I don't even know what you are talking about, there is no "replacement" system and I never suggested there was.
Okay, sure, so I added the term "replacement" to what you said because that's how I understood it when I read it (as in "drop-in replacement"). My mistake.
What I said was that libmakepkg is by definition extendable by simply dropping in new components, which shouldn't be news to anyone...
Well, TBH, it's news to me. I've never seen any documentation about what you are describing nor have I ever seen it mentioned anywhere online that I frequent. Do you have any links I can reference to know what you are talking about. I'm trying to understand how I should go about implementing what I proposed in the way that you suggested implementing such a feature should be done if it's done at all.
Also, your emails look a bit wonky -- your top-posted responses to selected quotes appear above what seems to be a *forwarded* message, which is honestly kind of confusing to read.
Sorry, there's not much I can do about it. I don't have any option to reply in the style that you are using with my client. -- Dustin Falgout From: pacman-dev <pacman-dev-bounces@archlinux.org> on behalf of Eli Schwartz <eschwartz93@gmail.com> Sent: Saturday, April 22, 2017 10:03 PM To: pacman-dev@archlinux.org Subject: Re: [pacman-dev] [RFC] Make PKGBUILD attributes configurable On 04/22/2017 10:18 PM, Dustin Falgout wrote:
That sounds sensible to me. I didn't realize there was already a drop-in replacement system for makepkg. How does it work?

The source contains many examples of how to extend a bash array. :) ...
