Avoid makepkg to let src/ directory after updating the sums
This has potential to incur unintended/unwanted side effects... I don't think this should be the default. You could potentially look at $BUILDDIR/src beforehand and only pass -c if the dir doesn't exist beforehand, but I'm not sure we want to play that game.
I don't see what kind of unintented/unwanted side effects this can occur. Unless you speak about --asroot. Is the following code could avoid us of those effects ?
export BUILDDIR=$(mktemp --directory -t updpkgsums.XXXXX) makepkg --clean
Sorry for not being clear. My gripe is with the --clean flag. I'm strongly disagree with the idea that we should assume the user doesn't want their possibly large and already compiled build directory wiped out.
