makepkg: How can I pause the process and edit the source?

[Diiny]

I have been able to tweak omxplayer on my Raspbian OS and build it with success. I needed to stagger the short/long jump back/forwards.

But on my arch system, the only way I have found to successfully build omxplayer is with makepkg. I have tried it and have had success. But when I go and change the source code (found in the src directory) and run makepkg again, it copies the source again, overwriting my changes. Is there a way to pause makepkg after downloading the source to make changes, and then resume the build process? Or possibly a way to tell makepkg to use the source that is found locally?

I'm so close to where I want to be, but this last step is really trying my patience. Can anybody help me?

I found the following:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', ' ')PKGBUILD
A Bash script that contains the URL of the source code along with the compilation and packaging instructions.

You can create a patch so you dont have to replace the src all the time ( that is if i understood you correctly)

have a look at the flags for makepkg
