beh, i thought you were onto something... i didn't look at the makepkg sources, but it is treating PKGDEST='"" as if it was never set. so, no dice :-(

however, if i use an absolute path (instead of ".") it works alright. in fact, i seem to have general problems with trying to use relative paths as PKGDEST:

==> ERROR: You do not have write permission to store packages in ./pkg/out. Aborting...

but i do of course.

Maybe you could use PKGDEST="$(pwd)" as a workaround?

yes this is what i did, thanks.

just bringing up the fact that makepkg totally bombs with relative PKGDEST... with a permission error... makepkg must be changing the cwd internally.

Use the bug tracker if you want that fixed.
