How about "makepkg -C" instead? It's reasonably short and fast to write, and if an even shorter alias is desired, that is possible too.

There is a reason that "make clean" turned out to be a good idea instead of manually removing files. If nothing else, it can be used to reduce the chance of deleting the wrong files.

OK... here is the plan. @Lukas: Add the -C flag and call the long option "--cleanbuild", and I will accept that. I'm fairly sure we always delete $pkgdir now that the package() function is enforced, so this is doing a clean build. Allan
