I've implemented log filtering in the current git version, which
would replace

/build/charles-samtools_0.1.12a-1-amd64-dvGJbJ with BUILDDIR to give you
BUILDDIR/samtools-0.1.12a.  I could add an additional PKGBUILDDIR to
replace the whole of
/build/charles-samtools_0.1.12a-1-amd64-dvGJbJ/samtools-0.1.12a with
PKGBUILDDIR if you would also want the actual package constant as well.


Regards,
Roger
