i think the general conSENSEus on #archlinux is that, by all means use an AUR helper, BUT familiarise yourself with mkpkg beforehand as the said helper WILL break on pacman updates. Forewarned if forearmed
heres a wee shell script, by default it opens the PKGBUILD in $EDITOR for you to peruse BEFORE installing anything
