[arch-general] Any suggestions on frequently rebuilding a git package?

[XeCycle]

Many thanks to all of you, I'm trying them out.

So the point is to never clean the code tree, nor cleaning those
compiled objects.

However I think re-configuring is not always needed, which results in
lots of rebuilding.  So It's better to decide myself when it's needed?

I already did it.

Well, this is my PKGBUILD-git.proto:

    43	  #
    44	  # BUILD HERE
    45	  #
    46	  ./autogen.sh
    47	  ./configure --prefix=/usr
    48	  make

Do you mean commenting 46 & 47?
