Description:
Current PKGBUILD fails with build error "mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/dscholl/devel/abs/r/pkg//usr/share/R/docs//html': file exists".
Would maintainer consider adding "options=('!makeflags')" to PKGBUILD for users who build their own packages, to help the subset who have SMP hardware and use "-j2" by default?


Steps to reproduce:
Only tested on i686. Build r 2.6.0-1 via "makepkg" on dual-processor dual-core Xeon with MAKEFLAGS="-j2". If "options=('!makeflags')" is added to PKGBUILD, build error does not occur. I suspect this is a race condition, so it may be tricky to reproduce on other hardware. It is reproducible on my system.
This task depends upon

IMO PKGBUILDs should work with the default makepkg.conf. If users make changes to it its their responsibility to keep the PKGBUILD working.

Well, I see this as not a bug, but does this still happen with r-2.7.0?

Sorry, I cannot test for this issue with r-2.7.0. Unhappily, I had to replace Arch with OpenSuSE on that dual-dual Xeon machine at work. The reason I was building r was to set the "--enable-R-shlib" config switch needed for my python-rpy package. This switch is set in the r-2.7.0 Arch binary, so python-rpy users like myself no longer need to build a customized r. I just thought that "options=('!makeflags')" would make the r PKGBUILD work for a broader user base, including those with the default makepkg.conf.

Should this be closed?
