makepkg with custom dwm ends up installing the default package!

I have a directory where I edit the source of dwm and then run 'makepkg -efi' to build and install my own version.

I have been doing this for quite a while now, and everything worked fine.

Then a few days ago I installed the default dwm with pacman to show my freind what it looks like without the patches that I've applied.
I removed it with pacman afterward, but now when I run the pkgbuild in my customized dwm directory, it ends up installign the default package!

I had to go into the source and do a striaght 'make install' to get my custom binary installed again.

Does anyone know what's going on?

Are you sure that you did not miss the  "-e" there once and have re-extracted the original tarball?
