From 508b360c24ddfdb79f66cc14b197988a829b0ecd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Allan McRae Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2011 14:32:42 +1000 Subject: makepkg: allow specifying alternative build directory Add a BUILDDIR variable (which can be overridden in the environment) to specify an alternative location for building the package. This is useful for people who want to build on a different filesystem for improved performance (e.g. tmpfs).
