Thanks, I’m aware of that option; but generally, your PKGBUILD would be much more useful if you adopted the common practices by default; if people see the need to install to /usr/local, they can still do so manually, though it’s not recommended when using pacman. I agree that renaming binaries is awkward. But the better solution is to just declare the conflict and let people who use wtf decide how they deal with it. Installing to /usr/local isn’t any better than renaming: Consider someone manually «make installs» wtf at some point. In that case, their wtf installation will unexpectedly overwrite files owned by wmutils-git. This is unexpected since /usr/local should only ever contain things a user installed manually.

This currently installs wmutils into the /usr/local tree. Please don’t do this, the local tree is intended to be used by manually managed packages (cf. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_packaging_standards#Package_etiquette).

There's also an "opt" and "contrib" repository for wm-utils. The below PKGBUILD includes these: http://git.io/vZzWU
