I know. I read that when making mine. I am wondering why that package deletes the source when it is done with it. It makes more sense to update the svn when you rebuild the package instead of redownloading the whole thing.
Right. You shouldn't delete your svn checkout after building the source. However, you should copy the source to a second directory. Do the build in that directory, to avoid polluting your checkout. That's how things are done in /usr/share/pacman/PKGBUILD-svn.proto. The code in that prototype also removes any build directory left from a previous run of makepkg. -- Chris
