Hi, I build Emacs from git quite frequently, about twice a month or so. However the PKGBUILD from AUR rebuilds everything each time, which takes too many time I think.  Perhaps Emacs is small, but I think there should be a way to prevent too many rebuilds --- is that possible?

yaourt has an option to compile vcs packages in a separate directory rather than the default /tmp directory. in this way, the download part in every recompile can be minimized. just fyi.
