So? They can remove the packages again after the build is complete (makepkg -r or preferably use devtools) and it's not like this is a another AUR package that requires like a 20 hour build and can only be done on a machine with at least 42 cores and 5TB of ram. It just requires a download and some more disk space which seems like a perfectly fine tradeoff if the alternative is to maintain two PKGBUILDs (one for each python version). > - It doesn't seem possible to put the make-depends inside the > `pakages_<pkgname>()` function, isn't it? Building only certain split packages is no longer supported since commit e8deba3b87784ca14c9afc908046f36a3ad7578c. This will be part of the next pacman version >=4.3 so even if it was possible this would be pointless.
