I also agree on that. Building in a clean chroot has multiple advantages: * Mostly equal builds for everybody (until they are reproducible) * Less errors, as only, but all makedepends must be installed in the chroot * Less trashed archlinux installations because of makedependency installation * Devtools is even simpler to handle if you ask me I also do not understand why AUR helpers dont use devtools. It would give much better package quality. Maybe we should advice to use devtools more in the wiki page. Most people dont even know that is a single command to type. Pro tip: Include other AUR pkg deps like this: extra-x86_64-build -- -I aurdep.pkg.tar.xz ~Nico
