I must correct myself and have a from my view better idea for this.

I suggest a new option "-n" (or "--namcap") which runs namacp after a successful 
build of a package. If "makepkg -cn" is used the symlink gets even deleted (or 
not created) and in the other cases it can stay at this position.

Another question: Is there a way to delete this symlink and his target in one 
step on the command line? Than this symlink could be a bigger help because you 
get remembered that there is a older package in your repo.

At the end i must say that this symlink is not a problem for me and there be 
advantages too so i can live with it. So please don't see my points as 
criticism.

See you, Attila
