AUR without base-devel is not supprted. But installing fakeroot allows to install simple packages such as -bin,-hook without base-devel.

Sorry about that! You're right! I will send a notification to the project. Thanks.

I think you wanted the pacman project, this is packaging only.

FWIW, pacman/libmakepkg-dropins#2 (comment 247731) said,...

For #42 and linux#2 (linux!3)......

The repo mentions that...

This isn't the right approach and also horrible to keep track of the dropins upstream....

@allan what was your plan here?

That looks nice. What is the planned/intended way to distribute these now to the package maintainers?

Check out the libmakepkg_dropins repo where that is fixed.

@allan any thoughts on the questions in my previous comment in this thread?

Worth noting ld.gold is on the chopping block. Although, we're building from git so it should be around for a fair while yet...

That's a weak argument since -j2 is also not the default value.

Commented options like that (someimtes) implies what the default value in a config is. I don't think we should do this to avoid confusion.
