File Description Permissions
/usr/local/bin/makepkg Get sources without security checks; Ask user whether to install missing deps automatically; Prompt whether to enforce package compilation without missing deps; Implement support for --getsource parameter (works with, and requires getsource command) 0755
/usr/local/bin/pacmankeycheck.sh Check age of Pacman PGP/GPG public key ring files and prompt updating them during pacman execution if they are too old (30 days). 0644
/usr/local/bin/pacman A simple wrapper which runs pacmankeycheck.sh and then your original pacman command. 0755
/usr/share/makepkg/source/git.sh Modified makepkg source file; allow use of additional git command parameters. 0644
/usr/share/makepkg/source.sh Modified makepkg source file; use shallow git repository cloning (parameter --depth 1) instead of cloning full git repository when downloading package source code with makepkg. This is useful with large packages when only the most recent files from them are wanted and full git repository cloning mode is not desired. 0644
