Details

Summary and Info:
Creating a source package with makepkg --source results in the current user as owner instead of root.
Creating a binary package results in root as the owner.

Steps to Reproduce:
* Ensure fakeroot is included in BUILDENV array in /etc/makepkg.conf
* Change to a directory of a PKGBUILD
* makepkg --source
* tar tvfJ some-package-1.0-1.src.tar.xz

I think if fakeroot in included in BUILDENV array in /etc/makepkg.conf, fakeroot should also be used for building source packages.
This task depends upon

Thoughts, Allan? I do agree that source packages should probably have a generic UID/user and GID/group which is usually root:0.root:0, rather than pulling details off the users' system.

Agreed that this is something that we should be doing.
