The sources are put into ./src and the binary package is in ./pkg. It looks like these settings can be overridden in /etc/makepkg.conf. You probably should use a directory to store your PKGBUILD files other than your home directory. Most of the time, you will want a package build directory, and each PKGBUILD file should be in a subdirectory under the one you selected for all your package builds. Example: I have my package builds in ~/build. Under that is a subdirectory for each PKGBUILD I want to build, e.g. ~/build/svox-pico-git/, where I have my PKGBUILD file for that package, which I hope to build as soon as I figure out why I get very strange errors only when I use makepkg to build it. :) Using this clean directory structure for each package makes it much easier to find the sources for each package and to apply your patches. I've never tried just putting PKGBUILD in my home directory and building it there to see what would happen, but it can't be easy to sort out if something goes wrong. Hope this helps a litttle, as I'm lacking in experience myself. ~Kyle
