This should be done for both $BUILDDIR/src and $BUILDDIR/pkg . For split pkgs it would be better to have $BUILDDIR/pkg/$pkgbase/$pkgname . Using $BUILDDIR/pkg creates confusion when makepkg is running on two separate PKGBUILDs and one of the generated package ends up having files of another. I had this issue while compiling both grub2 (split pkg) and grub2-efi-x86_64 simultaneously with builddir set. grub2 compile finished first and the grub2-{common,bios,efi-i386} pkgs were created properly. But after that grub2-efi-x86_64 ended up with the files $BUILDDIR/pkg/<grub2-efi-x86_64 files> , $BUILDDIR/pkg/grub2-{common,bios,efi-i386}/* .

@Keshav I think you don't get my point.What I mean is to have a BUILDDIR structure like

$BUILDDir/$pkgname
|--src
|--pkg

or for split pkgbuids

$BUILDDIR/$pkgbase
|--src
|--pkg

I second the proposition of techlive. Currently, if you have BUILDDIR uncommented in /etc/makepkg.conf, some packages will fail to build after building other packages because some archives can not be extracted, as is the case with 'nvidia-utils' after having built 'nvidia'. To get around this, you have to wipe the build dir, which is annoying.

Have to wait till next release maybe 4.1.0 for this.
