hi pacman developers, i currently have to `makepkg' a huge package (go-hg) again and again. since compression takes very long (and pacman can handle uncompressed archives very well), i implemented an option to makepkg that skips the compression of the (tar)archive. this speeds-up my workflow enormously.
btw, this option might be useful in packages like yaourt as well.. if you find this patch useful, feel free to include it :) thanks for developing this great package manager! cheers, chressie
