Emm... Because I don't want to download those large source files when building, and I don't want to add additional lines to my pacman.conf. Anyway I think this should have the same reason as the fake packages in aur; they give users a shortcut for achieving what they feel better.
Btw. I'm not sure if it's possible to add a directory instead of a file to "NoExtract", OTOH after downloading the PKGBUILD a user who doesn't want to install everything, easily could edit the package build, either before running makepkg or e.g. continuing with yaourt. Maybe your "dummy" offends https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_User_Guidelines. Regards, Ralf PS: That reminds me that I still need to replace a long comment by a link and that I again need to inform a maintainer about a mistake, regarding the git version s/he should use. IOW we sometimes make mistakes, so there might be already duplicated packages and/or empty packages provided by AUR, but I guess this should not continue. However, perhaps I misunderstand the guidelines.
