I have the following settings: makepkg.conf PKGDEST=/home/gborzi/store/personal SRCDEST=/home/gborzi/store/sources ~/.config/aurgetrc package_directory= source_directory=/home/gborzi/store/lab/aurbuild discard_sources=false (generally I set this to true, but modified to false for the test) doing "aurget -Sb aurget" I get ~/store/sources/aurget ~/store/personal/aurget-2.4-1-any.pkg.tar.xz ~/store/lab/aurbuild/aurget/{aurget.install,pkg,PKGBUILD,src} that is to say, PKGDEST is the one given in makepkg.conf (and unchanged in aurgetrc), SRCDEST is the one given in makepkg.conf because I removed SRCDEST="$_srcdir" from line 434, build directory is the "source_directory" (given in aurgetrc) followed by package name. Feel free to ask for more test, this package is very useful to me and I'm happy to help.

Yeah, it was just a typo in the message. So, the build still happens in the build directory, and you get src and pkg folders there; it's just that that src folder is cached in $SRCDEST to be shared/reused right? How does your $SRCDEST look after building multiple packages? $SRCDEST/src/{foo,bar,baz} or $SRCDEST/{foo,bar,baz}? I'll try and continue testing and get this fixed soon. Sorry to pull that out from under you.

I have SRCDEST=/home/gborzi/store/sources in makepkg.conf and it works, that is to say makepkg downloads the sources in the given directory. You wrote that you have SCRCDEST=/home/patrick/Sources with too many 'C' in the variable name, is it a typo in the message or a typo in makepkg.conf?

gborzi, thank you for the comment; I know what you mean. In testing, I couldn't really follow how SRCDEST is to be used. If I put SCRCDEST=/home/patrick/Sources in makepkg.conf, then I manually build a package with makepkg, when I'm done I've got nothing in ~/Sources. I have in stead the usual ./{src,pkg} in the build directory as if i hadn't defined SRCDEST at all. Am I doing something wrong? In aurget, I artificially change SRCDEST to the $srcdir/$name where $srcdir comes from makepkg.conf (in your case) or aurgetrc (in my case) and name is the currently being built package. I thought this mimicked the default makepkg behavior and was really only added so that running makepkg -e (reuse sources) in an aurget process would work. I've been pretty pleased with the result myself; neatly saved sources in ~/Sources/foo where foo is the package. This seems to come from the simple fact that aurget cd's to $srcdir before extracting/building and not any SRCDEST setting... Based on your comment, I can see how this isn't entirely correct from a repsect-makepkg.conf standpoint, but since I can't get makepkg to do anything with SRCDEST (other than fail on -e if it's not set right...), I was (and am) unable to do proper testing. How should it work?

Hi brisbin33, there is an annoying behaviour in aurget 2.x: it doesn't save anymore the sources in SRCDEST (as specified in makepkg.conf). It's annoying to me because I have more than one computer so I prefer to share the source. I solved this problem by removing SRCDEST="$_srcdir" from line 434. Is it a bug or an intended behaviour?

Good move with the change of parameters to mimic pacman in aurget 2.x. Thank you once again.

Ah, damn typos! Thanks for letting me know, i'll get a new version out probably tonight.

Hi brisbin33, there is a small bug in aurget 2.0. The variable ignore_packages in aurgetrc is not used in the script, it checks against a variable named ignore_package (without the final s). Besides this, it's wonderful.
