Consider this is the beginning of my efforts to deprecate mkaurball. Of of the pacman 4.2.0, mkaurball will be obsolete and will likely be replaced with a script which just yells at you to use makepkg instead. I'm confused. Would someone like to clear this up for me? I thought that mkaurball was becoming the favoured method of making source packages for the AUR? Wasn't it fairly recent that we switched from `makepkg --source` to `mkaurball`?
Mkaurball was a temporary way to improve the AUR between pacman releases. The makepkg script that comes with pacman 4.2.0 will contain the exact same functionality.
