But a lot of the stuff in the PKGBUILD is copied into the package database, so why is the install stuff an exception? I don't think it'd be the only multi-line field. On 06/16/2011 04:29 PM, Daenyth Blank wrote:

It seems like the install functions pre/post_install/upgrade/remove could be defined right in the PKGBUILD. Any particular reason why this isn't or cannot be so?
This has come up on the ML before. It's because the PKGBUILD file is not installed to the system, and the system shouldn't have to know or care about the build process, only the install and usage.
