pkgver and pkgrel can be overridden in package functions. makepkg can't use the overridden values when doing the early check if a package file already exists. That means makepkg will silently delete the existing package file and generate a new one.

I am not sure about this... I am of the opinion that if you have to override pkgver in every package function, then your default value is wrong. With a better default pkgver, the check should detect at least one of your packages is already built and abort. Also, I really do not like the erroring out after all the packages have been built (although "makepkg -R" would save all that work). I think these conditions should be an error out early or not at all. Allan
