makepkg in /tmp
Is it possible to have makepkg do the compiling in /tmp? I cannot find a config setting or option in makepkg.conf or the man page.

Re: makepkg in /tmp
iirc, packer is doing this in /tmp.

Re: makepkg in /tmp
that's a good point. I had an eye on this too...maybe it is the path of SRCDEST.

It might, but I'd expect that to be mentioned in the comment of the variable then. But I can try it nonetheless.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not too fond of the gazillion different front-ends and replacements for pacman and co... Only clyde has managed to get into my "tool set"

Re: makepkg in /tmp
Does clyde have a special directory where it does compilation? if so you can mount --bind it to /tmp. For local packages though I don't know, best bet is creating a bash wrapper to mount --bind the directory to /tmp.
Ah, good taste! What a dreadful thing! Taste is the enemy of creativeness.

Re: makepkg in /tmp
what stops you from extracting the tarball in /tmp and run makepkg there?

Nothing, it's just that I have a folder in which I hold my packages and I'll probably forget sometimes to copy back the stuff from /tmp and such, but I guess I could script a solution. I was just wondering whether makepkg could do this itself.
@lucke: indeed, but I'm talking about manually building modified PKGBUILDS.

Re: makepkg in /tmp
There is no option in makepkg to do this. Feel free to file a feature request or (even better) provide a patch!
