... the motivation of this message is to encourage adding some routines to the makepkg library, similar to msg/msg2/warning/etc, to handle development checkouts. basically i see people using _gitroot and _gitname for different stuff ... namely _gitname. i'd like to see a routine that pulls the repo to a known location so it doenst get blown away every update, and so the user doesnt have to manually manage this. everyone does it differently, puts the repository in all sorts of different locations/etc, and it just isnt very pretty IMO. <snip>
I am sure you didn't ask, but I use $SRCDEST/scm for this, do not define sources=() and run this in build(): cp -r "$SRCDEST/scm/$pkgname" "$srcdir/" -- -- Rogutės Sparnuotos
