Hello together, since the new pacman a makepkg run creates a symlink to the package file in the directory of the PKGBUILD. Example: # ls -l *.gz opera-snapshot-10.60-6378.2ah-i686.pkg.tar.gz -> /server/work/archlinux/repo/opera-snapshot-10.60-6378.2ah-i686.pkg.tar.gz My differences to makepkg.conf.pacnew be this: MAKEFLAGS="-j2" CFLAGS="-march=i686 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" BUILDENV=(fakeroot !distcc !color !ccache) OPTIONS=(strip !docs libtool emptydirs zipman purge) PKGDEST=/server/work/archlinux/repo PACKAGER="Attila <SysAdmin@hunnen>" PKGEXT='.pkg.tar.gz' [/server/work is a cifs mount point] Have i overseen something in the makepkg.conf to control this or does no one have this problem ... or is this a new feature which have to be so? See you, Attila
