EXPORT option, bad behaviours

[mattia-b89]

if I set EXPORT=1 and EXPORTDIR="/some-dir/"
yaourt saves also some source file other than final package & needs write permission otherwise fails
e.g. for yaourt installation is saved yaourt-1.8.1.tar.xz & yaourt-1.8.1-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

if I set EXPORT=2
yaourt saves only the final package & doesn't need write permission since it is asked with a sudo prompt
e.g. for yaourt installation is saved yaourt-1.8.1-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

@mattia-b89 For the first part of the issue - do you also have EXPORTSRC set?

[mattia-b89]

@f2404 no. Because I don't want source files exported, so EXPORTSRC would be =0, that is the default options; am I wrong?

Same issue for me (Ver.1.8.1):

I want all aur packages built by yaourt to be placed into directory /foo while pacman will still cache its official packages into /var/cache/pacman. So setting PKGDEST for pacman is not an option.

Thus I set EXPORT=1 and EXPORTDIR=/foo and EXPORTSRC=0 (no source pacakges needed).

Problem: Source files downloaded during pkgbuild.sh are stored in /foo

I think this is because pkgbuild.sh defines variable SRCDEST=/foo, as can be seen here:

$ ls -1 /foo

Any idea on how to achieve what I want?

In #4 they suggest to override PKGDEST in yaourtrc instead of enabling EXPORTDIR. I think this issue duplicates #4
