Thanks for the explaination. This change make sense to me now.

I assume that if PKGBUILD.pkgsave actually existed on someones system then this would overwrite it. It would be better to get the temporary filename using "mktemp -u ./$BUILDSCRIPT.xxxxxxxx". You can then extract the .xxxx part using bash string manipulation.

+1 for Allan's suggestion. I'll wait for someone to update the patch. -Dan
