Thank you

and my apologies for missing to read the man page before
sending the request to the mailing list.

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ man makepkg.conf | grep PKGEXT -A2
       PKGEXT=".pkg.tar.gz", SRCEXT=".src.tar.gz"
           Sets the compression used when making compiled or source packages. Valid suffixes are .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tar.xz, .tar.zst, .tar.lzo, .tar.lrz, .tar.lz4, .tar.lz and .tar.Z,
           or simply .tar to disable compression entirely.

Regards,
Ralf
