Add --needed option to makepkg
Simply add the option to pass the --needed flag to pacman when using -i with makepkg. When using makepkg in scripts, particularly for git packages with the new version functions and not just a date, this can save disk io and time instead of reinstalling. This would mostly be useful with the --noconfirm option. Signed-off-by: wgiokas <1007380@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
