Their implementation includes (for the example of git) a bare repository alongside the PKGBUILD when running `makepkg --allsource`. About accessing the network during build()--it doesn't, though it will always try to run `git fetch` before build(), even if unnecessary. But if it doesn't succeed, everything is just jolly, so I don't see an issue with that. I personally think my design is better, but if checksums aren't a must, I see no real problems with their version. ~ Luke Shumaker _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.parabolagnulinux.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
