If KISS, then properly ;) Overriding a prep() function seems a bit ugly, totally manual extraction would be best I guess.
Mostly just a `tar xf filename', no big thing.
Except that if we move to totally manual extraction, every PKGBUILD currently existing would have to change - this becomes a bit more of a big thing now. ;) I like the 'noextract' option - there have been a couple packages I've built with .zip archives that, when auto-extracted, dumped their contents straight into $startdir/src which annoyed me 'cause then the extracted files got mixed in with the patches and whatnot - I could see a noextract making things a bit clearer here - "noextract" the zip, then in the build() properly extract it all to a seperate subdir. -- Travis
