[pacman-dev] [PATCH] makepkg: Place packages symlinks in build dir when DESTDIR is used

[Eric Bélanger]

When DESTDIR is used, symlinks to the packages will be put in the build directory.  This combines the convenience of a global package cache with the ease of having a package (i.e. a symlink) in the build directory for testing and installation purpose.
