[FEATURE - UI] Change builddir location #307

Closed polarathene closed 3 years ago

polarathene commented 6 years ago

Some packages require more disk space than my tmpfs can provide(UnrealEngine4 is one of them, requiring close to 100GB). Is it possible to support changing build dir in octopi via UI like Pamac supports?

Or must one do this manually editing /etc/makepkg.conf? It'd be nice if I could just provide a location via Octopi to apply the builddir env var temporarily for the package, then I can disable/switch back to default /tmp location afterwards for usual packages.
