It sounds like you're trying to apply patches and edit the source which makepkg has downloaded instead of in a local git directory. At any rate here's my final (personal) PKGBUILD: http://ix.io/59W/sh PS: Please don't use pkgbase [1] "fontconfig" (this is not a split package, nor would you use this for split packages on the AUR) and please update the maintainer field.

If I change the url without deleting the cache, makepkg will complain about it is not a clone of the repository. There is nothing to do with prepare, I am talking about resetting before fetching (and I am not sure if makepkg cannot do this, although it is very likely that it cannot). `git reset` is for resetting current work directory to a commit so that git will not complaining about uncommit change due ty patches. `git clean` is for removing possible files introducing by patches (or the patch will fail). It is also very helpful to clean up build files no matter which build system the package is using, especially for build system like autotool where out-of-source build are always problematic and make clean/distclean may not enough. For pkgver(), I will try to figure out one scheme to use later. But since makepkg cannot automatically fetch the source for me and therefore I will have to do that myself, that's not my priority.

There is nothing preventing you from using `git --reset' in the `build()' function. You should use the `prepare()' function for patches. Also please don't use the date for the `pkgver()' as it is next to useless and should only be used if there are no other alternatives. PS: I don't understand why you're doing `git --reset' or `git -fdx' either.

And I am also not sure if makepkg support reset before fetching either, which is necessary for packages with patches.

No I mean changing url/branch/ref in PKGBUILD without removing srcdir of a previous build.

Earnest commented on 2013-04-12 14:24 (UTC)

I'm sorry, what exactly do you mean by "url switch"? Are you referring to branches? If that's the case you can use branches (fragments) by simply appending `#branch=<foobar>' to the source url.

I will NOT use the "new" cvs downloading method provided in pacman 4.1 since it doesn't support features like switch url. I am uploading a new PKGBUILD to fix the regression of updating package version though.

pacman 4.1 updated PKGBUILD: http://ix.io/58u
