Details

srcpac -S <packagename> will give corruption errors on packages previously built with it.

reason: Built packages get moved to
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/ and differs in md5sums from /var/lib/pacman/<repo-tree>/<pkgname>/desc

suggestion: Md5sums aren't really necessary for locally built packgages. Maybe append an additional flag to -S that would take users input for the desired package, compare if the package was built in /var/lib/srcpac/, and insert it into a syntax that would make pacman upgrade. Something like pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/$userinput*. Else echo the failure message back to the user.
Additionally, user specified groups(kde,gnome,etc.)would have to be dealt with as well.
This task depends upon
