Re: [arch-general] Best way for PKGBUILD to depend on another PKGBUILD (not a package)

coreutils depends on libattr and libcap. Because of the nature of static compilation libattr.a and libcap.a files are needed during the build. My package defines PKGBUILDs from [core] repo as source=(), performs `makepkg`, and provides -L for coreutils make during build(). [2]

Something bugs me about calling makepkg from within a PKGBUILD. I would make attr-static and libpcap-static packages that don't strip the static libs when packaging and depend on those. ~Celti
