built a pkg with yaourt as root, cancled half way, r there leftovers??

I built a package using yaourt as root, then realized i should do that as a normal user (as yaourt suggests) so i ^Ced out and started over as a normal user. Does this leave left over files somewhere?

Check under /tmp. Yaourt builds in its own subfolders under /tmp/yaourt/.

Oh ok, thanks! I guess, theoretically, if a build script has malicious code in it, it can modify who knows what anywhere else in the system so it's best to run yaourt as a normal user.

Pretty much. Yaourt uses /tmp/yaourt-$USER so for root it would be /tmp/yaourt-root

That's actually more accurate. I was thinking of /tmp/yaourt/user/, but you're right.

... and in case you were building a -git/hg/svn/cvs package, then there's probably stuff in /var/abs/local/yaourtbuild.

Indeed, there was stuff in /var/abs/local/yaourtbuild. Will yaourt automatically delete that eventually? Or do I need to remove them manually since I interrupted yaourt?
