It could be worth a developer diff'ing: * pacman::makepkg.conf and devtools::makepkg-x86_64.conf * pacman::pacman.conf and devtools::pacman*.conf

When trying to figure out my /etc/ vs /usr/share/devtools/ confusion with MAKEFLAGS, I saw these differ in more areas than I would have expected.

I don't know if any of the differences matter in the end, but I think it's nice they almost match, and I think it would be nicer if they only differ in areas where they need to.

They probably used to match better, and diverged in a few areas where they didn't need to.

The conf files in question do not get synced as frequently as pacman updates them. :) it's essentially a pristine copy of the unmodified makepkg.conf from the pacman package, and should never differ.

Some of the differences are certainly nitpicky. pacman just dropped "-fstack-protector-strong" since it's enabled by default. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/54736

Others might matter in some situations, like different options on DLAGENTS. (I'm assuming it's right to have file:// missing from devtools, talkinga bout the curl options.)

Huh, I was trying to think if this matters, since makechrootpkg explicitly verifies sources outside the chroot, but it does so by calling makepkg --config $copydir/etc/makepkg.conf

devtools gives package options "!optipng !upx".

devtools has a different comment for XferCommand and IgnorePkg.

Stuff like that.
