I wonder if yaourt can be set up to always use ABS (build form source) for certain packages (so they are built from sources even when performing full system upgrade: yaourt -Syua).

Something like BuildPkgs list in /etc/yaourtrc would come in handy, but I can’t find anything like that.

Can anyone think of a way to do it?

Cheers.

    You can do a workaround: you should install customizepkg from AUR. Yaourt can use customizepkg so if you’ve a file named foo in /etc/customizepkg.d/ package foo will built from source. If you don’t want to change foo‘s PKGBUILD /etc/customizepkg.d/foo can be an empty file.

    So if you don’t want change the PKGBUILDs you only need touch /etc/customizepkg.d/package-build-from-source to every package which you want to build from source.
