sync: '--root' option leads to aur-build '-r' option (aka '--rmdeps') instead of '--root'

[paul-ri]

Before filing a bug, check the following:

1. Do you use the latest release of aurutils and its dependencies? If so,
   is the issue reproducible from the master branch?
2. Does the package conform to
   PKGBUILD(5) and the
   AUR package guidelines?
3. Does the package provide the correct metadata on the
   AUR RPC interface?
4. Does the package build with makepkg -s or extra-x86_64-build ?
5. Does the package use internal makepkg functions? (see FS#43502)
6. Is the problem reproducible, and not due to a misconfiguration of
   pacman, makepkg, sudoers, gpg or others?

If yes to all, create a debug log:

AUR_DEBUG=1 aur <name> <arguments> >aurutils.log 2>&1

and attach aurutils.log to this issue.

Description

Logs: aurutils.log

I believe the following aur-sync line (link) should append --root instead of -r to build_repo_args, since this leads to aur-build's --rmdeps option instead of the --root option. aur-sync's manual suggests --root is a valid option.

The following command:

aur sync --no-ver --no-confirm --no-view --database REDACTED_REPO --root /home/build/database yay
# leads to 
++(/usr/lib/aurutils/aur-sync:279): aur build --syncdeps --noconfirm -d REDACTED_REPO -r /home/build/database --status
# which leads to
++(/usr/lib/aurutils/aur-build:261): aur repo --repo REDACTED_REPO --status

Fails with:

+(/usr/lib/aurutils/aur-repo:197): printf '%s: %q: object is remote (use -S to query)\n' repo https://SOME_S3_BUCKET-2.amazonaws.com/REDACTED_REPO-arch/repo/x86_x64

Modifying the code locally as suggested runs successfully.

Thanks for the great project! I've used it for a couple of years smoothly without having to touch the script I wrote a while ago. So I may be mislead in how I'm using it. Regardless, the config option issue seems legit.

Fixed in 19.1
