DetailsHello,
Every now and then, some clueless user comes to irc complaining that makepkg couldn't find a file included in the source package -- because they downloaded only the pkgbuild. It may help if the link labelled "PKGBUILD" lead to an html page which had the pkgbuild inside <pre> tags, with a big fat warning at the top - to download the tarball, not just the pkgbuild. |
This task depends upon

We're Arch Linux, not Windows. Users using the AUR should be aware of how PKGBUILDs and makepkg(1) work. Note that adding such a thing will also break a lot of (all?) AUR helpers (not that I insist on not breaking them - they actually shouldn't use the preview PKGBUILD at all).
