I think it is not hard to patch my local copy of makepkg with this pice of code :). May be I will do this if
I can to find a time ... I even did not install archlinux yet :-). I use crux ... I'll try.

Good day.
I'm going to compile all needed packages for archlinux. There are many source mirrors at the net not
only URLs from PKGBUILD. Usually it is "distfiles" dir from gentoo or freebsd. It contains sources for
their ports. I want use this sources.
How can I to make makepkg to look for source in my LAN mirrirs to get it first from there and only then
from PKGBUILD's url ?
For example in CRUX pkgmk.conf there is PKGMK_SOURCE_MIRRORS=(...) wich point to list of such mirrors. I
looking for the same in archlinux.

Hello,
you can use SRCDEST="/path/to/folder" option in makepkg.conf. makepkg
looks into this directory first and if there are no sources, it will
download them there.
This is not exactly what I looking for. In this case I should manually download sources to the SRCDEST
from my local mirrirs but I want automatic try to download the sources to SRCDEST from my list of URLs
where source can be found or not. If source tar ball can not be found at URLs from the list then source
should be downloaded from its true home page or location specified in PKGBUILD. CRUX's pkgmk can do this,
can makepkg ?
makepkg can not do this.
