I changed these in /etc/makepkg.conf to bz2 variants ages
ago and assumed that the resulting packages would be bzip2
compressed. When I double checked the packages they were
still only gzip compressed even though the extension was
tar.bz2. Everything works so I didn't pick it up but I'd be

The current code is a bit smarter and compresses correctly
depending on the extension.
Ah cool, I presume this is in your Git repo?
If so, do you think your current git repo is stable
enough to give
Plus a couple of other minor points. Qt daily snapshots are only
available via rsync (and tarballs) so I added _rsyncroot and
_rsyncmod awareness to makepkg.

Just a suggestion. If this was the last line in /etc/makepkg.conf

And if everyone has different functions in makepkg.local then PKGBUILDs
become non-transferable across users. Bad!
That is vaguely possible if someone tried hard enough to write
non-conforming

Just on this particular point I have about 20Gb of VCS source
