xbps-src -E desc wrong (or behavior (?))

[Johnnynator]

System

• xuname:
  output of xuname (part of xtools)
• package:
  affected package(s) including the version

Expected behavior

Behavior and desc to match

Actual behavior

-E only compiles a package if it isn't in local AND remote repos
Desc only talk about local repos.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Ping?

[Johnnynator]

This is still the case. Description and behavior doesn't match.

hmm I prefer the current behavior, is the documented behavior any useful in cases where its not also used with -N?

It helped me to prevent building successful packages twice without having to revbump them when testing if a change in a different package was breaking. So yeah at least I had my usecase.

I do not really care about which behavior we pick.
