  # Since building as the pacman user, no need for the workaround in LFS
  # proper for "FORCE_UNSAFE_CONFIGURE=1":
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make
}

  # One test, capabilities: binary store/restore, is known to fail if it is run
  # because LFS lacks selinux, but will be skipped if the host kernel does not

Prepare the build directory for the pacman user and build the package:

chown -R root:pacman .
chmod 2775 .
chmod 664 PKGBUILD
su pacman -c 'makepkg -L --nodeps'

Add the newly created package to the central package repository:

cp tar-1.35-1-$(uname -m).pkg.tar.xz \
   /srv/pacman/repos/LFS/
repo-add /srv/pacman/repos/LFS/LFS.db.tar.xz \
         /srv/pacman/repos/LFS/tar-1.35-1-$(uname -m).pkg.tar.xz

Update the local cache and install the Tar package:

pacman -Syu
pacman -S tar --overwrite \* -dd --noconfirm

Finally, copy the source files into the source repository and clean up the build directory:

mkdir /srv/pacman/source/LFS/tar
cp PKGBUILD /srv/pacman/source/LFS/tar
cd /sources
rm -rf tar
