Hello, I'd like to start testing my PKGBUILD work with devtools prior to
pushing my work to the AUR however I rely on packages based in the AUR for
dependencies and when I try to use *extra-x86_64-build* in the location of
the PKGBUILD it works for a bit but then fails because it can't resolve the
AUR-based dependency packages. That makes sense as it's replicating the
local *makepkg -s* process, which would also fail if I didn't have those
dependencies installed ahead of time.

I normally accomplish this with yay
<https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yay> then
build the PKGBUILD with *makepkg -s*. How do other AUR maintainers
traditionally resolve their AUR-based dependencies when working with
devtools? I'm not opposed to using yay with devtools if pulling in an AUR
wrapper is appropriate; I'd just like to avoid having to manually install a
bunch of dependencies by hand before I'm able to test if my PKGBUILD work
is sound.  Thanks!
