makepkg: do not create symlinks in build directory
Setting PKGDEST and friends enables us to keep all built packages in a single
location.  Symlinking these files into the build directory creates unnecessary
clutter and requires clean-up in multiple places when removing old version.

The removal of the symlinks make the install of VCS packages fail:

        # retrieve filename
        unset builtpkgs builtdepspkgs
        for j in "${pkgsdepslist[@]}"; do
            unset builtpkg
            [[ $aurdevelpkgsAver ]] && depsAver="$aurdevelpkgsAver" || depsAver="$(GetJson "varvar" "$json" "Version" "$j")"
            GetBuiltPkg "$j-$depsAver" "$clonedir/${basepkgs[$i]}"
            [[ " ${aurdepspkgs[@]} " =~ " $j " ]] && builtdepspkgs+=($builtpkg) || builtpkgs+=($builtpkg)
        done

See also #461, which was implemented to also remove these symlinks leftover. A revamp might be needed here.

Adjusted in 620eff5 and c8ff58f.

Only pacman 5.1 compatibility has been added in master, cleaning code still needs to be reworked.

Is there an ETA for the pacman 5.1 release? I don't see a mention on pacman-dev

[rmarquis]

No ETA yet. Since pacman 5.0.2 is quite fresh, I don't expect it before a few months.

[rmarquis]

Some conditional check needs to be uncommented in c0bc632 to ensure full pacman 5.1 compatibility.

[rmarquis]

You can check the change log of the pacman git repo. There is very little changes relevant to pacaur usage.
