That's actually false. As Dan said, ArchLinux users are not the only ones using makepkg.
I understood that, yes.
Even if this weren't the case - makepkg is INTENDED to be used elsewhere. makepkg and pacman are brothers. It's hard to use pacman without makepkg and hard to use makepkg with pacman.
And this too. Sorry, guys, I certainly was _not_ trying to be difficult, here. I must have gotten totally confused about the train of thought on this topic. I concede all points to Dan & Aaron.
