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?
New feature. If PKGDEST is set, it creates a symbolic link to the packages in the working directory. I think the idea was that most of the time you will want to "pacman -U <pkg>" at the end of the build and that save you typing the whole PKGDEST path.

Wouldn't those who want to do that do a makepkg -i? The thing about leaving a symbolic link is that the next time you do pacman -Sc its still there. Scripting removal of dead links is dead simple though, so not a problem for me.
