The advantage to a script-based build -is that the work is only done once. Once you have the build script for a -package, makepkg will do the rest: download and validate source files, check -dependencies, configure the build-time settings, build the package, install the -package into a temporary root, make customizations, generate meta-info, and -package the whole thing up for \fBpacman\fP to use. +wish to build (known as a \fB\*(PB\fP).
