Ever since watching a friend have his entire /usr deleted by

I always create PKGBUILD's for stuff I need to install. Event
it is a tiny one shot thing. And the fact that it
automatically will run install script in contained sandbox is
one of the major decision factors here (even placing in $home
can destroy your home if makefile author is sloppy enough)
Seeing as I'm typing this from my newly set-up Arch64
installation, I suspect I might go down that route too =)
Btw, compltely off-topic, do you have any recomendations for an
AUR helper?
I got used to yaourt when it was basically the only option :) I
don't even know what others are to be honest P)
