I'm sorry for not explaining. Arch builds out of source with a new working copy
that is checked out (or svn up) updated by the script. The build script operates
in any directory you put the build script in. (the build script is named
PKGBUILD in Arch) If there are any patches, they go in the directory with the
PKGBUILD. Take for example kdenetworkmanager (what I'm working on now)

I just create a directory trinity-app-kdenetworkmanager (it could just a easily
be named 'anything') and put the PKGBUILD script in it. Running 'makepkg' then
creates a /pkg and /src directory under the directory with the PKGBUILD:

trinity-app-kdenetworkmanager
  - PKGBUILD
  \-pkg   (where the finished files are copied for packaging)
  \-src   (where the svn source gets downloaded -- eg.)
    \- knetworkmanager
      \- .svn
      \- admin
      \- cmake
      \- knetworkmanager-0.8

  So when I'm talking about deleting the source directory, I'm just talking
about deleting my working copy in trinity-app-kdenetworkmanager/src above and
pulling a fresh source. In the case of this problem on this one box, I have
probably built with the same source 10 times, so I just remove the src directory
and copy the directory from my pristine source tree into the working
directory/src dir.

  So I guess you could say that this is building in source in a working copy :)
 Originally I had started out building out of source using using the full svn
tree where the PKGBUILD was place in the tree (i.e. applications/kdenetwork)
where makepkg would then create a src for building out of code. However, this
doesn't meet the Arch standard of the PKGBUILD script being self-contained and
automatically retrieving the source-code for you. So after I got things figured
out enough to get things going, I went back and re-wrote the PKGBUILD scripts to
be Arch standards compliant :)

  I'll check this box out again after I'm finished working with knetworkmanager.
