It's definitely not a good patch, I just needed to get it fixed quickly so I could use makepkg, and thought I might as well submit it to provoke some discussion. It seems -p does brake, and I assume --forcever does as well. I didn't have enough knowledge of makepkg, nor the time, to tackle the problem properly. I suppose filing a bug report would have been better ;). I narrowed down the problem to the eval command. It appears eval changes $@ for some reason, as the following shell scripts shows: $ cat test-eval.sh #!/bin/bash echo "\$@ before eval: " echo $@ eval set -- "-p test abcd" echo "\$@ after eval:" echo $@ $ ./test-eval.sh this is a test $@ before eval: this is a test $@ after eval: -p test abcd -- Sebastian Nowicki
