I disagree, so therefore I will not make it run in build().

Partial upgrades are always unsupported! In case one starts installing upgrades without using pacman one should be aware of that pacman can not track them anymore. Furthermore pacman does not even complain about that it just assumes files to be unchanged which in this case is absolutely okay.

The flaw in your way is that when steamcmd updates itself, the files will then no longer be tracked by pacman in the way you want it to. The reason I did it the way in steam.install was because I didn't want to have pacman be responsible for tracking files that can change or be removed.

? My initial problem was that steamcmd was run as root in the .install file which led to /root/Steam being created. Therefore a whole dir was not being properly tracked by pacman which should not be located their anyway. Running it in the PKGBUILD makes sure that it is not run by root (since this is prohibited) and pacman can track the created files. Furthermore the newly crafted .install file helps organize and secure game builds to come. The error log residing under ~/.local/share/Steam/logs/stderr.txt is now just a minor problem.

Which doesn't solve your initial problem.

I managed to achieve this by running "steamcmd.sh +quit" in the build() function. In addition it also lets pacman track most of the files which previously were not. Though with one minor flaw: The initial build log is still put into the users home directory.

Since I'm on vacation next week and am doing things in preparation for my absence, this will be put off for the moment. What my plan is to read into the steamcmd "ConVars" and to just simply change this package to save the logs and other related things into /var/lib/steamcmd/. If possible, of course.

I got that but the location is just one variable which I set for my own personal use. It was not meant to be a copy and pasty solution.

I'm still putting my foot down that I'm not going to install it into /srv. Sorry.

I would be interested whether you think something like this makes sense [1]. Please feel free to critizise whatever you want. [1] https://gist.github.com/Edenhofer/b955b774820914cc7a2c
