILD, .install, etc files to it, and run makepkg and pacman -U manually.

Re: yaourt -Sb some git package

Thanks for reply. That's how i did before.
I think it'll be nice for yaourt to create abs structure like this

package/
package/PKGBUILD

I wonder why not to use in such a way? I think that can be very nice.

If /var/abs/local/ is writable for your user, then yaourt will keep all git/svn/cvs/ sources in /var/abs/local/yaourtbuild/package-git/ directory :-)
So the next build is faster.

Re: yaourt -Sb some git package

wain thanks! So maybe I'll do it writable.

wain: and you too smile


I'll be very happy, if the /var/abs/local for yaourt can be just optional, i.e. i use $HOME/abs/repos/yaourt
