trying to use makepkg -si with default config file results in this:

The main URL for getting kernel sources is unstable. Do this and you should be good to go this time

rm BIG_UGLY_FROGMINER 
_git_mirror=gregkh makepkg -si

@Tk-Glitch not sure but somehow when these two lines are triggered in prepare

error "Remote unreachable or took too long to respond"
exit 1

the exit_cleanup function is not called, maybe it's makepkg preventing that during Retrieving sources...
