Description:
The makechrootpkg utility from the devtools package does not support the -e switch of the pacman (use existing sources).

Additional info:
* package version: 20150228-1


Steps to reproduce:
1. Install the devtools package from the official repo.
2. Prepare the clean chroot dir as described in the arch-wiki.
3. Get a PKGBUILD file for a some package.
4. Run makepkg --nobuild in a dir containing the PKGBUILD file to extract a sources.
5. Run makechrootpkg -r /chroot/dir -- -e.
@ step #5 makechrootpkg first clean a source dir and then run the makepkg utility with the -e switch and with... the empty source dir.
So I propose my patch to fix this issue.
   add-noextract-support.patch (1.7 KiB)
   PKGBUILD (0.9 KiB)
This task depends upon

Why do you need this? The whole point of makechrootpkg is hermetic builds. Allowing tainted build directories circumvents this.

I don't get it either, but patches should typically be sent to the arch-projects mailing list.
