Description:
have makepkg embed the pkgbuild as package!/.PKGBUILD, and when installed place as /var/lib/pacman/local/$pkgname-$pkgver

Additional info:
* would allow for quick rebuilds of packages by local users without the need to hunt down the PKGBUILD on svn2git or install abs
This task depends upon

Would also let you get PKGBUILDs from packages in testing that are not in abs

[testing] PKGBUILDs are in ABS... edit the config file.

Also, this does not seem like something that should be in makepkg.

I am implementing another solution - source package repositories.

Oh that sounds interesting... so you could do the equivalent of apt-get source?
Comment by Allan McRae (Allan) - Sunday, 26 July 2015, 03:54 GMT
That is the idea.

Not every pkg.tar.xz was built from a well-organized repo with source control, like ABS or AUR. And often people edit the PKGBUILD before building, but fail to document exactly how. In those cases, this would be useful for debugging and forensic purposes.
