I'm in the situation where some of the information that I really would like to have in the pkgver/pkgrel isn't available until after the build step. Also, some information about the dependencies is clearly much easier to extract during the build process (due to the tools I have available to me). So, in short I'd like to massage the typically static values usually found in the head of the PKGBUILD as the build progresses. So, is there some way of either modifying this information during the PKGBUILD, or doing some post-processing from the PKGBUILD on the built package (like processing of the .PKGINFO)? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves. -- Alan Kay
