It's a hint that not every user likes 'auto-key-retrieve', but instead only manually retrieve keys, if it makes sense to the user to retrieve a key.
Thanks, I found it on topic, given Peter explicitly mentioned the option, and very helpful. I've added a note to the suggestion in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG#Use_a_keyserver
Thank you Ralph, for editing the Wiki.
I don't see a valid reason, to e.g. retrieve the keys that belong to an unknown signature of an email send via a mailing list, just to get automatically keys when building something from AUR.
Me neither, but https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman/Package_signing doesn't suggest `auto-key-retrieve'.
I didn't read all related Wiki pages, but seemingly non, including https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/makepkg mention Eli's hint, to use echo 'GNUPGHOME="$HOME"/.gnupg-makepkg' >> "$HOME"/.config/pacman/makepkg.conf Fortunately the manpage does. $ man makepkg | grep GNUPGHOME GNUPGHOME="/path/to/directory" I'm short in time and apart from this I'm uncertain, if it's worth to add this to the Arch Wiki.
