Hrm... "rm -r src/" is less keystrokes than "--clearsource" and an alias of the form makepkg='rm -r src/; makepkg' would work. I want other peoples opinions here. Is it worth adding this option? I never strike the issues mentioned because I always build using the Arch devtools scripts and so even if my PKGBUILD is not reentrant, there is no issue. I think we can just close that bug report with the suggestion of using an alias. Allan
