Right. You shouldn't delete your svn checkout after building the source. However, you should copy the source to a second directory. Do the build in that directory, to avoid polluting your checkout. That's how things are done in /usr/share/pacman/PKGBUILD-svn.proto. The code in that prototype also removes any build directory left from a previous run of makepkg. -- Chris
