Going over `aurvcs.7` makes me wonder why `aur-srcver` makes any attempts to limit effects of sourcing PKGBUILDs, when it runs `makepkg` anyway... and `libmakepkg` functions could be called instead. e.g....

Another observation is that `aur-srcver` can't take input from `stdin`. I guess this was an oversight when migrating scripts to use `-`.

One detail is that `pacman -Syu` commands in `aur-build` are always elevated with `sudo`. With a user-writable `--dbpath`, this is however not necessary. The elevation command could be exposed through...

`PACMAN_AUTH` was implemented with #896 Specifically, `PACMAN_AUTH=fakeroot` can be used with a user-writable `--dbpath`.

I suspect in 2.x `aur build -c --pkgver` would install the `makedepends` both on the host and in the container?

Note you can also just subscribe to email notifications for the packages you use (I guess this only scales to a certain amount of packages). One approach is to save...
