You would also need to update the man page in doc/makepkg.8.txt, which still says that -e/--noextract makes the prepare() function not run. ( This patch caught my attention because we recently fixed the MSYS2 version of pacman to behave as specified in the man page: https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-pacman/issues/15 .) --David On Mon, Dec 14, 2015 at 5:56 AM, Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org> wrote:

Modifications made to the source before running with --noextract may alter the version string returned by pkgver(). Always run this function if present and check build status before proceeding. Fixes FS#46800.

Also run prepare() when --noextract is used (unless --noprepare is specified).
