[arch-general] Why is it dangerous to run makepkg as root?

[Martti Kühne]

May I remind everyone that makepkg is a bash script.

Some might argue it's bloated and too long, while others might counter
that the discussion is going on way too long already and forking a
bash script for personal use would generally be an option.

I'd be glad if the devs kept things "generally" working. Thank you.

cheers!
